Barry St Ledger b. 1790-1794

[Maisy]

Can someone help me please to find a marriage for Barry St Ledger born in Scotland between 1790-1794? I've managed to trace him and his wife Eunice ??? surname unknown living in Staffordshire in 1841. Any chance of finding his parents or siblings? Thank you.

his wife Eunice ??? surname unknown

Since Barnett was born 1841 in Staffordshire i was hoping to find his birth reg. in GRO to get mother's maiden name but can not find it.

Thanks for looking. I did look at Freebmd too but found nothing.

I couldn’t find him on the birth index either. Just had another look.

1841 - J quarter - Wolverhampton and Seisdon
Barry Saint Leger
Mothers maiden name Moregrove.

 

[Maisy]

Now I'm a bit confused. Barry St Ledger 1841 mother Moregrove? Is this Barnett's mothers name?

More baptisms
Elizabeth St Leger 26 May 1839 Wolverhampton Parents Barry and Unice. GRO Jun 1839 Wolverhampton & Seisdon 17 360 mmn Musgrove
Hayes St Leger 3 September 1843 parents barry and Unice. GRO Sep 1843 Wolverhampton and Seisdon 17 342 mmn Musgrove

Elizabeth dies 1840. Hayes appears as Hays St Lidger on the 1851 Census in the Workhouse with pob wrongly given as Glasgow
Eunice dies 1847
Eunice St Leger Sep 1847 Wolverhampton 17 267 age 40

I cannot see a birth for a Eunice Musgrove, nor a marriage.

More children found
Jane baptised 27 June 1837 Hereford. She must be the one who died 1839 aged 2 in Wolverhampton.
Hayes baptised 12 December 1834 Aberystwyth, buried there 30 May 1836 aged 17 months.
Elizabeth baptised 26 April 1846 Wolverhampton. No burial found for her, she doesn't seem to appear in any Census and isnt on the GRO Index either.

 

[Maisy]

Hayes baptised 1834 and died 1836 must be a younger child but I'm not sure where Aberystwyth came in. My ancestor is Hays/Hayes born in Wolverhampton in 1843 to Barry and Eunice/Unice. He went on to marry Sarah Andrews. Why do you think Glasgow was given wrongly on the 1851 census for Barry? The 1841 shows Barry (b. 1790-1794) St Ledger born in Scotland?
Thank you emeltee you've been a great help. I don't have access to FMP or Ancestry.

 

[emeltee]

Glasgow wasn't given wrongly on the 1851 Census for Barry. It was down as the birth place for Hayes whose birth is on the GRO Index as being registered in Wolverhampton.

 

[Maisy]

Thanks my mistake.

 

[juliejtp]

I see there is a surname mis transcription for Eunice, so she’s a Musgrove not Moregrove as per Barry’s birth registration on the GRO site.

A family tree has her surname as Musgrave.

 

[Maisy]

Thank you Julie. Can you tell me please where you saw the family tree with the surname Musgrave?

 

[juliejtp]

Hi Maisy,

it was on Ancestry uk.

 

[Maisy]

Hi Julie, thank you.

 

[juliejtp]

Maisy did you find it? I went back to have another look and couldn‘t find it🤔

 

[Maisy]

Hi Julie, I've just been looking and can't seen anything with her name. Thanks for getting back to me.
