Baggaley/Baggerley

[Katielw]

Hi Sharon.  I have found Emily Baggaley in the 1881 England census living with her children, one of them being Elizabeth b 1875 so that fits in exactly with what you were saying about Albert's wife.  No I have looked for a death for Emily in England but can't seem to find anything so I am presuming she may have died in the USA?  Thanks again for all your searching too!

Hi, Kate,

Now that we're certain that we're talking about the same George Baggaley, can I make sure I have the right info for HIS parents?

I have this from the 1871 census:
John:  age 36, born Fenton
Emily:  34, b. Hanley
George: 16, b. Longton
Sarah: 13. b. Longton
Albert: 7, b. Longton
Emily: 5, b. East Vale

and this from 1861:
John Baggaley ("Baggerly"):  25, born Hanley
Emma Baggaley:  24; born Hanley
George Baggaley: 7; Longton
Sarah Baggaley:  3; Longton
Mary Baggaley 2 months; Longton
Joseph Drakeford:  age 55. born Hanley
Maria Drakeford: 53, born Fenton
Joseph Drakeford: 12, born Hanley
Georgeana Drakeford:  8, born Hanley

Looks like mom and dad were living with mom's parents. 

But it gets fuzzy for me here in the 1851 census:
George Baggaly: 56; born in Lane Delph
Isabella Baggaly: 30; born in Longton
John Baggaly: 17; born in Longton
William Baggaly: 15; born in Longton
Levi Baggaly: 7; born in Longton
James Baggaly: 4; born in Longton
Martha Baggaly: 2; born in Longton

Is this the right John Baggaley, and if so, are he and William George's sons by a different mother?  Isabella seems a bit young for them.   And is Longton anywhere near Fenton, or is it likely that someone just rushed through the census and listed all the children as being from the same locale?

Thanks for helping with this.

Hi Sharon

Great to hear from you again.  Yes, the 1871 and 1861 are our family.  Joseph Drakeford and Maria (maiden name Thomas) had the following children:

Emily b1837
Tamar b1838
Maria b1841
Priscilla b1845
Joseph Thomas b1849
Georgiana b1851

I am unsure as to whether that is our John in the 1851 census - the towns of Fenton, Hanley and Longton were close to each other (they now form part of Stoke-on-Trent which has a whole area of about 30 miles).  I agree that Isabella is not the mother of John or William Baggaly.  I have found the marriage for George and Isabella which was 1842, so the 3 younger children, Levi, James and Martha are their children and I am guessing that George lost his first wife (mother to John and William).  I will have another look and see if I can find anything else!!

I have Baggaleys in my family too, although they were around the Stoke area, so I've been taking an interest in your thread.   Can't see any connections yet unfortunately!

Hi Liz

Thanks so much for your message! Funnily enough I found that family in the 1841 census and was wondering whether they may be part of my family!! I'm glad to hear that you agree! Great to hear that you have Baggaley's in your family too. I am finding so many different spellings of Baggaley, its a bit hard to keep track of which are actually members of my family, but they do seem to be focused around the Longton area of Stoke-on-Trent!

Thanks again!

Kate
