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

 

[CaroleW]

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.

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
