Can anyone who has access to Ancestry tell me the actual address where Albert T Cheshire was living during the 1911 census. It will have been Leamington Spa but it may be down as Warwickshire.

I would also like to discover the address during the 1939 survey and any other information which is recorded.. He will have been married to Margery (nee Holyoak) but are there any children listed. Any lodgers?

Many thanks,
Ian Crichton

Not seeing a result on the 1939 Register from FMP - but he would have been of an age to be in WW2 so wouldn't have been recorded.

If he was in the Forces, you can apply for his records (not online post 1920 service)

You can search for possible marriages yourself on the freebmd site
https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

Surname First name(s) Spouse District Vol Page
Marriages Dec 1933 (>99%)
Cheshire Albert T Holyoak Warwick 6d 1971
Holyoak Margery H Cheshire Warwick 6d 1971


and for possible children through the same site - There doesn't appear to be any born England / Wales unless Marjory had been married before in which case you would need to know her birth surname

Thanks spot on.,

That's true but I wouldn't have imagined that a married man of 32 years would have been conscripted that early. Could he have been listed as Bert or even Thomas Cheshire. Could you please try Margery Cheshire (christian name could be spelled differently). She should be recorded as they married in 1933

FMP version - they have his initial right, but have made the proverbial pig's ear of the surname. Found by inputting address from earlier posts by other helpers. He's a no show even inputting surname variants and birth year +/- 2
