Thomas Stacey and his 2nd wife Rebecca he married 30 May 1847 Cathedral Saint Peter

I am just wondering from my previous question about the Stacey Family if anyone has the death & burial records for Thomas Stacey birth 1792 and his second wife Rebecca. There are quite a few Thomas Stacey's which is making it difficult.
I am unable to locate an 1861 census for either which makes me believe both have died between the 1851 census and the 1861
Thomas Staceys first wife Elizabeth died July 1846 • 50 South Street, Ecclesall Bierlow, Yorkshire, England
If found could you mention the cemetery please
Thanks Barry

Have you tried using FreeBMD 1851-1861.

That would be a start.

Using Rebecca Stacey I found she is there.
Ecclesall Bierlow.

Barry, the GRO Index says Thomas Parker Stacey age 64 died in Ecclesall Bierlow q3 1855 and Rebecca Stacey age 56 died in Ecclesall Bierlow Q1 1856.

Dave I did find Thomas Parker Stacey record on Ancestry. I have looked on many collections of records on Ancestry, although Rebecca Stacey does show up on Free BMD I am unable to locate a record I can attach to her.
Elaine mentions about Thomas being on Free BMD, I have used it many, many times only to find I have the wrong person, because no ages were there.
Only last week I wanted a person and I had the name correct for a death in 1863, Only to be corrected by another member saying it should have been 1864 because the 1863 same name, same town, was 8 years old and not 33 years.
If anyone can find a record for Rebecca which I can attach it would be appreciated. Probable on FMP.
Although I have now got the years, I would have liked the burial records if possible.

Re: Thomas Stacey and his 2nd wife Rebecca he married 30 May 1847 Cathedral Saint Peter

Barry, you need to use the new improved, and FREE GROIndex. It gives ages at death for all deaths from 1837 to 1915 and mother's maiden name for all births from 1837 to 1915. It is a little bit quirky to use at first but you quickly get used to it.

thanks Barry

Hi Barry
Sorry about typo. Rebecca did die in 1856.
The General Cemetery is not at City Road. It is located in the Sharrow area of Sheffield-on Cemetery Road.
I will email the info to you.

Hi Barry

This is the link for the updated GRO index

https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/Login.asp

This gives the age at death from 1837 to 1865.
From 1865 the age at death was included in the GRO index.
