Stops in Thame 1830's/1840's
« on: Tuesday 14 February 06 18:43 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone help to track down John Stops (borm Thame c1817) and his wife Mary - poss surname Dormer (also born Thame c1818).

The earliest trace I can find is in the 1851 census where they are shown as living in Wells Street, Marylebone, London with their children John and William Albert. There is no trace of them in London in the 1841 census so presumably they moved there in the 1840's.

Any help gratefully received.

Do you have any indication when and where they were married. e.g.  Where and when their first child was born?  If you think that was in Thame I will look in the fiche of the Thame parish register when I next go to Berks FHS Search Room in Reading but it may be a week or two.

I will look at this thread before I go to check no-one else has answered.

Their children were all born in Marylebone, the first in c1848 so I think they  must have moved to London between 1841 and 1848, possibly to live with an older brother of John Stops who had moved there from Thame earlier.

I assume this last because the 1851 census shows another family Stops at the same address headed by a widow Hannah who was born in Middlesex.

Both John and Mary were born in Thame and would have been in their 20's when they moved to London so I'm hoping there is some trace of them in Thame records.

Thanks for your help on this.
