I'm still searching ... but will pop back babe ... as I can see your quite busy ! Me ;-)

Sorry Sheila, I'll have to put you on hold for a bit. I have to do some ''real'' work.

My goodness Sheila. How on earth did all this happen? lol I'm getting more and more confused by the minute lol So, did Ellen go to Canada with William? Why did she change from Eliza? Was Jessie born there, or here lol I think I'll give up on trying to understand, and just look for Henry in 1891. Having said that, if his children change their names, what's to stop him doing the same lol

Hi Tracy Many thanks I did send for the 1903 marriage and it was not the right Douglas too old, perhaps he is the 1909 many thanks Maureen

Right, ok Sheila. Do you know where your Grandfather is in 1901?

Thanks for trying Tracey, I'm grateful. Lesley

Sheila, I'm now very confused lol. Start again, from the beginning, giving me everything you have so far.

Lesley, there's one in Chesterfield in 1868. Age is right, but not much else lol

I'd be so glad if you could solve my mystery death! John Henson was born in Keyworth Nottingham about 1809, married to Sarah from Wysall Nottingham. Sarah died March 1872, and was a widowon the 1871 census, so I know he died before then. He was alive in 1861, the census described him as a glove framework knitter. I sent for a death cert for a John Henson 1864, but it's the wrong one. I've searched all the indexes, and ancestry, but no luck. I'd be delighted if you could have more success than I have! Thanks Lesley

Hi Tracy Many thanks for your very quicky reply. I will check the details for Bailey Thomas Holmes was probably upto no good and was missed off the census Once again many thanks Shirley

Sheila, do you have them in 1901?

Shirley, maybe? Bailey, John abt 1837 Whitechapel, London, England Head St George the Martyr London Bailey, Isabella abt 1844 Walworth, London, England Wife St George the Martyr London Bailey, George abt 1877 Walworth, London, England Son St George the Martyr London Bailey, Agnes abt 1884 Walworth, London, England Daughter St George the Martyr London Can't see a suitable Thomas.

thanks tracey, will have a look at that, MOE!

Moe, I think this is out of my domain. I can't do births, if they're not on FreeBMD, before 1866. There is a Mary Nolan in Jun 1856, but the location of the registration is very difficult to read. I don't know if you've looked at the image, but you can do that on FreeBMD.

Sheila, it's not her. I was pointing to Frederick. Lily is his cousin.

Sorry Georgina, I don't think I can do that one. 1920 means possibly up to, but not after.

Jean, I went through all William Marsh's in 1851 to see if I could find a match between that and a Henry in 1861, but failed miserably. The only one that looked promising was this... William Marsh abt 1811 Bakewell, Derbyshire, England Barnsley Yorkshire but I couldn't find him in 1861.

Hi Tracy I have tried very unsuccessfully to find two b men on the 1891 census: on the 1881 Census JOHN BAYLEY born Holborn 1838/40 living with his family at 4 Pontypool Place Southwark, London, occupation Printers Labourer, then he and family disappear, he finally turns up on the 1901 census in Pentonville prison- occupation Compositor The other one is THOMAS HOLMES born Wiltshire 1855/56, can find him on the 1881 and 1901censuses living in Wandsworth, Surrey, his occupation I would think would be a labourer Any help would be very much appreciated Regards Shirley
