IGI

IGI has father John Bagnall born 1781, Staffordshire.

  • Sarah 1816
  • John 1821
  • Maria 1826
  • Harriet 1839
However, these seem to be based on the 1841 data only, and do not match the 1851 in terms of relationships.
Everyone other than John Bagnall aged 60 are assumed to be his children, but the 1841 does not state relationships, from the later censuses we can see that Sarah and Maria are sisters, but Harriot and a younger John are Sarah's children. There is a possibility that Sarah could be John's wife (later she lists herself as widow), but her sister's surname is Bagnall too. Sarah may have been only 14 when Harriet was born, her ages on the census records do not agree. Both Sarah and Maria appear to have illegitimate children (no father listed on birth certificate) it is dangerous to assume family relationships!

I could clear some of this up if I could find birth certificates for Sarah's children, John and Harriet, but I can not!

The 1841 Cenus for Wood Street, Lane End, Stafford, England has
John Bagnallmale60[1781]
Sarah Bagnallfemale30[1811]
John Bagnallmale25[1816]
Mary Bagnallfemale15[1826]
Harriet Bagnallfemale3[1838]

The 1851 Census for Anchor Road shows Sarah Bagnall as head of household, unmarried, Sarah has a sister Maria 25 with her, and both are China Burnishers. With them are Sarah's children a son John Bagnall aged 4 (therefore born about 1847) and a daughter Harriet 13 (therefore born about 1838).

I have a birth certificate for John Bagnall, born 2 November 1846, Lane End, mother Sarah Bagnall, father's name unrecorded

I have a birth certificate for Hannah Bagnall, born 11 December 1850, Anchor Road, Longton mother Maria Bagnall, father's name unrecorded
I have a birth certificate for a Hannah Maria Bagnall listed, born 16 April 1853, Anchor Road, Longton, mother Sarah Bagnall, father's name unrecorded.
This fits both the listing from the 1851 for Anchor Road and the details for "my" Hannah Maria Bagnall, except that when she was married she listed her father as James Bagnall.

The 1861 Census for 9 Anchor Road shows Sarah Bagnall (1837online shows as Baynall) as head of household, widow, Sarah is a Potter's Burnishers. With Sarah are children, son John Bagnall aged 15 (therefore born about 1846) a potter's mould ?common? and a daughter Anne Maria 15 (therefore born about 1854).

The 1881 census lists Sarah Bagnall (widow) as 67 years old living at 12, Garden Place, Caverswall, Staffordshire.
with her are her son John Bagnall 36 (unmarried)(therefore born about 1845), a labourer and James Kemp 63 (unmarried), Bricklayer.
all three were born in Longton, Staffordshire.

There was a Garden Place changed to Hackett Street, (neither are there now though) Longton which was off Goddard street which runs down into Anchor Road.

Bagguley Families

This section is here to document a false trail that I followed when looking got Bagnalls!

George Bagguley & Sarah Thomas

The marriage certificate of George Bagguley gives his place of residence as Bucknall (near Hanley) and the occupation as potter for both George and Sarah. The wedding took place on the 13th of October 1839 at Bucknall church under the rites of the Church of England.

Their fathers are listed as Thos (Thomas) Bagguley potter and Ed (Edward) Thomas tailor.

Both Thomas and Sarah "made their mark"

There is a death recorded for a George Hand Bagguley, in Stoke-on-Trent in the fourth quarter of 1851. Dec 1851 Stoke-on-Trent vol 6b page 114.

Sarah Baggaley

There is a marriage recorded for a Sarah Baggaley, in Stoke-on-trent in the first quarter of 1854. Mar 1854 Stoke-on-Trent vol 6b page 239. This could be a second marriage for Sarah Thomas!?

There is a death of a Sarah Bagaley, aged 55 Mar 1866 Stoke-on-Trent vol 6b page 121 (born about 1811).

There is another marriage recorded for a Sarah Baggaley. Jun 1866 Stoke-on-Trent vol 6b page 313.

There is another marriage recorded for a Sarah Baggeley. Mar 1870 Stoke-on-Trent vol 6b page 263

There is a death of a Sarah Baguley, aged 77 Jun 1870 Stoke-on-Trent vol 6b page 121 (born about 1793).

Other Baggalley Family

Searching for our Baggeley family, I came across this family in the 1881 census.

In the census Hannah is a widow and the four other members of the family are living in Blantyre Street, Trentham, Staffs.

Yet more Bagguleys etc.

The free BMD and the 1881 census show a great many people in and around Stoke-on-Trent with this surname, spent in a great many ways!

Baggaley, Baggalley, Bagguley, Baggeley, Baggley, Bagaley, Bagley, Baguley, Baggulley etc. (there are also Buckly, Bakewell, Beacall, Beesly etc.).

The name with its many variations comes from the Anglo-Saxon for high ground and is a place name in Cheshire.

FamilySearch.org gives details of a family of Bagguley’s who started in Halmerend in Staffordshire moved Hindley Lancashire and ended up in back in staffordshire.
