Hunt For the Missing Stagg 2

[baron of balham]

I am desperately seeking My great granddad, a S.Stagg (b:1860 in Yorkshire) he appears on the 1911 census living in wandsworth area. Apart from that i can not find a trace of him anywhere.

1911 Census reads,
S.Stagg        Head 51 married 12 years  painter and decorator, Birthplace: Yorkshire
M.A.Stagg    Wife  47 married                                                      Birthplace: London
Maud Stagg  Daug 25 Single                   Laundry                                          London
Ellen Stagg   Daug 21 Single                   Laundry                                          London 
Minnie Stagg Daug  5                                                                                     London
J E Ellis          brother in law 63 widower Gardner                                          Middlesex

i Need to find him on earlier census to help me understand my family tree better. i am desperately looking for any ideas and answers.

Hi & welcome to RootsChat

There is a birth registration for

Minnie May Stagg  1906  Apr-May-Jun Wandsworth  Vol 1d  Page 741

It might be worth investing in the birth certificate as this should show her parents names in full.

It looks as though this was a second marriage for one of the parents, about 1899

on my nans birth certificate the name of her father is william george stagg deceased,  in fact he died in 1893 and she was born in 1905.

Hmmm, look like a tricky bunch!  What do you think about this lot on the 1891 census at Corporation Street, Islington at  RG12; Piece: 162; Folio 141; Page 25

There's a daughter called Mary A born in Deptford, an unspecified 'relation' called William G Stagg and a couple of grandaughter's - could this be Hannah Stagg's birth?

Births Dec 1883
Bligh  Maud Hannah     Pancras  1b 99

Edit:  Yes, that's them - in 1881 Charles and Hannah Bligh are living next door to John and Eliza Ellis with Charles Bligh junior shown as John Ellis's brother in law.  So I think John Ellis was actually Mary Ann Stagg's brother in law, not her brother.

Hi
Welcome to Rootschat

Hmm mysterious... I wonder if Mary Ann Stagg (presumably nee Ellis) set up home with William's brother S Stagg? Who may or may not have been your Nan's father.
