Find Ancestors

Hi Michelle. This is more like the Berlin Wall to me. i cant find my greatgrandparents on either the 1881 or 1901 census, his name was Samuel Joseph Williams born abt 1857 Leedstown Cornwall her name was Maria James born abt 1858 Breage Cornwall. Sam was a miner no occupation for Maria, the 1891 and 1911 census they are living in Millom Cumberland with children . Edith J born in 1881. sam and maria married in 1880 Bootle Cumberland vol 10 b page 904 (Millom?) i was sent the wrong marriage cert so have to send it back to find where they were actually living at the time. some of their other children from the1911 census are james abt1887 John 1889 mary1883 Edith J 1881 samuel1882. Thank You. Regards Maurice.

Hi Michelle, have now got back from our hols and noticed you have started at new job at work, hope it all goes well for you.

Have you had any luck with my gt grandmother with her 2 surnames, McCannah or Goulston. I have searched under both surnames as well as her father's names with no luck.

With kind regards

Jill

Hi Michelle,
Re Witten Family
Don't want to hastle you but just wondered if you'd had time to take a look.

hi Michelle

Can you check out for Thomas McSorley, my great gandfather, on the 1871 census. He was born on 14th June 1862 in Bolton and died on 20th August 1901 in Wigan.

On the 1881 record he's living with his aunt [married name Baxendon] and his siter in Wigan, the name is spelt McSirley.

Regarding the 1871 record he may be in Bolton or Wigan. His father died in 1871 and his mother was already dead so he may have moved to Wigan where most of his relations were living.

His siblings were, Hugh c:1853, Joseph c: 1849 - 1902, Mary c: 1859 - 1925, and James c: 1867.

His Aunts and Uncles were Ellen c:1833 [married Baxendale/Baxendon], Henry c:1838, Mary c:1833 [recorded living in workhouse after her parents died]

sorry it's so long winded

thanks dave

If Edith Ellen was born in 1882 she would not have been on the 1881 census.Frances is not on the 1891 census Edith is listed on so they would not appear together.I have looked at the 1881 and there is a daughter Emma listed born 1868 in Banstead Surrey.This looked like a poss for her birth record

I wouldn't take too much notice of the spelling of his name.It maybe poss that he decided himself when he got older to change the u to a w?

Might be worth getting this birth cert to see who his father was...this would be a way to cross him either off the list or confirm you have the right person...well worth the cost of the cert!

I will continue looking.
