I didn't do the hard work Dea did....

Remember some of the family were born Cheshire, Yorkshire and Lancashire.... I suppose living on a boarder has that effect!!

As William was 17 in 1901, he would have been born roughly 1884.

This is a possible marriage?

BESWICK Annie Runcorn 8a 283


Births Mar 1884

ok shall do, thanks everyone

WayneTracey

WayneTracey Report 21 Aug 2008 15:50

Yes

Order the birth cert, then look for a subsequent marriage for a lady with the right name!

Tracey

leesle Report 21 Aug 2008 15:46

ah yes thats possible too isnt it, is there a way I can find that out, I cant see one

WayneTracey

WayneTracey Report 21 Aug 2008 15:43

.....or her mother remarried and she's listed under the new married name?

Tracey

leesle

leesle Report 21 Aug 2008 15:38

maybe she was brought up in the workhouse in warrington

leesle

leesle Report 21 Aug 2008 15:35

that could be it, the only birth cert for me to order is the yorkshire one, and see if her father is John, there doesnt seem to be any others

WayneTracey

WayneTracey Report 21 Aug 2008 15:33

You might have a problem if this is her father...

Deaths Mar 1898
Berrisford John 40 Salford 8d 70

This John never made the 1901 census.... you will need to order the birth cert to see her mothers name.

WayneTracey

WayneTracey Report 21 Aug 2008 15:12

They were either not here or mistranscribed...
