Thanks Kath, I will order that xx
:-) :-)

I think this is Priscilla's birth (the certificate would give her mother's maiden name):-


Name: PARTON, Priscilla
Registration district: Wellington (Shropshire)
County: Shropshire
Year of registration: 1839
Quarter of registration: Apr-May-Jun
Mother's maiden name: Not available before 1911 Q3
Volume no: 18
Page no: 203

I know this birth is in Shropshire and not Staffordshire which is given as her birthplace in the 1851 census. However in the 1871 census I think this is Priscilla after she married (with her father Charles living with her) and she gives her birthplace as Shropshire:-

GARBATT, Mary Ann Daughter F 0 1871 Staffordshire
PARTON, Charles Father-In-Law M 60 1811 Staffordshire

In the 1881 census she gives Shropshire again as her birthplace but in the 1891 census she is back to saying Longton, Staffordshire.

This looks like Priscilla's death:-

Typical. They were an 'interesting family! lol :-D

Reggie, Caroline was my gt grandmother :-)

The child William was baptised in Church.........................

The couple's daughter was baptised in Chapel

I doubt very much that William is connected to this family

On the 1841 census the child who you thought was Paula is Priscilla according to Findmypast.

oh thats interesting! Scalley???? I have never heard of that name before! on the 1851 census Chas. and Eliz have children Henry, mary ann, Pricilla and John Kelly, brother in law plus a 5 yr old child, nephew, surname Degg. On the 1841 census is another child Paula.

Since the first daughter on the census seems to be born 1829/1830 you will need parish records to find the marriage as it would have been before civil registration began.

Charles was born c 1813 in Staffordshire, and lived there all his life. I am trying to find WHEN he and Eliz. married. The ? over her surname is because my cousin thought so! But on an early census, living with the couple is a John KELLY, who is Brother in Law. Cab anyone find their wedding please?
