thank you!..........I was really disappointed to read that he is probably born Ireland - as the census doesnt even say where in Ireland - I have traced back to 1851 census and that all it says...............looks like my search for his parents maybe at an end unfortunately - I know how hard it will be to trace!

nudge please!

I have just got back the death certificate for Richard Miller - the wandsworth one - and it is the correct one as it mentions Ellen Stows mother as the informant. Richard died age 39 in 1881 at the county lunatic asylum - it was registered in Wandswoth Surrey - it states he was a fibre weaver of St saviours.
Looking back at the MCof his marriage in 1872 Ealing , middlesex (the writing is really hard to read) we thought it said occupation as Mason but now looking at it IT MAY say weaver - the writing is that bad.
So, can anyone help me find Richard b1842 who is a weaver on the 1871 census

can someone please check that the Helena stone marriage to richard Miller 1872 is the same certificate numbers as the Ellen Stow marrying Richard Miller 1872..............I am 99% sure they are

Stephen

Stephen Report 20 Aug 2009 17:03

there is an error with the marriages she is on it as Helena Stow.......but looking at it it could be transcribed as stone.........Ellen (now Miller) is with he son John and William, they are with her mother Ellen Stow in 1881. Ellen Miller is a servant. The date you have for the Ealing marriage is the same but it says Stow not stone...... Are the two certificate numbers different then????
She was born 1852 Peckham.......in1881 she was in Newington.......her parents were Moses Stow (deceased in 1881 census) and Ellen Maden

Well if thats their marriage it was'nt the one I put up before which you said was their marriage. Have you got the cert for Ellen and Richard or the one for Helena Stone and Richard?

Who were Ellen's parents as I still can't find her on the 1871. I am only trying to find some link so need places of birth for Ellen. You have to understand I don't know any of these families and can only go on the info you provide. I am really trying to get something for you but without certain details it is very hard. I can't even find John with his mother where you say she is a widow. Was he born Surrey Newington?

i have all the information I need now on his wife Ellen Stow. My main aim now is to trace husband Richard Miller.....to try to find his parents. I didnt add this to my other thread as I was after a completely different search - on the Millers not the Stows. The son they had waas John Miller 1877 Newington - but i think I have all the information I need on him.... I am just interested in finding Richard Miller c1842 on the 1871 census - hopfully as a mason

It will help if people look at Stephen's previous thread 1171678 where there is much more info!

Mel Fairy Godmother Report 20 Aug 2009 15:25

Stephen it would help if we knew the name of the son they had in 1877. I can't find her on the 1871 census. Reading your thread again I realised that I had put the marriage up for 1872 and the couple on the 1871 census must be wrong!!!!!!!

When you say Helena was with her parents on the 1871 census what was she down as please name wise where born? Year of birth etc........

Stephen

Stephen Report 20 Aug 2009 15:07

thank you for your hard work, unfortunately this cannot be him as he didnt marry until 1872!!..........I really thought you had managed to solve this for me ! Oh well, will keep looking - thank you for trying to help!
