Find Ancestors

Hi Jane Thanks for that. All I have on the Snell's is Margaret Snell who was married to Matthew Davies. Her father's name on her marriage cert in 1842 is Charles and occupation is farmer. I then have a George Snell ( i'm assuming is her brother) in attendence on Mathew Davies death cert in 1856. All residences are Chester on all info i have but don't know where Charles would have been born or his wifes name... Hope this makes sense. Thanks for your help Julie

Could you try and look up on the 1901 census any relatives of my grand-father, Eugene Daniel Frances Wills. He was born in Liverpool in 1885. I know there was 1brother George J Wills born 1887 and I know of 1 sister Madeline, sorry I do not know any dates for her. Their father left them in the care of his brother or sister when they were quite young and went off to America after the death of his wife. Again I have no more info on names or dates. I know it sounds an impossible task, but would appreciate any help I can get. Jill

Mary, These are all the Mary Kings in 1901 census in Bristol: Mary King abt 1880 Pucklechurch, Gloucestershire, England Servant Bristol Gloucestershire Mary King abt 1886 Bristol Servant Bristol Gloucestershire Mary King abt 1873 Devizes; Bath Visitor Bristol Gloucestershire Mary A King abt 1880 Bristol; St Thomas Daughter Bristol Gloucestershire Mary Ann King abt 1888 Bristol Daughter Bristol Gloucestershire Mary Annie King abt 1872 Bristol, Gloucestershire, England Wife Bristol Gloucestershire Mary King abt 1889 Bedminster; Bristol Daughter Bristol Gloucestershire Mary A M King abt 1880 Bristol; Clifton Granddaughter Bristol Gloucestershire now i have removed all the ones that didn't apply already, wrong initials, were wives, etc. i would suggest that your John William is the oldest child as the parents married in June 1901, and John was born Sept. 1901, the only way forward for you is to see the marriage certificate of Mary Ann & William, to find out both of their fathers names, sorry but its going to cost you £7 before i can help you any more....... but get back to me when you have the names and i'll look again for you ... jane

Hi Jane, thank you for your time, I am looking for: William Dobson b) 1830-Great Clifton, Cumberland. May be married in 1851 to Elizabeth. William is a Butcher. In 1861 do you have John Greaves and Harriet. They had a daughter called Harriet Webster-Greaves b) Easingwold yorks c 1853. Lastly, do a George Fell and Christiana b)1811 Scotland, appear on English census's in 1861. Moved to Hunslet, Leeds 1849-1852. Hope i'm not asking to much. Kind regards Richard

Hi Jane, I realise you are answering questions tomorrow, can I pay you to find the marriage certificate or do I have to go down another route....many, many thanks for all your help, I'm sure we're on the right track....hopefully hear from you tomorrow. regards Mary

Hi Jane, thanks for the lookup offer. I am trying to locate a Charles Maynard in the 1851 Census for Sevenoaks Kent Married to a Martha , children Eliza, William, Thomas, Elizabeth and charles. They left to come to Australia in 1852. Or proof of marrige of Charles Maynard and Martha ?Lee probably around 1833. Hope you can help, thanks again

Jane, Thank you for the look up but What year were you looking at ie, which census? Your reply to my question about Annie Emberleen Tucker was 3/1/06 time 16.21.44 Plus which area would deal with Bermonsey, London? Also which address was it taken from/ Thank you again for looking, this link has been troubled for a lot of time can not get of the ground but thanks to you it may give me a glimmer of hope!!! Regards Justine

Hi Mary, have already found the reference for the marriage for you, see my thread to you saying Update.................. getting there. June 1901 Mary Ann King 6a 124 Bristol William Maggs 6a 124 Bristol. so all you need to do now is apply online at gro(.)gov(.) uk, remove brackets............. and fill in the form using above numbers as reference, 6a is area reference, 124 is page no. its dead easy !! let me know if you get stuck, but you shoud be ok !!! jane

Justine, sorry the census was 1901, ( which is what i thought you had asked for....) address was 15 Panlin (?) st, Bermondsey Have absolutely no idea which area Chiswick comes under, but did find the birth of an Annie Emeline Tucker in dec. 1881, in Lambeth, so thought Lambeth was a possibility. have since had a look for 1891 too, but nothing i'm afraid, there was only 1 about right age, in London, but father didn't match.. have also had a quick look at 1881, remembering that she might not have been born yet, but again, nothing with Chiswick at all, but obviously you are able to view 1881 on LDS, so if you find your William, send me the details back & i'll try searching again for him next time,

Richard, right, you didn't say what year you wanted for the Dobsons, so have done 1861, 1861. 15 Lother st, Great clifton Elizabeth Dobson abt 1831 Ormskirk, Lancashire, England Wife Great Clifton Cumberland Henery Dobson abt 1859 Great Clifton, Cumberland, England Son Great Clifton Cumberland Isaac Dobson abt 1851 Cockermouth, Cumberland, England Son Great Clifton Cumberland Marcy Ann Dobson abt 1855 Liverpool, Lancashire, England Daughter Great Clifton Cumberland Martha Dobson abt 1857 Great Clifton, Cumberland, England Daughter Great Clifton Cumberland William Dobson abt 1831 Workington, Cumberland, England Head Great Clifton Cumberland William Dobson abt 1853 Great Clifton, Cumberland, England Son Great Clifton Cumberland BUT, occ is coal miner not butcher !!??( did check 1881, and hes a butcher there, so have got the right family, phew !) do you have him in all other census? can see him in all but 1851, but don't think he's married then, can you confirm for me please? also, bad news on the other 2 families though i'm afraid , nothing in 1861.................

Hello Jane, Thank you for your kind offer. Could you please look up a family in Chard, Somerset for me please? James Moor Cook born 1811 in Chard. Harriet Cook (nee Chick) born c1816 in Winsham. Sarah Cook born 1841 in Chard. Clara Cook born 1843 in Chard Rosina Cook born 1848 in Chard. Thank you, Jennifer.

Hi Jane, If you could help, here is one on your doorstep! Trying to find info on my grandmother, Ruth Watson, born 1892 in Loughborough, and my great grandmother, Elizabeth A Watson, born 1868. Ruth being one of 6 children lived in Market Street, Loughborough. Any information at all regarding any of the above, their descendants or forebears would be greatly appreciated. I have come to a dead end as it appears neither my grandmother or great grandmother married!

Hi Jane Thank's for the offer can you Look up on the 1901 Census for a William Lambert Wardle bc1827? (manufacture )i think he may be in the Toxteth area of Liverpool Allen

Hi Jane, could you look on the 1851 for a george and mary ann barnes? They were living in Lambeth around this time, and were aged 35 and 33 approx. Both were born in Lambeth. By 1851 they had a son named Lemuel Barnes(this is spelt in various ways in later census records) he was born in 1843 so would have been 8 or 9 in 1851. Any info, addresses or occupations would be great. Thanks so much, Pete
