Find Ancestors

Hello, I do not have a trial for Find My Past. I think I used it last year, when I was looking to start this process...I did not have any idea where to start , so I wasted the find my past trial. Is there anyone who could tell me if that is the only way to research a census by address.
My William Edmonds 1836 was actually born in Moreton Wood, Shropshire.
William Edmonds 1874 was Congleton.

Thanks,
Deborah

Hi Deb,
Sorry-I got sidetracked yesterday. Meant to get back to the thread.

I'm with Chris all the way on the census findings. (although the 1891 is a hoot-BOA when they are ditto...)

I think your best bet would be to order William's birth and marriage certificates.

Just as an aside:
From the family search beta site:
Name William Edmonds
Gender Male
Event Type Marriage
Birth Date
Christening Date
Marriage Date 09 Jun 1872
Marriage Place Elworth, Cheshire, England
Father's Name Edward Edmonds
Principal's Residence , Elworth, Cheshire, England
Spouse's Name Ann Done
Spouse's Marital Status
Spouse's Residence , Elworth, Cheshire, England

It does look as though your William Edward was a twin:
Births Dec 1874
Edmonds Martha Congleton 8a 302
Edmonds William Edward Congleton 8a 302

Deaths Dec 1878
EDMONDS Martha 4 Congleton 8a 225

Maureen,
Glad to have you back. I thought you may have tired of me...
My father passed in 1997, he said there were twins in the family. Glad I finally have something concrete to see. Thanks so much.
In 1903,my William (1874) married Ellen Booth (1876.) This I know for CERTAIN. I thought his father was
William 1836 married Sarah Ecclestone in Shropshire, Drayton.
You know, I am getting so confused and now I am starting to doubt what I thought I had ...
I will order those documents now...it will be a start. Hope it does not take very long.
Deborah

Hi Deborah,
Not tired of you at all! (my sister-in-law is another matter.....grin)

The certs don't really take a long time to arrive (2 weeks should be about right)..they just seem like they do. And don't start attacking your postman.

Hang in there!

Best,
Maureen

OOps. I can't seem to find the birth of William and Martha on Cheshire BMD to order the certs....

Try FreeBMD and order from :

Maureen

Thanks, done, ordered...can't wait for it to arrive, I also ordered the marriage of my Grandparents.William and Ellen . That should give me a good start on clarification.
Now for the other side....perhaps you can help me out....Howarth family.
They were from Salford Lancashire area.I can't seem to find the name of wife of Peter Howarth 1853.
He married Sarah Ann Garner in 1888 and had Ethel 1890. However he had 5 other children Mary 1874/ Thomas 1875/ Elizabeth 1876/Samuel 1881/ my gr granddad) and Peter 1883 with someone else....can't find her name?
Thanks again for all you have done...
Deborah

Best guess on my part,but I can't see them in 1871.

Maureen

Good morning,
Thanks again Maureen....my Great Grandfather, Samuel Howarth 1881 is not listed in the family you have here, with Peter and Thurza on Census. The other family member birthdates are all quite close to the same, however, I am not sure we have a match.
I do believe his marriage may have been to Theresa Coates, and I have a death of Theresa Howarth....so that seems a match.
Puzzling about the census though.
Any ideas?
Deborah

Hi Deborah,
I can only guess that Samuel was born after the census-3 April 1881.

Maureen,
The fact that there was a child listed on the Census in 1881 named Peter 1 year old, was a sticking point. My grandfathers brother Peter was born in 1883. But I think they had a son Peter, he died in 1882 and they named another child Peter in 1883.
Looks that way to me, walks like duck....must be a duck. This looks like a family connection. Thanks very much....again

Quack! grin

Maureen

Maureen,
Could you send me a copy of the 1911 census for Peter(1852) and Sarah Ann Howarth at 112 Fairfield Droylsden...like the one you sent me last week for the Edmonds side of the family. I printed it out and it is great copy.
Thanks,
Deborah

Also, I wonder if any one out there can obtain a different copy of the 1881 census, peter Howarth and his first wife, Thurza are listed at bottom of page, no children but by 1881, they had 3 children....
Thanks,
Deborah

On its way.

Maureen

Also sent the next page of the 1881 census. Is that what you wanted???

Maureen

Yahoo!!! Yes that is what I wanted. You are a research angel...

LOL! Excuse me while I wander off to polish up my halo.....

Maureen

Maureen,
My dob is Thursday, and I am having a wonderful birthday week. You have given me the best gifts!!! Who you are and what you do for others is a gift. Thanks, I was serious about the kindness Angel.
To you, it may seem like just another day on the computer, but to those of us who are the recipients of your gifts, we think you are wonderful!!!!
Deborah
