hi all
could someone please help me with possible parents for Ann Stead nee Ellis and/or possible parents for her husband Thomas Stead, m, 1819, according to the 1841 census this couple had 3 children, Matthew b, abt 1823, Rose b, 1830, James b, abt 1836, (Matthew and family arrived in Au 1850 & Rose and Family in 1854)  I know this is a big request and I really appreciate any help that anyone can offer
Thank you most sincerely
Joy

Hi

Do you have Thomas & Ann on later census.  When and where were they born.

Hi Rosie
Thank you for your reply, it is very much appreciated, unfortunately I have no further information on this family except for Matthew and his sister Rose in Au, his father Thomas at age 40 in the 1841 census was a coal dealer, Ann was also listed as being 40 in that census which places birth dates for them around the 1800 mark and also lists birthplaces as Y, the 3 children appear to be all born in Leeds, I suppose I assumed that the parents were born in that area, I do wish that I could offer more information.
Thanks again
Joy

I think the Brotherton family is the wrong family 

I have since found the following baptisms -

Name: Thos Stead
Birth Date: 2 Dec 1800, Middleton Baptism Date: 18 Jan 1801
Parish: Rothwell, Holy Trinity
Father's Name: Matthew Stead
Mother's name: Rose Stead

Thomas' parents names are same as two of his children so this could be more than likely the correct one

Name: Matthew Stead
Parish: Thorner, St Peter
Baptism Date: 23 Nov 1823
Father's Name: Thomas Stead, cordwainer, Thorner
Mother's name: Ann Stead

Name: Rose Stead
Birth Date: 26 Jun 1830 Baptism Date: 8 Jul 1830
Parish: Chapel Allerton, St Matthew
Father's Name: Thomas Stead, shoe maker, Moor Allerton, Leeds
Mother's name: Anne Stead

How have you determined that Thomas married a Ann Ellis?

I have information on the family of Thomas Stead from notes written by Thomas' niece Emily Stead and other sources. Thomas's father Matthew was my great x3 grandfather.
I'm sure it's the same family. My great x2 aunt Emily Stead writes:

"....Thomas had two children - Matthew, who went to Australia, and we know no more of him, and Rose, who married Robert Dunhill, and also went to Australia".

Let me know if you want more of the Stead information I have.
