Hi Josie Thank you for responding I believe you have the correct family----somewhere in my "mess" I believe I had received info regarding the Eley family--that Maria maiden name was Scales and she would be Joseph's niece---are you saying that the "WE" indicated Joseph as a widower---strange if that is the indication---but from what I have learned that in those days you could not always get the correct info from the census Would you know if the Cemetery you mention has a web site to contact Thanks again and hope to hear from you again My regards Richard ----- Original Message ----- From: "Josie Morson" <josie@themorsons.co.uk> To: <west-riding@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, November 09, 2007 9:28 PM Subject: Re: [WRY] What Cemetery???? > Richard, could this be him, listed as widowed in the 1881 census. > This is the only one near the age stated > > > Dwelling: New St 16 Ct 5 > Census Place: Barnsley, York, England > Source: FHL Film 1342111 PRO Ref RG11 Piece 4603 Folio 104 > Page 84 > Marr Age Sex Birthplace > George ELEY M 30 M Barnsley, York, England > Rel: Head > Occ: Coal Miner > Maria ELEY M 28 F Barnsley, York, England > Rel: Wife > Abraham ELEY 10 M Barnsley, York, England > Rel: Son > Loais ELEY 8 F Barnsley, York, England > Rel: Dau > Mary A.
