Who are John & Mary Mead (High Easter ---> Mile End)?
« on: Thursday 03 October 13 19:24 BST (UK) »
I found the following three baptisms in the register of Stepney St Dunston & All Saints:
John Mead baptised 10 Mar 1833 - parents John (grocer) & Mary Mead
George Mead baptised 27 Oct 1834 - parents John (cheesemonger) & Mary Gardner Mead
Mary Mead baptised 23 May 1837 - parents John (cheesemonger) & Mary Gardner Mead

This would sit nicely with the following entry in the 1951 census [Class: HO107; Piece: 1553; Folio: 73; Page: 17]
Artichoke Row, Mile End Road, Mile End Old Town
John Mead...54...Higheaster, Essex (poulterer)
Mary Mead...50...Barking, Essex
John Mead...18...Mile End, Middlesex
George Mead...16...Mile End, Middlesex
Mary Ann Mead...13...Mile End, Middlesex

John, Mary and John were at the same address in 1841 (although George 6 and Mary Ann 3 are not, for some reason). Also there are George Mead 20 and Sarah Mead 15.

I wonder if someone could kindly let me know the marriage details of John & Mary Mead please? And also if they had any more children?

Thank you!

PS Mary Gardner Mead died Q4 1876 Epping. She is in the 1871 census living with son George & family in Buckhurst Hill.

This looks like the marriage:

John Mead, bachelor, and Mary Gardner Burley (altho' transcribed as Barley), spinster, married 5/1/1832 Stepney St. Dunstan and All Saints.

Hi

This looks like the marriage it may be John's second marriage ?

Thanks Marg. I guess that George Mead 20 and Sarah Mead 15 in the 1841 census may be children from John Mead's first marriage.

According to the marriage he was a Bachelor, may be they are niece and nephew ??

There is an the 1841 census for a Thomas and Mary Mead as head

Has there is no relationship given, I wonder if these 2 could be them, there are other children with Thomas and Mary, but a couple of them seem to be the same age as George and Mary

 George Mead b 1835 Essex together with a Mary Mead b 1837 Essex

That's quite possible. John Mead was born in High Easter. Perhaps George (20 y.o  in the 1841 census) was his nephew and Sarah was his niece.

There is a messageboard reference to George Mead baptised in High Easter on 9 Sep 1821. No information on the parents though, nor whether he had a younger sister called Sarah.
