Thank you Barry, is there anyway you can find when Sophia Evans nee Stainer died please. As she couldn't be found after the 1861 census. It said James was a widower (posting from another kind helper)
regards Linda.

Mary's parents were James b 1817 Bath died 1871 and Sophia Stainer b 1816 Somerset

very grateful. thank you again.

Yes Linda, on 1871 James senior (1818) is listed as widower on the original. James junior (1847) has occupation of woodchopper.

Think your death details are probably the correct ones., thank you again. Lynne

ha ha thank you , so grateful. you have gone above and beyond for me.
I see on the census for 1871 you have Mary's father James living with them, but no whereabouts for her Mother Sophia nee Stainer, b Somerset 1818
Would imagine she had died then?
