Find Ancestors

Jane, Please will you look to see if you can find the parents of James Poulton born around 1865 in Birmingham. He married Alice Flude in 1891 in Aston Birmingham and they had 6 children the first born around 1892. Any census info would be great. Thanks Alison

Hi Chris had a look at 1841 for you, i would put money on it says Dugton ! but there is no Elizabeth or Sarah Pullen with them, and they are not even on the same page , anywhere !! hope it helps Jane

Hiya Jane, Thanks heaps for the lookups!!! :~} FANTASTIC!!! You managed to find Hester Swansbury!!! On Esther TOSE... I guess I should have mentioned that TOSE was her maiden name - I'm hoping to find her with her family in the 1841 census as she married in 1850. I'd really appreciate your continued assistance with her!! :~} Thanks again Liz xx

Hi Jane Thanks for the offer of a look up. Please could you look up on the 1901 cencus Queen Dart, Witheridge, Devon, who was living there at the time. Many thanks Clare

hi wonder if you can help on a look up for me John BROWN b:13 feb 1881 @ st John, Westminster.London i thought being born so early in year he might of been in 1881 but it appears not or i am looking wrong ? it does seem as though he appears on 1891 but i do not yet have a subscribtion to view files so i cant be sure any info would be gratefully recieved Thanks Tony

Hi again. You could be right. I have looked on free BMD and there are lots of Cliffords of Richmond who died before the 1851 census but not Dugton! Could I ask a big favour. Could you look on the 1841 census and check if the name really does say Dugton. Its the Clifford family of Worple Way Parish Gate Richmond Surrey.Also, please can you tell if Elizabeth and Sarah Pullen were definitely at the same address i.e staying with them at the time. Thank you again Chris

Hi Thanks for trying to find the Clifford family (on your thread 4.) I don't think they would all have died but I will try to check it out. Thanks again Chris

Hi Jane, Please could you look up a Matthias Mecklenburgh on 1861 census? Probably in Dovercourt, Essex. He should be living with a Sarah Mecklenburgh born 1842. Many Thanks, Hannah

Hello Jane. Thanks for the offer. I would like help with the 1871 census. Looking for James Owen born abt 1822 Bolton he was a Stonemason, his wife Isabella born abt 1834 Clapham Yorkshire, children Elizabeth & Richard Albert born abt 1867 & 1868 Carnforth Lancs. On the 1881 Isabella was a widow also mis transcribed as OLIVER. Can you find them please another son born July quarter in Carnforth. Thankyou Polly

Hi Iggy, tricky with a name like Brown, lol but think this is 1861: High st Harriet Brown abt 1830 Burton on Treet, Staffordshire, England Wife Sedgley Staffordshire Harriott A Brown abt 1860 Sedgley, Staffordshire, England Daughter Sedgley Staffordshire James Brown abt 1833 Grayton, Staffordshire, England Head Sedgley Staffordshire BLACKSMITH John Brown abt 1858 Sedgley, Staffordshire, England Son Sedgley Staffordshire Joseph Nicklin abt 1841 Bilston, Staffordshire, England Lodger Sedgley Staffordshire Marriages Sep 1855 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brown James Wolstanton 6b 160 Sproston Harriet Wolstanton 6b 160 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marriages Sep 1857 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brown James W. Bromwich 6b 764 Green Harriet W Bromwich 6b 764 if put on the spot and had to choose which couple is yours, i would say the 1857 marriage as there is a James & Harriet Brown in 1861 living in Wolstanton, which is district for 1st marriage, also 1857 is only 1 year before their 1st child born, which is quite usual !! but i'm only guessing, lol !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hope it helps Jane
