If so please PM me with your email addie. Kate :)

Your welcome Kirsty. Yours was quite an easy one. Having the Thompson middle name narrowed the search down a lot. If you do want the image just message me your email addie. Kate :)

Hi Kate, thank you for look up that looks like him addy on way to you regards June

In response to this request: I'm new to this so please bare with me. I'm asking if you can search for my grandfather Charles Whitham who lived in Thorpe Hesley nr Rotherham. Birth certificate of my father states he was born in 1908 so I think that would put grandad at approx 1870-1880, he was married to Annie nee Percival and was a colliery labourer. Registration was in North West Rotherham. Regards Margaret --------------------------------------------------------- Hi Margaret This is a possible for the 1891C.

There is a Florence Archer, age 1, listed as an adopted daughter on the image. Charles is listed as a Coal Miner so that seems hopeful. I think this is the same family in 1901C: Source information: RG13/4397 Registration district: Rotherham Sub-registration district: North West Rotherham ED, institution, or vessel: 24 Folio: 161 Page: 29 Household schedule number: 154 Annie Whittam abt 1868 Chapeltown Sheffield, Yorkshire, England Wife Rotherham Yorkshire Charles Whittam abt 1863 Walkley; Sheffield, Yorkshire, England Head Rotherham Yorkshire Colin William Whittam abt 1896 Rotherham, Yorkshire, England Son Rotherham Yorkshire Edith Annie Whittam abt 1900 Rotherham, Yorkshire, England Daughter Rotherham Yorkshire Eleanor Whittam abt 1899 Rotherham, Yorkshire, England Daughter Rotherham Yorkshire Emily Whittam abt 1898 Rotherham, Yorkshire, England Daughter Rotherham Yorkshire Florence Whittam abt 1890 Brightside, Yorkshire, England Daughter Rotherham Yorkshire Harry Whittam abt 1866 Sheffield, Yorkshire, England Boarder Rotherham Yorkshire Henry Arthur Whittam abt 1893 Thorpe Hesley; Rotherham, Yorkshire, England Son Rotherham Yorkshire Florence is now going by the name of Whittam (or Whitham). I can let you have the images if you message me your email address. Cheers Kate

Hi Kate, Can you find any information on Charles Carr born 1880? in Birmingham, and his wife Louise, I have her as being born in 1880? in Birmingham. Thanks Susan

I have been trying to find John Pratt on the 1901 census without any success. I have found him living with his parents aged 4 in the 1871 census in Wix Essex RG10/1681. In 1881 he is living with his sister at 252 Brockley rd Deptford london as a 14 year old baker's journeyman. His sister is Elizabeth Redman RG 11/0714 I think he is on the SS Lapwing in 1891 aged 23 as a steward. The age is right but he has his birthplace as Deptford London RG12/1402. I cannot find him in 1901. Be lovely if you could find him for me. Naila

Susan This is the only Charles Carr I can find in Birmingham of about the right age. There are two images, message me your email addie if you would like them. I can't look for his wife without her maiden name I'm afraid, although I did look for a marriage but with no joy. ;( Source information: RG11/3008 Registration district: Birmingham Sub-registration district: All Saints ED, institution, or vessel: 27 Folio: 25 Page: 44 And Source information: RG11/3008 Registration district: Birmingham Sub-registration district: All Saints ED, institution, or vessel: 27 Folio: 26 Page: 45 Charles Carr abt 1875 Bham, Warwickshire, England Son 147 Aberdeen St, Birmingham, Warwickshire, England Eliza Carr abt 1843 Kings Heath, Worcestershire, England Wife 147 Aberdeen St, Birmingham, Warwickshire, England Ernest Carr abt 1879 Bham, Warwickshire, England Son 147 Aberdeen St, Birmingham, Warwickshire, England Hannah Carr abt 1872 Bham, Warwickshire, England Daughter 147 Aberdeen St, Birmingham, Warwickshire, England James Carr abt 1844 Nth Oakmoor, Staffordshire, England Head 147 Aberdeen St, Birmingham, Warwickshire, England James Carr abt 1877 Bham, Warwickshire, England Son 147 Aberdeen St, Birmingham, Warwickshire, England John Carr abt 1870 Bham, Warwickshire, England Son 147 Aberdeen St, Birmingham, Warwickshire, England Minnie Carr abt 1864 Bham, Warwickshire, England Daughter 147 Aberdeen St, Birmingham, Warwickshire, England Willie Carr abt 1873 Bham, Warwickshire, England Son 147 Aberdeen St, Birmingham, Warwickshire, England I also found these birth GRO references: Name: Carr, Charles Record Type: Births Quarter: December Year: 1874 District: Birmingham (1837-1924) County: Warwickshire Volume: 6d Page: 249 Name: CARR, Charles Cephas Record Type: Births Quarter: September Year: 1875 District: Kings Norton County: Staffordshire Warwickshire Worcestershire Volume: 6c Page: 441 Name: Carr, Charles William Record Type: Births Quarter: March Year: 1873 District: Birmingham (1837-1924) County: Warwickshire Volume: 6d Page: 229 Hope at least some of this is useful. Kate :)

Naila Struggling as well on this one. I found a John Prat who is a baker/grocer but he is only 29 and it definitely says born in Stretford, Lancs on the image. He is married to Marie. Think I might be grasping at straws on that one. Sorry not to bring better news Kate :)

Pamela Did you mean 1884 for your Grandfathers birthdate. That seems an awful long time after the wedding? There are a lot of Greens in that area. Can you give me any other info to narrow down the search ie: do you have any other census details, addresses, occupations... anything might help. Off to bed now but I will check the thread tomorrow. TTFN Kate :)

Hi Pamela Sorry this took a while. This family are being a bit elusive. As you can imagine there are quite a lot of Greens out there. I have found a Robert Walter Green in 1891. The transcript gives his age as 49 but I think the image says 40. This puts his age about right to be G Grandfather. Sorry if you already have this.
