1911 dad david married 30 years a widow 5 children 3 died.

Sarah 1872 married George Ernest Wood in 1891
she died 1898
John C 1881 died 1910
Mary Ann died 1956
Catherine/Kitty 1878 married Harry Moon she is on 1911 census in Sculcoate Yorkshire.

So that leaves one death missing which looks like David 1876-1906!

As he named his father as NOK................he was either unmarried......or widowed.

No sign anywhere of a marriage......so I suspect the former would apply

Sheila Report 24 May 2013 14:37

Yes I do think I have the right army papers I only found them to day.

It says his next of kin is David Weatherhead of 12 Foster Street South Shields.

I will have to go back and re read them to look for dates

That 1911 is the one posted for 1891 'in detention'

'Your' David was at home in 1891.............as posted above

You now refer to Army papers...what were his dates of service?

And - sorry to ask - but are you sure the Army papers relate to the right David? Who do they name as his Next of Kin?

1911

NO wonder I cant find him,this one is in SOUTHAMPTON in a ship yard doing the same kind work in the 1901..his birth place is different but I wondered if it could be him.

My searching is rubbish.......any chance of a few lessons for this useless woman

Sorry Reggie, Maddie, and Kath you are right it was the 1901 census not the 1891.

You do have the right David Weatherhead that I am searching for.

So Maddie if this one is mine he must have been a naughty boy...I have his Army Papers from find my past and it says his conduct while serving was BAD...so this could well be him
Will I find this on Findmypast...I dont have a sub for Ancestry.

And thank you for all the help that you are all giving me.
