Can someone just recheck we have the right robert maisey as there appears to be a mays and mayes in Norfolk. James and Thomas come up under records with dad Robert maisey and Robert Mayes with mother margaret. Are these records just duplicates? Also on the 1841 census of Robert, there is a...

I had a look on some trees done by others and came across James and Elizabeth sims with the three children you mentioned. However, as of yet I cant see any link with Robert directly eg a record. No one has Robert on their tree but thats not to say he isn't their son. Just trying to find...

Yes he did, Ann Elizabeth tho I think she went by Elizabeth as when I went to look her birth record up, nothing came up with Jame's wife maiden name..or when I just used the name Elizabeth.but I found her under: MAIZEY, ANN ELIZABETH BASSINGTHWAIGHTE GRO Reference: 1846 J Quarter in GREAT...

I found that with Robert Maisey there are also records where his surname is spelt Mayes. I think one of the sons, there were two baptism records, one for Maisey and one under Mayes, both parents robert and margaret. I do wonder what the surname was originally

Again maybe clutching at straws but there was an Elizabeth Guest as a godparent. An eliza Mays married a george isaac guest in birmingham in 1888 and living next to them in the 1891 census are a family surname long. However I dont think this is Eliza either as it says born staffordshire not...

Okay probably clutching at straws but a John Hardingham, from Norfolk same area as the mayes, married Eliza Mayes 1880. John Hardingham was a fish curer. Same profession as the mayes. However, it would seem this Eliza Mayes was born Norfolk not birmingham

There is a record for an Eliza Maisey 1881 working as a servant. The age fits. She was in gem street with matilda in 1871. Could be her but going to look at other records for Mayes etc Theres also an eliza mays - different spelling, servant again in the 1891 census - ignore the 1891 record...

yeah. I am going to look for eliza but I think we may struggle. So do you think that is his parents. The census's have him as ireland, leicester and scotland. But it makes sense what you have found out

I just want to say to everyone who has been helping, I really really do appreciate what you are doing helping with this. This family is so complicated and difficult to trace but I really do owe you a lot for all the looking up of things and helping to join the dots. x

I believe your correct. Here's the death register. Seems he died at the workhouse infirmary?? His profession fits

Thank you that is helpful. I will try and look that up. It would be good as well if we could trace Eliza, Matilda's sister. May be hard with the spellings and the fact she was in gem street. Not sure what happened to her

Thanks

And just to confuse things further. Just looked up Robert Maisey 1801. The 1841 and 1851 put him as being born in Ireland, Scotland and Leicestershire. I havent traced him in terms of parents

Also Thomas Mayes must have died before 1901 because Eliza Morton is down as a widow on the 1901 census. John Mayes/maisey was a bricklayer. Same profession as James Snell - John on 1851 census

Yes sorry getting confused. John was 1st July 1865-6th Aug....so four weeks or so. Actually Robert was nearly a year old. Just checked when he was born and when death registered. 14th May 1863-1 May 1864

Okay just looked up the baptism for John. Dont have a full baptism record like we did for Eliza and Matilda. Have attached what I found. Think the church is the same. However, on this one the mothers first name is not put down. Father is Massey. Doesnt say anything other than that. Dont...

Will take a look. I doubt if Robert was baptised given he died 4 days old

Hannah Loodmer is on the 1861 census with husband John and daughter Hannah T M Gardiner? so is that Hannah's previous name perhaps as daughter is aged 10. May have no relation with the mayes/snell family and living at 71, Barford Street, birmingham. FMP have no record of Robert or hannah or...

I thought if Sabina was irish or catholic that her son John would have also been baptised. I tried looking for records using different spellings but cant find any. Also I think its the 1871 census where Sabina is down as Louisa

Yeah it doesn’t help. Are the baptism pics still there
