Please would anyone be able to help?
James is living with his Aunty Hannah and Uncle Ralph Taylor from the age of 6 in the 1901 census. He was born in 1886 in Spotland Further Side.Rochdale, Lancashire. How hard I try I can not find his parents names.
Hannah is nee Southwell which is in James's name but says nephew in the census.
Kind regards
Lesley
