Hi Lily,

If you want to find the image for 1901 on GR. Search for Grace Calvert born 1882 Liverpool, she is living next door to your family and she appears to come up on a search.

GR isn't very flexible for searching, your family are probably mistranscribed.

On Ancestry you can search using just Christian names or Maw* for instance wheras you have to put a full surname on GR.

Christine

Christine thank you for taking the time to do that look up .yes i am a bit dissapointed with G.R.I cannot get the 1911 cencus for my family and that was the reason i subscribed.I was with Ancestry last year and fourtunatly
i kept loads of stuff i printed off and its come in handy, its just a matter of
going through it all. But its kind people like your self and Catherine that have helped me with look ups.its very frustrating that i cant get it myself and have to go the long way around it to get any information.
Thank you for your help though i really appreciete it.

Hello Catherine,you are naughty I thought you were logging off.!But this Ancestry thing is very addictive isnt it.I will keep all that info you found about Christopher it sounds promising,though i can`t` be sure at the moment.It is an unusual name back then ,Christopher, not many around
he could be a cousin ..I can`t thank you enough for all your hard work.You should be an heir hunter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Hi Lily,
I'd love to be an Heir Hunter, I watch that programme every morning and try to do some look ups of my own at the same time. I love it!

Lily,
To get a better insight into how your family looks, could you tell me who your Nan and Grandad actually were please.

hi Catherine,I have been odering some certificates.and went back to look up some of your dates to confirm. when i found your new post. I have ordered Roberts birth cert as you have confirmed what i found out last year but was unsure .and Margarets birth .I also wanted to get there deaths but i`d be taking a gamble on that . my Nans name was Elizabeth Thomas she married my grand father in 1931 he was John joseph mawdsley . he was born in 1893 and nan in 1899 .

You will find Robert on GR in 1911 as Robt. Mawdsley born 1850.

You won't get the image for 1911 though as GR don't have them, only the transcription and an image of the enumerators book for the Street.

Another reason why it's better to use the official 1911 site or Findmypast.

Christine

What a swizzz.I have ordered the cert s,4 of them the 2 from lancs cost me £24 for some reason ,I shall expect next day deliver for that!!!!!!!!!!!! I`ve ordered births for Robert and Margaret .Marriage for George and Elizabeth
Moss and her death cert .I and thanks for you detective work i know her name.and when they married .Iv `ve got a feeling she might be the one that had the accident with her being so young .

I`ll Know next time Christine thank you for looking .it`s not the same as a cencus though is it!..........

Lily,
Do you have John Joseph Mawdsley and Elizabeth Thomas marriage cert. to confirm that his father was indeed Robert?

Gosh Lily, I hope your certs didn't cost £24 each. I knew that the price had gone up but that's a bit much!!!!! : -(

Robert is living Reg.Dist. West Derby in 1911 census so, unless they moved his death should be registered there. The following are deaths for Robert Mawdsley in this reg.dist. :-

Robert Mawdsley 1925 West Derby Lancashire
Age at death (estimated): 70 - (1855)

Robert Mawdsley 1931 West Derby Lancashire
Age at death (estimated): 67 - (1864)

Robert Mawdsley 1921 West Derby Lancashire
Age at death (estimated): 62 - (1859)

Robert Mawdsley 1932 West Derby Lancashire
Age at death (estimated): 47 - (1885)

Robert Mawdsley 1933 West Derby Lancashire
Age at death (estimated): 0 - (1933)

when you work out the date of births the only one that really fits is the first one which would make date of birth as (1855), so that one looks to be the best contender.

.....same for Margaret:-

Margaret Mawdsley 1928 West Derby Lancashire
Age at death (estimated): 71 - (1857)

Margaret Mawdsley 1923 West Derby Lancashire
Age at death (estimated): 76 - (1847)

Margaret Mawdsley 1933 West Derby Lancashire
Age at death (estimated): 17 -(1915)

.....here again the first one seems to be the most likely, but you'll never know unless you buy the cert. ?

Where did you order the certs from?

They are £9.25 from GRO.

The census images for 1911 from the other sites are the individual households filled in by the occupier.

Christine

yes i have ordered Margaret aged 71 and robert aged 70 both from west derby.from G.R.O.and george and his wife from lancashire.marriage and
Elizabeths death.they cost me £24 it must be next day delivery...........
And to answer your question yes Robert was on Josephs marriage cert
but he was deceased.
