Henry Wagstaff was my g-g-grandfather, his daughter Catherine being my g-g-grandmother. I have an old photo of her but not sure how i put it onto the site.

Many thanks for the burial information - where is the burial site exactly? I also don't understand how William and Elizabeth were buried on the same date or why they were living at seperate address's. Any ideas on this and also how can i verifiy that this is them? Sorry for all these questions!

[cov2811]

Sorry Elizabeth was buried on 5/11/1871 my mistake
Burial site is London Road cemetery Coventry

Mystery solved  .
I don't suppose you know if this grave is still visable? Be nice to pay a visit if it is. Have you any idea when Sarah (his first wife) died or where she is buried?

[cov2811]

Sarh isnt buried there, it's hard to say if the headstone would still be there you could ring the cemetery they maybe able to help if you give them the square and grave number

The William Wagstaff who died in Feb 1863, was my wife's gt gt gt grandfather. He is shown as living in Cox St in the 1861 census aged 86, so I'm pretty sure it's him. He was a Silk Weaver and was born at Stoke. His wife Elizabeth was 27 years his junior!

So many thanks to cov2811 for that info!

It's wonderful to find so much info on your ancestors! Many thanks to you all for all your help

Nevis - it is quite straightforward - click the reply button as usual and then click 'Attach a photograph or image', then click the browse button to find the photo on your hard drive. When you've found it and selected it by clicking on it, click the button marked 'open' on the photo window. Then post as normal.

I'd like to see it anyway!

And by the way, if you want copies of the censuses for Wm Wagstaff 1841, 1851 and 1861, just ask me and I'll post them here or via PM or email as you wish.
