This lady married in St George's, Hanover Square, London in 2nd quarter 1871 so I have good reason to believe that she was in service in London: she was in service in a large household in Bath in 1861.

She married a man who was a coachman in a large household in the Midlands in 1871, which lends itself to the notion that he met her through his job travelling between important houses.

Kate was baptised Kitty but seems to have used Kate when she grew up. She was born in Horsington/South Cheriton, in Somerset in 1841.

I cannot find her on Ancestry in 1871; can anyone find her on another site please.

Hopefully,
Heather

Can you tell us who she married in 1871?...

Heather Report 13 Mar 2011 08:47

Richard Bagley: he was a groom in 1861, coachman 1871. Born in Shropshire 1843 (birth index says 43, a family historian says 42 to fit with a baptism record for his census stated birthplace of Sutton Maddock )

Nothing showing for 1871...
Have tried 1881 1891, but no luck, so far.

Find My Past Passenger Lists start at 1890, so could be a bit too late.

edits, unless you have them on later Census...

So she was Kate Bagley in 1871 if he was already married?
The census took place on 2 April, what is the exact date of marriage from the marriage certificate?
Thanks

I found the free bmd marriage.
I just wanted to know if she is Penny or Bagley on 1871 census as Heather has put Penny.

Well I have looked for her under the names of Kitty Penny/Bagley. Kate Penny/Bagley. Kate Penney/Bayley and still no luck.

If she was a servant I wonder if they would change her name if she had married. Did they call her Kate or Kitty or Kit????? Unless she is on a missing census................................

Thought I would check out Clarence Street in 1871 although the houses aren't numbered which is annoying, but living there is a William Bagley, Ironmonger's Porter born Sutton Maddock Shropshire. So he could be a brother to Richard

He appears with Richard in 1851 with their parents in Sutton Maddock although his birth year is a few years different I'm sure it is the same one
