Hi that's right I am related to Nellie/Ellen Siddall . I got it wrong I thought that Nellie/Ellen was married to Allan ,but with your kind help found it was not correct . She married Eric Silson and emigrated to Canada. Thanks

I think Janette is related to Ellen Siddall Robinson, the adopted daughter, and assumed that she was Allan's wife (Ancestry flags the 1939 with Allan and his Nellie as a suggestion when you look at Nellie/Ellen on the 1911 census).

Janette was only interested in Allan because she thought he was her Nellie/Ellen's husband, in case he was related to John Theophilus.

" trying to find the parents of Allan Siddall born 1909 on 1939 census he was a fruiterer dealer own business .thanks janette"

But he's probably not related, and isn't even a son-in-law after all.

That's exactly what I was thinking, Ann. The poster assumed that the adopted daughter of John Siddall was the one who married Allan Siddall. So which one is she related to?

I am getting confused here

are we looking for

Nellie Siddall b1907 adopted daughter of John Siddall who married Eric Silson in 1930 and emigrated to Canada

OR

Nellie Wortley b1909 who married Alan Siddall in 1931

Thank you every one for your help

There were several hundreds of Siddalls in Yorkshire around that time, so there's no reason to think that Allan was related to John in any way (though of course he may have been) - particularly as they were not connected by marriage after all.

Allan's family was Rotherham/Sheffield-based, whereas John's was in the Leeds/Keighley area - quite a distance apart.

The Nellie who was adopted was age 3 in 1911 but your Nellie who is with Alan Sidall in 1939 was born November 1909 so would only have been 18 months old which is quite a difference

Eric must have returned to the UK after Ellen/Nelllie's death:

Eric Arthur Silson
in the England & Wales, Civil Registration Death Index, 1916-2007
Name: Eric Arthur Silson
Death Age: 85
Birth Date: 26 Jul 1904
Registration Date: Oct 1989
Registration district: Bournemouth
Inferred County: Dorset
Volume: 23
Page: 250

Then perhaps he's just commemorated on the gravestone in Canada.

Ellen/Nellie and Eric Arthur are still in Keighley in 1933:

Ellen Silson

But I don't see them in 1939, so they'd maybe emigrated by then.

Your Nellie's birth - she'll be the illegitimate daughter of Florence [Florena ] Edith Robinson who is with the Siddalls in 1911:

That's right.

We can't find any marriage for Nellie Siddall and Allan Siddall.

I think his wife is Nellie Wortley, who was born in the 4th quarter of 1909, which would match with the DOB of 11/11/1909 given in 1939.

See what you mean so Nellie might not be the same Nellie the Siddalls adopted daughter

Yes, but is his wife definitely your Nellie (the Siddalls' adopted daughter)?
