Linda Thank you so much for your help. i will look at those and keep trying. i know experience will help and the more i do the better i will get, but it is fantastic to have people like you willing to help. Thanks again Kay XXX

Hi Joan am sorry I can't read it either, those crosses wipe it out. even magnified it to 200 Linda

your welcome Sue, having an unusal name normally creates more trouble than you think. Linda x

Ah well !! I am trying to find My Charles Joshua Hoyle on any census, he was born in 1872 (29 when he married in Dec 1901 in Thorparch, Yorkshire) he was a bachelor. I cannot find his birth for sure or him on any census anywhere. His occupation was a publican in 1901 but he was also a silk mill hand in 1903. Father's first name is blank on the marriage cert except 'deceased Hoyle!' If you have time to have a look to see if you can find him, that would be great . Thanks Joan

Hello Linda, thanks for offer of help. I'd be very grateful if you could find the following for me - on the 1851 census WILLIAM SIBON born suffolk c.1829 parents are William and Martha on the 1901 census LOUISA SIBBONS born West Ham c 1882 parents William and Ann. Thanks

Thanks Linda thats a great help. Did it say any occupations? I suppose they were labourers!!

father and son both Ag labs :) unable to find Louisa on 1901 but this might be her marriage later Name: Louisa Sibbons Year of Registration: 1904 Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun District: West Ham County: Essex, Greater London Volume: 4a Page: 285

Thanks again for looking at occupations for me - why am I not surprised that they're labourers?!! Hope you don't mind me asking but did you have any luck with Louisa Sibbons on the 1901?

So sorry Linda - didn't scroll down enough to read your reply about Louisa!! Thanks for all the help.

Hi Linda I'm confused!!! How do i link Ellen Mcguinness to her family by looking at the Census. Do i have to order the Marriage or Birth Cert??? There seems to be 2 Mcguinness families on the Census and are probably related but i do not know how to make the connection to Ellen Born 1909 or1910. Not sure which my Ellen is??? OMG my head is swimming!!! Not sure i am even making sense!!! Help????? Kay xxx Found a marriage though. Ellen Mcguinness m Danial McDonald june 1931 South shields. Not a complete waste of time eh kay xxx

Hi Kay, if you order the marriage cert it will should hopefully give you Fathers name and occupation. From that you can start looking for their families on the census, last one is 1901 that way you will be able to find which families are yours. does that make sense? Linda x had a look at 1901 census McGuiness in south shields there are 2 head of household one calkled bernard other Thomas, so if Ellen's father on marriage cert is called Thoms you know which family are yours

Thank you Linda Both the heads of family in my Census search are different: Francis b1861 France b1865 Oh god i'm gonna have a cuppa and have a rest for a bit. Thank you Linda for all your help. I will get the hang of it eventually. Bye for now xxx
