Thanks Jess it looks like James and Ellen and wife Mary had died by 1881 but the rest fit and I agree it looks like the surnames had been mistranscribed in 1871 and as you say goes to pot in 1861 it looks like a trip to the Islington records office for futher digging thanks again John

Hi Jess Could you please look for a marriage between William Ketteringham born 1861c Middleton Norfolk( son of Thomas and Alice Ketteringham) and Emma Yeats born 1867c Wildmore Fen Lincolnshire, their first child Alice was born in 1891. So the marriage may be around then. Many Thanks Kirsty x

Kirsy have searched 5 years either side and cant find him marrying that name sorry. is mothers maiden name from her birth cert? jess

Rosalie. marjories birth - send for this cert to see fathers name, remembering she was a widow in 1901! Hunt, Margery Rose Record Type: Births Quarter: March Year: 1902 District: Thingoe County: Suffolk Volume: 4a Page: 926 (click to see others on page the 1909 marriage HUNT, Florence Annie 1909 June Marriages Bury St Edmunds Suffolk PETTITT, Ernest 1909 June Marriages Bury St Edmunds Suffolk the best I can do is search for Florence Hunt in the 1901 census in the right area, then try and trace back a bit. Does this look right for a start? Florence Hunt abt 1874 Rougham, Suffolk, England Head Bradfield St George Suffolk Hervey Hunt abt 1896 Rougham, Suffolk, England Son Bradfield St George Suffolk Leonard Hunt abt 1895 Rougham, Suffolk, England Son Bradfield St George Suffolk Percy Hunt abt 1893 Rougham, Suffolk, England Son Bradfield St George Suffolk Reginald Hunt abt 1899 Rougham, Suffolk, England Son Bradfield St George Suffolk Ruby Hunt abt 1898 Rougham, Suffolk, England Daughter Bradfield St George Suffolk Stanley Hunt abt 1897 Rougham, Suffolk, England Son Bradfield St George Suffolk address Rougham Rd. The children born after 1901 must have had a different father as she is a widow. do you want me to chase this one back? jess

Hello Jess. Would you be kind enough to look in 1861 family history for me? I am interested in the Hardcastle family. In 1871 they were living at 29 Wards Fold in Leeds and the family comprised of. Lucas Hardcastle 1825, Head. Sarah Hardcastle 1823, Wife. William Hardcastle 1842, Son. Maurice Hardcastle, 1852. Henry Hardcastle, 1856. Emma Hardcastle, 1862. Clara Hardcastle, 1864. Jane Hardcastle,1866. The whole family were born in Leeds except Sarah who was born in the West Indies. I also have the 1881 details, but what is a puzzle, is the fact I cannot find Maurice in BMD nor going through Births from 1842 to 1870 for the whole of England at my local library. And I am wondering if the name is wrong. Can you look in 1861 to see if you can find any other details, which is missing? Kind regards, Christopher

Hi Jess I have Alice Ketteringhams birth cert which says her mothers name as Emma Yeats, although it isn't too clear it looks like Yeats/Yeat. Thanks Kirsty

Kirsty, where were they living when Alice was born? might help in locating where they married

Jess, Alice Ketteringham was born at what looks like Blackborough, middleton Norfolk 1891 so i believe they were married in norfolk. The next child down was born at Wildmore Fen Lincs so looks like they moved to Emma's home later. Do you think they may of married a earlier than five years before Alice was born. Thanks for your time Kirsty x

Christopher There is this family Luke, instead of Lucas, Mary wife, birthplace un known Henry Hardcastle 1855 Leeds, Yorkshire, England Son Leeds Yorkshire Luke Hardcastle 1823 Leeds, Yorkshire, England Head Leeds Yorkshire Maria Hardcastle 1853 Leeds, Yorkshire, England Daughter Leeds Yorkshire Mary Hardcastle 1859 Leeds, Yorkshire, England Daughter Leeds Yorkshire Sarah Hardcastle 1823 N Wife Leeds Yorkshire William Hardcastle 1842 Leeds, Yorkshire, England Son Leeds Yorkshire and what leads tme to belive it is them is the address; 1 Wards Fold... at No 3 is a Benjamin harcastle aged 43 unmarried with his mother hannah a widow aged 77 at 48 Wards Fold is Charles Hardcastle 24 and his wife Hester 34 ** CHRISTOPHER- HAD YOU NOTICED THE SON WILLIAM WAS A WIDOWER AND SEEMINGLY RETURNED TO MUM AND DAD?

Kirsty- going over some old ground 1891 census Ketteringham, Alice abt 1889 Middleton, Norfolk Daughter Middleton Norfolk Ketteringham, Emma abt 1868 Ny Wife Middleton Norfolk Ketteringham, Lulia abt 1889 Middleton, Norfolk Daughter Middleton Norfolk Ketteringham, William abt 1861 Middleton, Norfolk Head Middleton Norfolk Lulia is actually what looks like JULIA and was aged 2 so born 1889 Alice was 2 months ...thought for a moment they were twins. So Alice was not their first born. ------------------------------------------------- William is still at home in 1881, so they must have married between the two, if they married of course!

Jess Thanks for that i didn't realise they had a daughter called Julia! I have a Julia sister to William born 1866. Julia (daughter) wasn't on the 1901 when i looked so maybe she died before then? I'll have to look into that:) Thanks Again Kirsty x ps have to go out now, i'll speak with you later x

ARGHHH !! Okies Jess Dont know if this may be anymore help regarding Elizabeth TURNER ; Would have been in the BRANDON area of WARWICKSHIRE (a bungalow known as SPEEDWAY BUNGALOW) She had children called ; ELLEN ROLAND LUCY TED HILDA FLORENCE born JAN - MARCH 1902 Only other referance(s) I have is RegNo: 770/1/59/35 & 6d 586 Cheers Debs both with referance to HILDA'S birth

Jess Thanks so much! That will keep me busy for a while! Any ideas on Joseph Grant? He was an Upholsterer in 1913(taken from sons birth cert) married to Florence and living at 56 Davenport Road, Catford, Lewisham, London Thanks again Carley

Deb - does she have a husband? When were those children born? before or after Hilda? Jess

hi jess thanks for your reply.out of the list you sent me i think it is going to be either the william kelly born liverpool 1849,or the william kelly born liverpool 1850 as the others dont match up to date of birth.i do not think he was born in litherland so i can possibly eliminate that william kelly.all i know is he married in 1872 and was living in the park lane/st james street area of liverpool and his occupation was a shipwright.his father was a john kelly but was deceased on marriage cert.could you check the 1861 and 1871 census thanks for your help . rob
