HOUSEHOLD LAND SARAH F 1870 41 Bradford Yorkshire West Riding



EDIT

Second thoughts - that looks a completely different family.

As far as im aware she was,my father never mention a second marriage

someone in the family did mention a family member mary,so maybe it is correct ?
many thanks everyone for helping me x

But it doesn't add up......

If Isabelle died in 1900 & your G/ father was born on 1901
also Rootgatherer has posted a death for William that has his birth in 1902

Brian - don't go away please!

Do you have Edward's birth certificate? If not then that is your first step.

When did Joseph John die please?

Have you found the boys on any 1901 census records please?

Ive tried looking before for these family members and can never match anything so i thought i would ask the experts ! on here.

This looks like the marriage for that couple on the 1911 census

Perhaps someone with a sub. will look at the full entry - I am only using the free search facility.

I really don't think that they are the correct family though.

Where did you get Joseph John's name from if you don't have your grandfather's birth entry please?

No i dont have his birth certificate,
All i no is that joseph john died while in the army in india.
The details are what i found,like you did.

Im struggling to find anything

Where have you Isabelles maiden name from cos i can't see a marriage

from what my dad can remember,with isabella maiden name.
also the same with joseph from my dad ?

Brian

The only way forward, or in this case backwards, is to splash out and order that birth certificate! Then you can stand back and watch the brick wall crumble!!

While it is good to gather information from our parents and grandparents, it best just to treat it as a starting point. In most cases our grandparents wouldn't have known if either of both their parents had been married twice.

It you want you family tree to be accurate, order the certificate please.

When you get the certificate come back to this thread and we will try to help.
