Lookup request BISSELL Ann or Nancy in Dudley
« on: Friday 06 April 12 00:46 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I am trying to establish when Ann (aka Nancy) Bissell nee Stevens died some time between 1851 and 1861. There are several likely candidates in FreeBMD and rather than spend my hard-earned ordering all the certificates I thought I would ask one of you lovely people to look up the parish registers on my behalf and nearrow the field (it's a bit far from Australia to do myself :o).

Details:
Ann Bissell nee Stevens b 1795
Husband William Bissell, engineer b 1795
In the 1851 census she was living at 6 Scott's Green, Dudley with William, her 2 living children John (20, a gas holder maker) and Elizabeth (24) and a visitor Elizabeth Smith (8). In that entry she was called Nancy.
William was a widower in the 1861 census but still at Scott's Green

From FreeBMD
Mar 1851 BISSELL Ann Dudley 18 305   
Dec 1852  BISSELL Ann Stourbridge  6c 75   
Jun 1853   Bissell  Ann Dudley  6c 7   
Mar 1853 Bissell Nancy Dudley 6c 63
Jun 1858  Bissell Nancy Dudley 6c 66   
Jun 1859  BISSELL Nancy Dudley 6c 74

I would also be interested to know who her parents were. She married William 31 Aug 1817 at Kingswinford, Stafford

Many thanks for any assistance

Dear Julia,
  I just happened to spot your post.I'm descended from Joseph Stevens born 5.10.1806 Dudley to John and Sarah Stevens and possibly Nancys brother.
I've found two possible marraiges for them in Kingswinford one to a Sarah Blewitt 31.10.1784.and one to Sarah Baker 5.4.1790.So John Baker could be Nancy's uncle.
John Stevens was born 1767 in Kingswinford and died in 1841 at Brandy Row Dudley.
Haven't done anything on Nancy Stevens but have got back a bit further on John Stevens if they are the right couple.
All for now

Dear Ciderdrinker,
Thanks for the information, it looks like the Baker connection is the more likely one for Nancy (and Joseph's ) mother.

I shall ferret about ans see what turns up
many thanks
Julia

Thanks so much for that information Ciderdrinker.

Nancy Stevens is my 6xggMo so it would seem we are cousins however many times removed. I would love any other information that you have on the Stevens side of things.
cheers
Julia
