Oh AG thankyou. Seems so obvious now!! Maybe she was known by her middle name hence they put that on the census.

That's great as that means I do have the correct marriage.

Ty for the death too.

Birth:

CROFORTH, SARAH GWENDOLINE mmn WORLEDGE
GRO Reference: 1916 S Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 425


Death:

ANDREW, SARAH GWENDOLINE 1916
GRO Reference: DOR Q4/2010 in EAST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE (5411D) Reg 1D011 Entry Number 503946690

I have found a marriage for Sarah G Croforth in 1937 to Edmond Norris Andrew and they had 6 children between 1940-1962.

Kath see on the census you showed the Croforths in 1921, well I have a problem with the last child.
Quindoline Croforth I cannot find in any records, ie no birth or marriage.

I looked on here and free BMD but no trace except when I type in births between Croforth and Worledge, a Sarah G Croforth comes up being born in 1916, the same year as given for Quindoline???

Any thoughts please?

Thankyou

It was Nameslessone who mentioned the children and Ancestry.
I can't take credit for that!

Thanks AG but I did try looking for the children. No its not the Worledge tree i'm doing but another tree for my friend that has a daughter marrying into the Worledge family.

I dont have Ancestry.

Yes that was Harry's birth, thankyou

Possible birth of Harry:

Births Dec 1891
WORLEDGE Henry Skirlaugh 9d 314

That one doesn't seem to come up on GRO, but part of Leven was in Skirlaugh reg district in 1895.

Or maybe -

WORLEDGE, HENRY -
GRO Reference: 1892 M Quarter in BEVERLEY Volume 09D Page 101

Leven was in Beverley reg district 1837-1937.

Hi Florence
If I can't find the parents I often look for the children, sometimes it is easier to spot them.
If you have Ancestry it is worth looking for that John spence tree.

I assume this is the tree that you mentioned on Chit chat.

Names

Names :-D :-D :-D

What a clever cookie you are, thankyou. Oh my what a spelling, no wonder I couldn't find it even with my thoughts on different spellings.

Woolwich?
Evorlege?

I guess many were unable to spell so they wrote it as they thought it sounded.

So now I have the complete family of...10 children.

That's the rest of my free time taken next 2 days writing and researching the whole branch etc and their families .

With Kath & yourself finding what I needed, my afternoon has somewhat brightened up.
Thanks again.

Ah fab thankyou Kath.
They all had such large families didnt they? This tree will take me forever!
So my theory was right that Emma & Robert Worledge, Annies parents had earlier children. Annie in 1872. But where are the family in 1871 & 1881?

Given that they married in1868 and Annie came in 1872, they may have been others in-between and also Jane was next in 1879 so a 7 year gap.

This info has been a great help, thankyou,

I am looking to ascertain the mother of Harry Worledge b 1892 Leven, Yorks.
In the 1901 census he is living with his grandparents

Emma Worledge(nee Flatman) b 1844
Robert Worledge b 1835/36

They have Jane b 1879 John b 1881 Martha b 1884 Ellen b 1882 Sarah b 1888
And Harry b 1892.

I have tried to locate them in censuses 1871.1881 but cant locate the family?
The marriage was in Depwade 1868

I'm thinking there were maybe other children born before 1879 and that maybe there is an older daughter who is Harry's mum?

I have tried using alternative spellings but nothing showing up.

Any assistance please.
