Hi Listers, I am new to this list and have joined to find out what I can about the LACEY family of Princes Risboro'. The family are living at 35 Back Lane on the 1881 Census, but the first instance I have is 24 High Street on the 1861. At the moment I am finding it difficult to read the first name of the son aged 17 on the 1861 along with his job. His name looks like Laeshaus but the job has got me beat. Also on the 1901 census Ebenezer Moses LACEY is living above a grocers shop in Wycombe but I haven't had much luck deciphering his job either. Any information about the above would be greatly appreciated. Regards Paul in Bulwell Nottingham

1861 - The Bucks GS & British Origins have both transcribed his name as Zaccheus, which looks right to me. If you compare the first letter with the L in Lewis, immediately above, they're rather different. In 1851, the only Benjamin LACEY the right age is shown as born Askett (very near Princes Risborough), married to Ann, age 31, born Princes Risborough. Draper & Grocer again, age 30. No children. Can't see him in the 1841 census. He's listed in Dutton, Allen & Co's 1863 directory Benjamin LACEY, Draper & Grocer, Duke St. Note that there are hordes of Laceys in the area, many (surprise, surprise!) in Lacey Green. Princes Risborough is one of the few places to have both the 1821 & 1831 censuses survive, & a transcripion has been published (along with much else) in "The People of Princes Risborough", vols 1 & 2, by The Eureka Partnership.
