The 1871 Census records him living a the premises with his wife, Margaret, son Samuel Beanland Stead [born 1855, Leeds] daughters, Florence Carr Stead [born 1858, Leeds], Elizabeth Stead [born 1861, Leeds], his younger sister Elizabeth Stead [born 1838, Otley] and Ellen Croysdale, a 23 year old Domestic Servant. Died in the first quarter of 1874.Porter’s Directory    1872 William SteadLicensing Register    12th February 1874 Margaret SteadThe Licensing Register records that Margaret was the widow of William.Born about 1831, Leeds, nee Beanland, her maiden name being used as the middle name of her first child.

There may be some confusion in the census as the 1871 census records Elizabeth Stead born in 1834 Otley yet the 1881 census records Elizabeth Beanland born in the same year and the same place. The error may be on the part of the Census Taker who compiled the record she from the census returns. The probability s the 1871 Census is incorrect and that the name Stead was transcribed incorrectly and that it was in fact Elzabeth Beanland the younger sister of Margaret.Kelly’s Directory    1881 Henry MortonKelly’s Directory    1886 Henry MortonKelly’s Directory    1888 Henry MortonThe 1891 Census records him living at 1 Butts Terrace, Armley with his son Henry [born 1825, Leeds] and his daughter Mary Louise [born 1866, Leeds], both being unmarried children from his first marriage.
