So the mystery deepens. His birth certificate arrived today. born 30th April 1905 , East Brightside, Sheffield. Father Abraham Ackroyd, Mother Sarah Ann Ackroyd, nee Shepherd address 7 Court Newman Rd, Sheffield. So where is he in 1911?

This is a mystery. I am hoping his birth certificate may have more information.

They also had Rhoda 1901 and Doris 1908. Wonder if Rhoda has been wrongly recorded as being a boy in 1901?
This seems to be the 11 children all accounted for, no Charles though.

yes it seems that attercliffe and Carbrook are in the same area. So same address, that's good.

SylviaInCanada

SylviaInCanada Report 14 Jan 2014 06:56

but the street address was still the same?

I don't know Sheffield at all ...................... so maybe you need to check out whether the two areas (the one on the certificate and the one on the 1911) are in fact different names for the same area

Jo

Jo Report 14 Jan 2014 05:37

just had another look at the marriage certificate an the address is carbrook, not eastbrook

SylviaInCanada

SylviaInCanada Report 14 Jan 2014 05:30

well,

I couldn't find any listed as "Grandson", "Inmate", etc etc, under Charles (+/- Edward) Ackroyd

that's why I tried looking for Charles Edward without a surname, in case it had been copied down wrong.

But nothing seemed to fit!!

Jo

Jo Report 14 Jan 2014 04:29

Yes I know, very strange, had' found 6 charles around that age in 1911 Census but none seemed to fit , will have to start looking at grandparents or staying with aunties perhaps?

SylviaInCanada

SylviaInCanada Report 14 Jan 2014 03:50

I just cannot find a Charles Edward who might be associated with an Abraham, and staying elsewhere


for the information of other helpers .............................

I've looked under Ackroyd

I've looked under C E Ackroyd

I've looked under c e a ........ in case he was in hospital

I've also tried Charles Edward (without surname) ............ but there's lots of those


I used birth years 1904-1906, and born in Sheffield as the criteria.

Jo ...............


do resist the temptation to tick as answered ANY posts on any of your threads in future!

It shows that the question posed in your opening post has been answered ......... and it very clearly has not. Yet, people will no longer open the thread to see if they can help!


Unfortunately, a glitch that GR is trying to fix, means that you cannot untick, so you are stuck with it on this thread!

oops .........

I think Abraham is not a name mentioned for his father in earlier posts :-)

Thank you to all those replied. Thank you Cynthia for the how to sheet, I have never been on any message board before. I have requested his birth ,marriage and deaths certificates as suggested, just waiting on post. I also discovered the two Charles born in same period. Believe I am looking for the Sheffield born one but will see. To patchem what a wonderful site. I wish it was my Charles but no. Thanks for the 1911 Census info I'll look into all that.

There most definitely is more than one Charles Edward Ackroyd.


I think the best course of action would be to buy his MARRIAGE certificate, to get the name of his father, otherwise you are likely to be led astray.

Marriages Mar 1931 (>99%)

Ackroyd Charles E Machon Burnley 8e 336
Machon Frances E Ackroyd Burnley 8e 336


It will cost £9.25 from General Records Office (GRO)
http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/

Never pay any more than that amount



Another line of search might be to see if you can find an obituary for him in a local newspaper ........ such obituaries are often a mine if information.
