I am attempting to track down and assemble some information on various members of the Veazey (various spelling ) family who were living in and around the North of London (Islington area ?) from at least the 1850s and am hoping that you may be of some assistance to me.
My GG Grandmother was Martha Veazey who married William Parmenter in 1850 in St Pauls, Middlesex, at the time they were living in WhiteCross Street. Her father was a Samuel Veazey, occupation Chimney Sweep. A Samuel Veazey, Chimney Sweep is later recorded in the 1871 Post Office Directory at 22 Prospect Place, Black Rd, Kingsland. Soon after my Grandmother married they migrated to Australia so I am now trying to research the family.

Families with the Veazey surname are to be found in the same area in the 1881 and 1901 Census and still carrying on in the Chimney Sweep trade. As yet I have no proof that these later families are members of the same family but there would have to be a strong assumption that they would be connected given the occupation.

I have given brief details below of the families.

Family No 1
VEAZEY, Martha married William Parmenter 1850, St Luke (Islington area)London.
Father Samuel Veazey, Chimney Sweep
Witness's William & Mary Veazey

Mary 2 & Rosina 1.

VEAZEY, Alfred, 49, Chimney Sweep & Mary, 47 wife.

Family No 3

VEAZY,Elizabeth 62, Head
VEAZY, John, 32 Son, Chimney Cleaner
VEAZY, Mary his wife and children John 9, Eliz 7, Sam 5, Eliz 3 & Joseph 1.
1901 Census103 Boleyn Rd, Islington.
VEAZEY, John 54 Chimmney Sweep
VEAZEY, Mary wife & Children Eliz 23, Joseph 21, Alice 19 & William 11.

If the above families have any meaning to you could I ask that you drop me a line as I would like to start filling in the blank spaces in the hope of either proving or disproving the link.
Any assistance would be most helpful.
