It could well be them.
As much additional info as possible please.
If it's the correct family John William marries Margaret Morrison in Feb 1860.
Is the spelling "Wiklliam Starkey jnr" your typo or census typo?
Best regards, Mike

i cannot seem to find any of this family after the 1851 census entry
furthermore i cannot find a john william starkey to a margaret morrison marriage anywhere in england in 1860.
nor can i find a john starkey born 1831-1835 and wife margaret anywhere on the 1861 english census,
do you have the marr cert
if not what source do you have with regard to this marriage?
maybe SKS could have a look and see if they can find anything on the censuses.
-
forgot to mention believe this is definitely the right family all the childrens christenings are on the IGI
at ramsden street independant,huddersfield.
could they have emigrated before the 1861 census?
-
This makes sense as I believe they all moved to Scotland [may be moved back to Scotland??].
Not sure how many generations were in and around Huddersfield.
Not sure where William and Barbara were married. WRY looks likely.
The 1860 marriage of John is to Margaret from Kinross, Scotland [IGI].
William & Barbara seem to appear in the 1881 census in Clackmannan.
Many thanks for all the assistance.
Best regards, Mike

Hi,
Do you know anything about the William Starkey who married Barbara Buckley?
Could he belong to this family:
1 William Starkey b: 26 Sep 1776 in Huddersfield d: 05 Mar 1843 in Huddersfield
. +Martha Royston b: 1777 m: 19 Jun 1796 in Halifax d: 24 Mar 1821 in Huddersfield
.. 2 Starkey b: 10 Aug 1798 in Huddersfield
.. 2 Eliza Starkey b: 29 Jul 1800 in Huddersfield d: 13 Aug 1833 in Louisville, USA
.. 2 Mary Starkey b: 09 Jul 1803 in Huddersfield d: 29 Jul 1820 in Huddersfield
.. 2 Josiah Starkey b: 04 Sep 1809 in Huddersfield
.. 2 Sarah Starkey b: 23 Jul 1811 in Huddersfield
.. 2 Charles Edwin Starkey b: 22 Nov 1813 in Huddersfield
.. 2 Caroline Starkey b: 28 May 1818 in Huddersfield d: 19 Jul 1831 in Huddersfield
If so I can trace his ancestry way back.
-
I had some notes given which say the following about William Starkey:
Born 17 Jul 1709
Baptism 4 Sep 1809 at Highfield Independent.
This seems to be the birth and baptism of Josiah Starkey though!
Died 25 Jun 1880 at Tulliallan, Kincardine, Scotland
I think that William was born about 1806 and probably baptised at Highfield.
-
My wife is a descendant of William Starkey & Barbara Buckley. I have found it difficult to go back much further but I do have the following names that I was going to do further research on.
William Starkey
Martha Royston
John Buckley
Ann [possibly Brown]
I have not been able to pin down the date of birth for William [~1806] but have scans of documents from the Scottish Archives that I can pass on to you.
Please let me have your email address and I will invite you to view the Starkey family tree we have.
Kind regards, Mike

John William Starkey married Elizabeth Morrison, daughter of my GG Grandfather, John Morrison (1821-????), on 13 February, 1860, here in Cambusbarron. They had 3 children: Elizabeth, born in Kinross in 1860;William, born probably in Cambusbarron in 1862; and Barbara, born, and died, in 1864. Sadly, Elizabeth herself died that same year.
John then married a 'Johann Gancy' on 1st June, 1865, but she seems also to have passed away fairly soon, for John married for the third time on 26 November, 1866, to Christian Marshall: I know of two births here: John Marshall Starkey, b 12 September, 1867, and Janet, b 20 Dec 1868 - both in Kinross.
Of the Morrison - Starkey children, I know nothing more of William. Elizabeth married an Alexander Crawford (b 1857) but when and where, I don't know. They had 3 children that I know of: William, Christina and John William. About the two males, again, I have nothing, but know that Christina married a James Thomas Angus in Stirling in 1918. They then emigrated to the USA, the husband going in 1923, the wife in 1925. A son, William A Angus, was born there in 1927.
The name Starkey was a prominent one in our village of Cambusbarron (in St Ninians Parish) for a long time, though not so today. A George Starkey ran a grocer's shop here in the early sixties, and a late Starkey lady, who ran a fashionable ladies' clothes shop in nearby Stirling throughout the eighties, was a good friend of my mother-in-law. But the most prominent locally - and further afield - was Bob Starkey, a legendary Highland sportsman: I have many scanned cuttings of his career: here's the entry in a local history book 'A Cambusbarron Tapestry' about Bob:
Starkey, Robert (1890-1956): when he died, this Cambusbarron man was described in the Observer as
the most outstanding heavy events athlete to come out of the Stirling area, and during the period between the end of the First World War and 1926, he was supreme in most events in the Scottish Highland Games circuit.
He held and broke many records for throwing at Highland Games all over Scotland, and in Army or Services competition. He was also a champion Cumberland Wrestler. His reign might have been longer but for WW1. He became a policeman, then a soldier both during the War and after it, but began his working life in his native village, as a lime miner. In 1924, he was one of the coaches appointed to the British team at the Paris Olympics. And if not in Chariots of Fire, he does feature to this day as the highlander on the front of Scott’s Porage Oats packets – or, at least, his body does: over the years, his ageing face was constantly updated into more modern versions; but the frame remains that of Robert. One former Graham & Morton employee remembers him in his fifties, arriving at the dispatch area at the back of their King Street premises (entered through the Town Wall) and lugging quite comfortably, one in each outstretched hand, two large milk canisters, full of paraffin, to his car, parked several streets away. These, when full, took two G & M men to lift each one – onto a trolley before emerging into the street.
Happy to send you any of the cuttings, etc I have. hope this helps.

Hello Peter. Thanks for the response which repeats your response of November 2011. A senior moment perhaps!!! Good to see that you are still actively researching our ancestors. Best wishes, Mike Wright
