Thank you I will, I am so greatfull for all the help that you have all given, I don't think I would have got this far without any of you :-)

Pleasure to help you Amanda. It's great for us helpers when the poster stays around to find out what has been found and responds quickly as you have done.

When you get the certificates, if you require any more help on this family remember to add it to this thread to keep all the information together.

Good luck with your research.

Thank you I will do that soon as pay check clears, itching to find out more :-)

To find out the cause of death you would need to purchase the death certificate from GRO.

Oh my good lord he was only 15 when he passed away how tragic.
Thank you Rootgatherer, is there any way of finding out what the cause of death was?

Possible death for young William Henry on the 1911 Census?

She went on to marry Theodore Enwright and she appears married in the 1901 and 1911 census.

Thank you all you are fantastic <3

There are possible births for Ruth Long on freebmd but you would be better buying the marriage cert to find out her father's name and then trying to find her on the census. There is more than one of the same name born about the same time in the right area.
