Hi L & L (since I don't know which one you are!) From the St Mary's Hawkesbury PRs Baptisms No 538 Oct 31 1858 (Note all of these are listed under the same number - it must have been a family outing!) Ann dau of Hannah FERRID, Upton, Spinster Jane, dau of Edward & Ruth FERRIS, Upton, Labourer George, son of George & Mary FERRIS, Upton, labourer No 19 August 11 1867 George Thomas, son of Hannah FERRIS, Spinster, Upton No 143 may 28 1871 Hannah Elizabeth Stafford, dau of Hannah FERRIS, spinster, Upton (I think this may give you an answer!) Burials No 1565 Aug 16 1882 Robert STAFFORD Plot 14D Upton Age 86 No 1581 17 May 1883 Hannah FERRIS Upton age 54 Hope this helps, Carole -----Original Message----- From: L & L.Shephard [mailto:lodnles@ozzienet.net] Sent: 23 April 2005 09:27 To: ENG-GLO-HAWKESBURY-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [HWK] STAFFORD family Carol, Yes thanks - I do have all the census details for "my" STAFFORD family. Many thanks for your continued interest & help. Dare I mention another problem? 1861 census shows Thomas STAFFORD, widow, 39, carpenter with daughter Sarah G, scholar, aged 10 yrs. Also present is Hannah FERRIS, housekeeper aged 32 yrs and her daughter Ann S, aged 2 years. 1871 census for Thomas STAFFORD, 49, carpenter shows Hannah FERRIS, servant, age 42 yrs together with boarders Annie FERRIS, 12, George FERRIS, 3, and Hannah E FERRIS aged 2 months. 1881 census for Thomas STAFORD (sic) at Park Street, Hawkesbury, lists Hannah FERRIS, housekeeper, relationship unknown, together with George STAFFORD born abt 1868 and Hannah STAFFORD born about 1871. Is there a "story" here ? Hannah FERRIS born abt 1828 is known to have had Ann S illegitimately on 31 Oct 1858. Is it possible to verify that both George (1867) and Hannah (1871) although named FERRIS were actually children of Thomas STAFFORD? I note a death record for Hannah FERRIS 2nd qtr 1883 aged 54 years, buried at Hawkesbury 17 May 1883. If her death was "impending" maybe that is why the children were named STAFFORD in the 1881 census! Any comments (from anyone on this wonderful list)? ----- Original Message ----- From: "ANTHONY SHARP" <sharpafc@btinternet.com> To: <ENG-GLO-HAWKESBURY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, April 23, 2005 12:27 AM Subject: [HWK] STAFFORD family > > > Hi again Lorraine & Leslie > Have you seen the 1851, 1861 & 1871 census entries for Robert STAFFORD > in Glamorgan? -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Greetings Carole, You have been so very helpful. Although I think I have at last reached the end of my current research on the STAFFORD family, I intend to maintain my 'subscription' to the Hawkesbury mailing list - at least for the time being. Maybe I will get an opportunity to repay in some small way for all the help I have received. My connection is through those STAFFORDs who went to Glamorgan & Breconshire. The eldest daughter of David Charles STAFFORD & Elizabeth Whiting AKERS married the eldest of my father's brothers. Because my grandfather was apparently such a tyrant some brothers left home and this SHEPHARD family was never mentioned. I never even knew my father had 7 brothers and sisters, and so my research into my own family history has tended to be very detailed - and of course quite absorbing!
