Hi Zoe, Henry only shows up on two of the Census 1891 and 1901 both show his birthplace as Lincolnshire. I may have found Henrys death record 1918 reg. District Kings Norton. This is the reg. District for Smethwick! The only problem is that it shows his age as 75 instead of 69-70. Do you think it’s worthwhile ordering the certificate? Still no luck connecting Nellie Bullard/Sullivan to James Knott Regards Malcolm

Claire Had a hard long look at this, and it seems you have the correct one in 1841 and following, due to the 1901 census where Sarah is with Ellen's son and she is named Aunt would lead me to believe she is Ellens Sister Sarah Hadfield/Hatfied Kennedy. Now according to the 1st census she appears in she is age 6 making her birthyear 1835 no birth certs available for this time *parish records* So according to the IGI details for Ellen she was christened 19 JUL 1835 Eccles, Lancashire, England Sarah was Christened Christening: 24 MAR 1833 Cathedral, Manchester, Lancashire, England Ok There is also a Mary in the 1841 census details for her christening Mary Kenedy Female -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Event(s): Birth: Pendleton Christening: 26 APR 1834 Eccles, Lancashire, England -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Parents: Father: Thomas Kenedy Mother: Betsey Kenedy **is another name for Elizabeth** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And Cavvanah S Kennedy maybe Sarahs daughter **only guessing** but if she was born in London that place the family around that area Don't know why we can't find them in 1851 and 1861 we know inbetween that time Ellens mother Elizabeth remarried a Mr Singleton **I think,,LOL** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Now Mary Hadfield b1805 Eccles**I think this might be Elizabeths sister**** She is in the 1871 census living on her own on the road next to Ballon road cant work out what it says its 7 something buildings she is a Seamstress In 1861 She is yet again on her own but down on census as Mary Hatfield same address looks like 7 Chantlers buildings canot work out occ. This one has got my brain really going mad WHERE ARE THEY will search through Pendleton district around where they were in 1871 and see if I find them bit slow at mo will do later Zoe

Elaine Where have you looked for his death? Do you roughly know when he died or just it was after 1901? What was his occupation on your grandmothers marriage cert and did it say deceased? When was she married? Was his occupation something that may have taken him away from home?

Hello, i am looking for information on my g grandma Nellie Marvin 1880c and her mother Mary Marvin 1862c. I would like to know if Nellie was born out of wedlock or not, I know that Mary married Allen Havery late 1881 and had 2 sons, but unsure if she was married before or if Marvin is her maiden name. My g grandma Nellie had my grandma Gertrude Marvin 1900, I would like to know if she later married, my father remembers a uncle from his mums side staying for awhile and his name was John/Tom Cousins. All of the above or from Nottingham apart from Allen Harvey (Leicester) and mainly around the Bulwell and Basford area. Any information would be greatly appriecated, many thanks Emma

Thank you so much Zoe for the 1881 census of ALL the family! and the later one showing Alice in a Workhouse! Don't think I would ever have found it, tried all variations of spelling but didn't think to sustitute the F for a T. Perhaps now I can make some progress. Your help is greatly appreciated. Jean x.

John Report 26 Mar 2006 16:59

Hello Zoe, Can you please find the whereabouts of John Simeon (or Simeon John)Harris in the 1891 census most likely Staffs or Worcs. I know that he existed at that time as I have him in 1871 (4 years old) at home in Gosty Hill, Rowley Regis Staffs, and in 1881 (aged 14) again at home this time shown as Coombs Lane, Rowley Regis. His parents died in 1885/6 and therefore don't appear in 1891, so I have no idea where or with whom he might be living. I know he was alive at that time, as I have his Marriage Cert. dated 1896 and in the 1901 census Oldbury, Worcs with his new family. So where was he in 1891? I don't imagine that he traveled outside Worcs or Staffs, but no-one has yet been able to find him. in those counties. His birth place was shown as Cradley, Worcs and date 1866. Be interested to hear if you can solve this for me Regards John
