Title: 1851 query????????
Post by: Helina on Sunday 10 May 09 10:38 BST (UK)
On the 1851 census... John Cory Withers born 1838, Parents John and Mary Withers, Bristol.  There is also a nephew Gostwacke Marcy age 17 born 1834, occupation.apprentice.  Is that a mis spelling if so could somebody kindly interperate the name.

Thanks

Hi Helina,

It looks like Gostwycke to me, and according to 1841 his surname is Masey.

I agree with Tati - I read it as Gostwycke Marcy, born Bristol

and, although I have not found this one on Free BMD there is one other Gostwycke  (Cheeswright, born Rotherham in 1887) so evidently a name even if not well used!

In the 1841 census
County of Bristol, St Nicholas (part of)
Address - Queen Square
HO107/373/9/32/12
Edward Masey, 47, Cooper
Elizabeth do, 45, no
Elizabeth do, 20
Maria do, 16
Mary do, 15
Frances do, 13
Gostwycke do, 7
Edward do, 21
(all born in county with the exception of Elizabeth aged 45)

Regards

Nell

IndisVanyar, Did you see where Elizabeth was born?  I,m trying to connect her to the Cory family who came from Devon.  Found a marriage 1818 between Edward Masey and Elizabeth Warren Cory. 

Thanks again

  On checking the batch number there are 8 Masey children baptised to the couple....
   2 Gostwycks  1831 & 1833
   2 Maria Ann's  1822 & 1824

  also Frances Cory Masey bapt 1828....

  So they seem to fit well.

Hi Helina

Unfortunately for us the 1841 census only gives a yes or no for born in the county where the census is being taken so there is no knowing (from this census return)
where Elizabeth, aged 45, came from originally :(

Regards

Nell (the IGI info looks promising though)

Should be Gostwyck MASEY.  His parents were deceased by 1851.  His mother was Elizabeth Warren CORY born  1797 in Devon.  Her parents were John CORY and Mary GOSTWICK.  Gostwyck emigrated to Australia  as did his siblings Edward Gostwyck, Mary Jane and Maria. The four of them married but only Edward G has living descendants.  Elizabeth Warren MASEY married and stayed in England and has living descendants.  Frances Cory MASEY died in England soon after marrying.

Gostwyck died in 1917 in New South Wales, Australia.
