Find Ancestors

Haha, yes even I'm getting tired now - if I have chance tomorrow I'll pop into the library and have a further look on ancestry.com at the censuses.

I will search more tomorrow Lloyd,if nobody else comes up with anything,but I truly need to go for my beauty sleep now..

If you are in Britain you must work nights or be an insomniac !

Oh yes,you live Rugby way...

Thanks alot!

I have looked on Ancestry.com, but couldn't find them. Perhaps I'll have another (more thorough) look. The problem is, I only have William's name and his father's name, and I'm not sure when his father died (so it may only be William on the census, and 'William Young' isn't exactly a rare name).

1901 for Jessie ,so William shouldnt be too far away.

Hi all,

I've got Henry's birth certificate and confirmed that those are his parent. I also have his parent's marriage certificate.

I'm now trying to find more about William Young, who was listed on the 1911 census as 'born at sea' in around 1876 (give or take a year). I have his marriage certificate, and all I know is his father was called Thomas Young and he was deceased when they got married.

Many Thanks!
Lloyd

So now we look for William young 1876ish?

?

Thanks alot!

Yes, I'll definately confirm Henry's date of birth when I order his certificate before I put anything down on the family tree. I'll also have a look into William's birth at sea.

Lloyd

William and Jessie Shepherd would be my candidates as well,but PLEASE get Henry's birth certificate first!!

Just a note of caution on William's age on the 1911...it might not be 38. It's pretty smudged or written over. The first number is a 3,but I'm not positive about the last one.

Yes, from the information on the census they look like my great great grandparents.

It's intriguing about William Young being born at sea, do you have any ideas why? Possibly immigrants?

Thanks again!
Lloyd

William Young married Jessie Sarah Shepard 1901 J/A/S 1d 1565 in Camberwell Greater London Surrey .

Could these be yours?

Haha, I assure you Rugby is in Warwickshire - I've been living there for 18 years! Looks like Ancestry messed up a bit there. I did have a look on Ancestry.com last time I went to the library, but I must have only looked in Warwickshire.

That's him - thanks alot for all your time, it really has helped. You are a star!!!

Rugby in Warwickshire is it?????
I am rubbish at geog but you are as bad it would seem,or else Ancestry are !!

Ah, unfortunately we've got no living relatives to ask. All my mother can remember was that it was late 1970's. Could it be possible that it was recorded in a different district for some reason? Coventry maybe?

Death indexs go from 1837 to 2006,but you have to be with Ancestry to search them easily from about 1930 on.
Maybe he has been missed off for some reason when they were transcribing.

Ah, well it's definately Rugby. Not sure then, do the death indexes go up to the 1970's? It would be useful, as it would (hopefully) tie him in with the family that we've found.

Nope,hes not showing on the death indexs,well I cant find him,I was hoping to find him as it should have had his birth date on it.

Sorry, me getting too excited! Yes, he was married in 1933, not 1906. He died in Rugby, Warwickshire.

It has been transcribed as Mary but its not Mary on the image..
And I dont really think Mary would be a son !

But he couldnt have married in 1906 as that was about when he was born !!
I think you mean 1933........................;)

Where did he die?do youknow?
