Do you have the 1861 census details at all as it looks like the same Mary to me.~in 1851 and 1871 so it doesn't look like he remarried abt 61 just asking where did you get that info? Zo

Hi Zoe, thanks for the offer. my mystery is William Wallis born 1843 in Portsea,he's on the 1851,1861 and 1901 census but not on 71,81 or 91. he had a son called Ambrose born 1872 in Clifton,Bristol and on the birth cert it states mothers name as Sarah Young. I can't find a marriage for William and Sarah and by 1881 Ambrose is back in Portsmouth living with one of Williams sisters,no sign of William or Sarah. i've searched for all different variation of the surname(walliss on birth cert and Wallace on 1901 census) William was a hawker/costermonger any ideas would be great thanks Karen

HI, I have come to a dead end with my Mariner/Denham line. The oldest information I have is my great grandfather Joseph Denham who married Margaret Mariner in Gateshead in 1900. They had 9 children that I know of, Mary,Jennie,Harry,Tom,Joe(joseph I assume),Jack,Ethel,Lily & Eleanor. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Jacqui H

If you have 1841 census can you look for Sarah FINCH c1840 Kent Thanks GLoria

So it isn't just me...... I'm currently awaiting a birth cert as we speak.......(not holding breath)

Hi Zoe Thanks for your offer. My Great Great Grandfather, George Embelton (born c1830) left England (possibly from Plymouth) and came to Australia, not sure when but was in Ballarat, Vic in 1854 as he was involved in the miners dispute (Eureka Stockade). The surname spelling may have been changed from Embleton and there is some family talk that it may have been Hamilton. His descendants resided in the Newcastle, NSW area. His ancestry is a real mystery. Regards........Lyne

hi zoe thanks for doing the look up for me sandgroper

Zoe - I need help. I am trying to find the surnames of TWO women as follows... Marriage ONE - Richard William NICHOLAS (born 1816) married a MARTHA ?????? about 1846 in the Calstock/Liskeard area of Cornwall.. (THIS young lady died and Richard William married a MARY ?????? about 1861 same area of Cornwall (Mary born 1819 died 1897.... It is the 'ABOUT' word which is the problem Zoe.. But any help, if possible, with the surnames would be a great help - if not, no problem, I know it is difficult trying to find thing when half the info is missing... Many thanks, take care......... John

Heidi Can't seem to see them have you got their marriage cert or even Myra's birth cert? Zoe

Zoe, Perhaps could you help me please? I've tried to find family in the 1881 census, failed, and then asked someone else to try on here and they couldn't either. This is what was on the 1901and should be on the 1881 Thomas W Day abt 1876 Poplar, Middlesex, England (son) Leyton Essex Esther Day abt 1853 Bethnal Green, Middlesex, England Wife Leyton Essex Myra E Day abt 1879 Poplar, Middlesex, England Daughter Leyton Essex Thomas W Day abt 1851 Bethnal Green, Middlesex, England Head Leyton Essex 'SHOWMAN and exhib' Leyton is now counted as London - Waltham Forest area. Thomas was apparantly a punch and judy man, so moved around a bit maybe ??? Please could you see if you could find them in 81 or 91? Thanks very much

Laura By the look of the 1901 census the children being stepchildren to the head means they were Fredk stepchildren meaning they are his wifes from a previous relationship. Have you found the marriage cert to Fredk if she was married she would have been married in that name.

Gloria You forgot to say what you wanted me to look for! Which census? Zoe

Kathleen Did you mother have any siblings, if so do you know their names. If so we can try and find their births.. Why are you thinking that her parents were married in 1911 and she was born in 1930.(is there a reason?) Maybe if your mother got married her marriage cert should give her fathers name..That may help, if you know when she was married I will help you find the marriage ref. Get back to me and I will do all I can to help Zoe

Julie Are you wanting to find him or trace back his roots I'm presuming you want to find him if this is the case ask on the tips board and I'm sure more experienced people than myself will advise you and help you out with what you seek. Good luck Hope you find what you need Zoe
