Thanks Jess. I am looking for McLeans On NS 1901 site I can find James McLean Senior (42), James McLean Junior (19) and William McLean (14) all aboard ship. I cannot find his wife Emma (39), * Daughter, Selina Alice (19) Daughter, Mary (17)* Daughter, Jane (17) Daughter, Carrie (9)* Daughter, Kate (8)* Son, Robert, (6)* Daughter, Emma (5)* Daughter, Ella (6m) * For the last 20 years they were living at Prospect Place in Brixham. Lyla has managed to find all * together on 1901 on Ancestry but I cannot even find one on their own on the 1901 site. I cannot understand what I am doing wrong - I know they must be somewhere but even using the Intelligent Person Search facility I can't find any but the McLean men! There must be a special way of inputting information but for the life of me, even after reading their instructions, I cannot see what it is! Any tips? Thanks Abigail

Valerie - i need some 'where' and 'when' s Jess

Hi Jess, If you are still doing look-ups, I would be really grateful if you were please able to look up on the 1901 census: Walter G Walsh aged 3 (born 1897 but still 3 in march 1901) born and living in St Luke, Islington London. I think I may finally have found my Gt Grandfather and would love to know about his family and the street he was living in etc. Many Thanks, Sarah :)

sorry janet, seem to be unable to locate her

Hi Jess, Could you please check out the following in 1901- Mary McGrath - Born Wigan - Age 20ish -Cotton Weaver William Mcgrath - Born Wigan - Age 1 - Son of above Would be living in Wigan area as I have just of birth certificate for son born 1900 but she was not married and need to confirm i'm on the right mother before I can go back any further. Could you please list anyone else living in the house. Thanks - Louise

Janet -is Catherine's birth place always recorded as Prescot?

Christopher - from 1891 i assume these are Thomas' siblings Kay, Jim 19 Holbeck, Yorkshire Brother Holbeck Yorkshire Kay, Joseph 25 Holbeck, Yorkshire Brother Holbeck Yorkshire Kay, Sarah Ann 29 Holbeck, Yorkshire Head Holbeck Yorkshire

Jess. Please could you investigate the Hardcastle family for me. My Gt Grandmother was called Clara Hardcastle before marrying Thomas Kay in Hunslet (Leeds) in 1885. I have full knowleged from 1901 and her children. What I would like to find out is information pre married. The story goes that the family came from Whitby but I cannot confirm this detail. She was born in 1863 but as Free BMD only covers 20% of births for that period I would have to search fully myself to confirm any detail. If you can find any detail pre 1885 of the family in Leeds, Hunslet or Holbeck I would be really greatful, kind regards Christopher

Jess, Just got in from work and read what you found, no wonder its been difficult if the name was spelt wrong! You have made my day, thanks alot! Be back soon with my next query no doubt!

Jess, Tku for the quick response and, yes, that is the correct 1871 entry that you have found. It is the two sons, William King b.1858 and Charles King b.1861 that I am trying to trace forward. I have no clues about marriages or children or whether they moved from Caterham or what they did for a living. Yes, that is the birth cert for Wm King that I applied for and was told that the mother was not Ann formerly Tompkins which I know she was. I also found a Charles King birth 1862 June qtr Croydon 2A 184 but was told his father's forename was not Wm and his mother was not Ann formerly Tompkins. I cannot identify either of these men on the 1881, that is why on the offchance I asked you to be kind enough to check the 1891 for me. I don't know what happened to them after the 1871 census. They had an older brother and 2 younger sisters and I have traced all of them. But it's so difficult with a common name like 'King'. Tku v much for your time and effort. Christine

Jess, My last message to you didn't seem to post - I may have e-mailed it to you by mistake. Sorry Thank you so much for looking at the records for me I think Im on the right track with the right Chapmans at last. Are you able to give me the age of Walter who lived in the house ( I assume he was a child aged 1 or 2 but could you check) Also would you mind checking the 1891 census to see if they had any more children. They may have moved at this stage to Lambeth and Alfred may have died with Charlotte remarrying and taking the name Etwell ( I know in 1901 that this was the case - Charlotte lived with her new husband Frederick Ettwell and there daughter Florence Ettwell and her son Harry Chapman, My Great Grandfather, they lived in Lambeth as tobaconists/newsagents). Again many thanks it is much appreciated. Matt

Hi Jess, Just wondered if you managed to find my John Coyne in 1881, also I still can't find the marriage of my grandparents William Oswald Jones & Elsie Annie Coyne, I've tried Nottingham, Staffordshire, Cheshire & West Midlands, as I believe they may have married in one of these area, Elsie does go by the name of Jones, I've found her in the Electoral Roll in Cheshire. I'd appreciate any help you can offer. Regards Sandra
