I believe, the missing wife on this thread is a Mary Shuker.
Records on the Family Search website and on FreeReg show the marriage of James Gaze to Mary Shuker in St Thomas’ Church, Dudley, Worcestershire on the 25 August 1818; the witnesses to the marriage were a S. Paskin and a Sarah Gaze.
Copies of the parish records of St Thomas’ Church, Dudley (held in the Coseley Family History Centre) show the christenings of two daughters of James and Mary Gaze; Mary Ann, christened on 23 November 1823 (born on 22 November 1822)
and
Charlotte, christened on 20 March 1825.
On the first record James is described as a ‘Collier’ of Netherton and on the second record he is shown as a ‘Miner’ of Dudley.
Unfortunately, Charlotte lived for less than a year; an online transcript of a parish record shows her burial in the graveyard of St Thomas’ Church on 21 September 1825, aged 11 months.
Also, IGI records were found of the christenings of a further three children, in St Thomas’ Church, Dudley, on 11 October 1835;
George, who was born on 19 June 1826;
James, who was born on 4 March 1830;
and, Elizabeth (‘Betsy’).
A BMD record shows the birth of another daughter, Esther, in September quarter 1840 and an online family tree shows the date as 28 August 1840.
A BMD record shows the death of James in the Stourbridge District in the March quarter of 1840; the above family tree shows the actual date of death was 29 March 1840.
Mary remarried to a Benjamin Powis in the Dudley District in the June quarter of 1853.
Hope this is a helpful addition to the BCC record.
Hope all had a great xmas
