I have an Obadiah HALSTEAD in a branch of my KILBY family tree.
He was born in Southminster, Essex on 22 December 1843, the son of Samuel HALSTEAD (Ag Lab) and Mary COLLIS (source: birth certificate).
He married Alithea Louisa LOWE on 16 June 1871 in Hoxton, Middlesex. She was the daughter of Alfred LOWE (Jeweller)(source: marriage certificate).
I have no trace of any children but from the UK census records of 1881, 1891 and 1901 the couple appear to have raised nephew William HALSTEAD and niece Helen Rose WOOD (1881-1946). Helen married my great-uncle Alfred KILBY in 1917. Her elder sister Louise Violet WOOD (1878-1913) had been Alfred's previous wife. The two WOOD sisters were the daughters of Eleanor LOWE (Alithea's sister) and Charles WOOD.
Obadiah HALSTEAD died in 1925 in Essex (source: General Register Office Index, not confirmed by seeing certificate) but is buried in Ladywell Cemetery in South London (as are some members of my family) (source: North West Kent FHS memorial transcriptions, posted on the web). Alithea HALSTEAD died in 1927 in Willesden (source also General Register Office Index) and is also buried in Ladywell Cemetery (source: North West Kent FHS memorial transcriptions).
I hope this is of interest.
