Can anyone find Mahalah on 1881, 1891 and 1901 censuses please. I have been trying on and off for years without any success. This is what I have

Mahalah Pargeter was born 8 November 1848, Bugpool, Kingswinford. I have her Birth Certificate.

Marriage: 23 June 1879 Holy Trinity, Wordsley
John Wyld - 34 - B - Pvt. Gunner - Wordsley - William Wyld - Brickmaker
Amelia Pargetter - 30 - S - Wordsley - Edward Pargetter - Clerk
Wit: William Davies, Martha Davies

n.b. Bride's name should be Mahalah. Groom's surname spelled differently on censuses before his marriage.

Mahalah (Pargeter) Wild died 20 October 1901 at Prestwood, Kinver, Staffs, she being a Widow of John Wild a General Labourer. The informant was Thomas Stevenson, Mahalah's nephew - I know where he fits in. I have her Death Certificate.

Thanks.

Did they have any children?

I added that the other day to BCC Jimmy https://www.tribalpages.com/tribe/brows ... =882026040

I haven't been able to see them 1871 though...

Thomas I was looking at too
1901. Brettel Lane Wordsley
Thomas Stevenson, head, S, 34, ?
Mary Pearson, Mother, W, 58,
Both born Kingswinford

1911. 32 Summer Street, Kingswinford.
Thomas Stevenson, head, 44, Conductor,
Ada, wife, 45, Hagley
Horace Thomas, son, 2, Kingswinford
Florence Alice Davies, stepdaughter, 16, domestic servant, Wordsley

Seems he was Mary Pargeter son? I had some other things but can't see them at the moment.

Thank you Jo and Jimmy for looking at this for me.

I have those census Jimmy, but I'm not convinced of the Amelia on the 1881 census, as she is listed as Single (Mahalah married John Wild in 1879) and the wrong age - okay, it could be a mistake, but....

Jo, the Thomas Stevenson I have all the info on him. His Mother is Mary Pargeter who married Thomas Stevenson in 1862, Thomas died then Mary married Joseph Pearson in 1884. Mary was Mahalah's sister.

When I have more time, I will add the info I have on to BCC to make it more clear.

Thanks again both. Oh, I can't find them either Jo in the 1871 census.

I have found there have been a lot of marriages, and not long after the female turns up in the next census as single woman under her maiden name,
also I noticed the person she married was a soldier.

I have added on BCC here

and Thomas Stevensosn here

I don't think any more can be added to this so it can be archives. Thanks both for your input.
