Hi I am looking for the following 'Pole 'family they for most of the time lived in Thurmaston, but at some point John H Pole b1868 went to Nova Scotia and married Johanna b1865, whilst there their first child was born Thomas b1894, they then must have come to Thurmaston ( where John H was born ) and had three more children Ernest b1896,Leonard b1898 and Eliza b1900

hi kath have you tried looking on www.familysearch.org or ancestry.com sj ps where did mary allen die what county ??

Hi Elaine and Mike Thanks for your replies. George has proven to be VERY tricky!!!! I have tried to trace his nephew back. I have found a William Fauks on the 1861 census: Name: William Fauks Age: 7 Estimated birth year: abt 1854 Relation: Son Father's name: George Mother's name: Ann Gender: Male Where born: Hickling, Nottinghamshire, England Civil parish: Hickling County/Island: Nottinghamshire Country: England Household Members: Name Age Ann Fauks 38 Elizabeth Fauks 11 Thomas Fauks 7 William Fauks 7 Ann Faulks 1 George Faulks 38 George Faulks 4 However, this does not link with his birth in Cumberland as on the 1871 census when he is living with George!!!! The only thing I have found is that sometimes the name Whitehead is mis-spelt to Whitchead, but still not been able to trace any further back. I am very reliant on the net as I live in Vancouver, so I am not able to go to parish registry's myself. Are there any other websites you could recommend??? Thanks again Gemma.

Hi Elaine Yes that is the correct entry. The William Fawkes entry I found on the 1861 census is just a guess, I could not find him anywhere else on that census and thought that could possibly be him??? Let me know what you think? Thanks Gemma.

thanks mike now just need to find mary clarkes husbands death as she was a widow in 1901 thanks again

***F.A.O. Sarah *** Looks like there could well be a split in the marriage or John has gone in search of work ? 1891. Census returns Mary is with Selina in Bradgate Street Leicester. John is Lodging in Loddington Northamptonshire So it might prove difficult to tract his death down. MIKE.

Hi Gemma Have come to the conclusion he's with George 1861 !!! Was hoping that would make you smile, well there are 38 William Fawkes and not one born in Nottingham. I guess it will be a case of looking at variations of the name and a quick look at freebmd for Nottingham only has one marraige in Nottingham for a William Fawkes 1900 ( I put a search in from 1871). Sorry I couldn't help anymore at the moment Elaine

hi mike can you let me have info on mary and selina in 1891 i have the info on john in 1891 thanks sj
