In 1861, Anna (or Anne) Tunley, widow aged 44, was living in the parish of St. Werburgh in Derby (Ponsonby Terrace) with her son Samuel, confectioner/baker, aged 21, birthplace Dalbury Lees. The death of a Godfrey Tunaley is recorded on the BMD register in Q2 1859 (ref 6b 208, Burton on Trent); this may have been Samuel’s father OR Godfrey Tunley born 1794 OR they may be one and the same person. |
According to this record involving one Samuel White (source: Norton Family History) Godfrey Tunaley was a Farmer, 1811, in the township of Horninglow, Staffs. Yet according to one copy of the 1841 Census, Godfrey (aged 33 i.e. b. 1808) was an agricultural labourer living at Dalbury Lees. Examination of the residential status of Samuel White was carried out 1811 making it virtually impossible for this second Godfrey Tunaley to have been the Godfrey referred to in the Samuel White document. According to another record: (a) the burial of Godfrey Tunaley took place 4th May 1859 at Dalbury Lees, with Godfrey aged 65 (b) subsequent burial of Ann Tunaley 6th. October 1861 with Ann aged 43. These evident imcompatibilities may now have been resolved thanks to research work carried out by Paul W. Tunaley. |
