[Tids54]

Following my earlier request for Joseph Bisbey.....please could someone help find Joseph Bisbey and his family in the 1851 census...possibly living in Sedgley, Staffs.

Many thanks

Donna......you are a real treasure - thanks for that information !

Joseph eventually married Maria Pearson in 1854 and I see she was a lodger with him at that point. Still no sign of a first wife though.

But thank you so much you have resolved quite a few queries for me.

Could this be his first wife?

JOSEPH BISBEY 
Spouse:  ELIZABETH TRANTER
Marriage:  18 APR 1826   Saint Peter Or Collegiate, Wolverhampton, Stafford, England

Yes, this is more than likely his first wife but I have nothing to back it up with. However, I have since found a Susanna Bisby born in 1841 so I have ordered her birth certificate which will give me the names of her parents.

It does seem odd though that although they married in 1826 (assuming it is the correct marriage) I can only find details of the one child born 15 years later - seems a long wait.

Thanks you both for your invaluable help.....greatly appreciated.

HI there

Looks like the marriage MIGHT be right after all although they did take a long time having Susannah if she was their first child.

After seeing the 1841 posting I found this.

Deaths Dec 1847
Bisby  Elizabeth    Wolverhampton  17 303

You lot are brilliant on here......don't know what I'd do without you 

Thank you all so much....

Darn it.........Susanna must be Joseph's niece as her parents are Richard Bisby and Susanna Rothin.

Back to the drawing board on this one.
