Hi and welcome to Rootschat
Can you always include birthyears and birthplaces from census entries
William G Stagg was aged 25 b Toddington Bedfordshire occ groom and was unmarried
-
Who did he marry as there are 2 marriages for a William G Stagg between 1891 & 1901. Your aunt will know her grandmothers name
1891 in Croydon to Phedora Wood and 1900 St George Hanover Sq to Maud Mary Field
The William Stagg married to Maud was a Metropolitan police constable in 1901 and was only b 1872
The 1901 also has a William George Stagg b Wiltshire 1864 married to Jane
-
The death of a William G Stagg is recorded in Paddington in Dec Q 1923 age 60 - could this be the one you want?
Also Baron, don't assume your info is 100% correct and don't rule out eg a death where the age is a year or two out. You may also need to look on the census for "Stag" or Wm or William without the initial G in case other people have made mistakes.

William George stagg with Mary A Bligh. Children Of William are Ellen stagg, Maud Bligh and Minnie Stagg
He died before 1911. according to his daughter ellens married cert.
-
So they never married?
1901 (should read 1891) shows Mary Bligh as single aged 25
Maud Bligh is 7 and Ellen Stagg is 7mths old

Maud Hannah Bligh was the illegitimate daughter of Mary A Bligh and was born in St Pancras Workhouse on 22.9.1883

1901 shows Mary Bligh as single aged 25
Maud Bligh is 7 and Ellen Stagg is 7mths old
i don't know if they married or not but the rest is correct

By 1901 Mary (as STAGG) is enumerated as widowed and a niece in an ELLIS family in Croydon. Also in the household are two STAGG children, Hannah (18 b Kentish Town) and Ellen (10 b Cattle Market, Islington).
1901 ref: RG13/644/77/43.
I wonder whether Hannah might be the same child enumerated in 1891 as Maud BLIGH (7 b St Pancras)? Having now seen her baptism as "Maud Hannah" posted by Carole, I would think that looks likely.

Minnie seems to have been born later, and must have been fathered by somebody else:

thanks all for your help, i'm still confused
-
William George Stagg had about 5 brothers
-
He did not marry Mary Ann Bligh and was not the father of either Minnie or Maud. Minnie was only born in 1906
He appears to be the father of Ellen in as much as her birth was registered as Stagg
Births September qtr 1890
Ellen Elizabeth Stagg Islington 1b 282
William died in 1893 as posted above and was not a vet - he was a groom
The free 1911 index shows S Stagg male b 1860 - where was S Stagg born and what was his occupation
How many years are they shown as married on the 1911 entry
