Find Ancestors

OK. Thanks for your help.

Blast. That Edward Kitching, aged 10 earlier, died that same year, aged 10. So, not him.

Oh my brains fried. I'm getting absolutley nowhere.

david - just got back in - how dissapointing

i've posted a thread asking for someone more experienced to have a look

Thanks. I'm going to have to log off for a while.

Right i've read through this going to try and piece things together and see what i come up with

Tracey

thank you tracey

you helped with my hannah parkes, I hope this ones easier than that

I need to paraphrase this now as it's so drawn out.

Edward Richard Kitching married Rose Thornton on 9 Aug 1930, he was 26 she was 24

Edwards Father was also Edward a Cotton Importer, died in 1922 aged 51 (b approx 1871).

Edward Richard Kitching jnr died in Bristol 1983 aged 70 (b approx 1904).

Witness's were May Thornton & Bertram Crump

......his age at marriage matches his appros date of birth, there maybe the option that May was courting Bertram and therefore they were a couple.

I agree there is a good chance that Edward Kitching was probably born with either his mothers name, or an option not mentioned...maybe he wasn't 'English' born?

Could he have been born in Scotland/Ireland and came down to Manchester area for work? ...or indeed if his father travelled, he might have been born in India where the cotton trade was big business?

Has a birth been found for Bertram and maybe find him on the census? He could well have been a neighbour if not May's partner...or a work collegue

Tracey

Hi tracey

No we've not found a birth for bertram crump - i just had a quick look for a marriage as I though He may have married the other witness

This is most likely your Bertram

Births Jun 1907
CRUMP Bertram Birkenhead 8a 476

I never thought of the chance that he could have been born in scotland or indeed India.

bertram another one born outside of 1901 cencus

He's not scotland born (i've checked), but being born abroad is def an option...

We need to establish more on his father,,,,

david has order (today) the edward snr death certificate as he was 51 when he died i'm hoping his wife outlived him and that she was a witness

Did we establish what Edward Richard Kitching did for a trade?

Tracey

no it's never been mentioned

Edit: its thought he owned an engineering company

had to trawl back through thread.lol

GG, your hannah parkes..my mothers maiden name. Does she have a Manx connection?

ahhh ok, i'm looking at the migration reports, and altho most use them for finding people who emigrated.....not everyone emigrated!!!

So this means they show everyone who made a trip.... inc business trips. There is an Edward Kitching born 1905 shown as a manager making a trip to Canada....

Analysing the data now to see if it could be the Jnr guy!
