To repay the kidness I have had from people on this site I'm willing to do census and BMD look ups. I'm no expert so please give as much information as you can and I will do my best

Linda

Hi Linda
Thankyou for your kind offer.
Could you please look up a William (known as either Backsta/Backston or Masterman) sorry ! In 1861, 1871, onwards. I have him in 1851 with his mother Mary Masterman. He was born in c1846 in Newcastle.
Thankyou
Marie

Hi Marie 1861 71 turns up nothing for any of the names


from the 51 it looks more like Backstow to me , the last letter isn't the same as other N's on the page


unfortunately I can't read Mary's place of birth to search and see if he is with her

Linda,

If you think you can help, I am trying to find the death (date and place) of my great grandfather.

His name is William Sands, born 1859, Openshaw, Manchester.
I have him tracked on every census through to 1901 when he was living in Middlesbrough, N. Yorkshire as a widower after the death of ggrandmother Maria. He was living as a Boarder at 16 Olive Street.

I have had absolutley no luck, it seems as though he disappeared off the planet !!

Many thanks

Hi Linda A very kind offer desperate to find a William Cane born Bethnal Green 1867c 1891 cencus has him as a soldier in Pontefract Yorkshire. 1901 he is a postman in Swinton Sth Yorks in aug 1901 he married Berth Adams but was married before this as he has three children living with him in the 1901 cencu .

Hello Linda

I have a dealth for James Wilde 1839 Jan Feb Mar Ashton Under Lyne vol 20 page 63 by any chance does it give an Age......Thank you

He isn't with his mother later on...it is a bit of a mystery ! Thanks for trying.
Marie

John , as he was only in his 40's 0n 1901 he could have lived to a real old age, it would mean searching 30 years worth of deaths :(

Linda,

And I bet he did !! Just for spite.

Thanks anyway

Julie,

something doesn't add up here, is is on the 1891 as single, but according to the childrens births Rose E would have been born by then. There are no births of a Rose E Cane or Florence E Cane in Yorkshire around that time.There is a birth for

William Bertram Cane 1895 Jan-Feb-Mar Rotherham Derbyshire, South Yorkshire, Yorkshire - West Riding

might be the son

Hayley ages weren't on the records then only name area and volume, there are several James Wilds for that year in the same area, sorry can't be more help

Thank you any way Linda x

Hi Linda

Wonder if you could help, have been trying to trace Martha Elizabeth Cook, I have the birth certificate for her son which suggests shes not married. He was born Great Yarmouth 1884 Henry George Cook in a workhouse. What I do find puzzleing is that Henry George Cook' s Marriage certificate 1911 shows his father as being Richard Cook. Who I also can't find?

Regards

Jen

Hi Linda Its odd i know this is why i'm stuck William Betram was one of the children in the 1901 cencus. I think i need his birth cert.To see who is mother is . It is definatly hom in the 1901 cencus at Queen st Swinton. I have my Grandmothers birth cert William and Bertha are her Parents and the Adress is Queen st. I think Williams First wife may have been Annie Elizabeth Godfrey also from Bethnal Green . Thanks Julie

Jenelia, if he has no father on his birth cert he is more than likely illigitimate. It wasn't uncommon for people in "invent" fathers to save face in front of their partner. My nan decided to put her grandfather as her father (deceased of course) and she changed his occupation from a brick layer to a pianist!

Will have a look for Martha, but a bit difficult with no DOB or birth place

Thanks Linda for your time and effort, its very kind of you.

Like your nan's style, pianist!
