Jenny- i still cant find them but feel that something isn't quite adding up here - if this Thomas and louisa (the one I found in 1891)had a daughter that died last week how old was she when she died? Even if she was 90, that would make her born 1915, and the first born was born by 1881 - quite a span for any woman to have been bearing children. have a bit of a think - are those 1891 the right ones? ~Jess~

jess i think they married in 1884 and thomas was born in 1885, florence hilda was born in 1908 and would have been 97 in october , then when thomas died louisa re-married and had 3 more children, the last one in 1918, blimey as you say how old would that have made her when she had her last child in 1918, 61?. jenny

wow jess thats brilliant, no wonder I could'nt find them with their names spelt like that, if only auntie hilda had'nt died last week because I could have given her the news although she would have probably told me off like she did when I wrote and asked her the names of her brothers, she could'nt really remember because she was put in a childrens home when her dad died for a few years and never saw her brothers again. thanks very much and I promise not to lose them again lol. jenny x

Hi Jess Received a marriage cert today for Joseph Hancock to Margaret Chapman - December 31st, 1921. Have managed (I think) to find Joseph on 1901 Census (mistranscribed as Rose, would you believe?) I cannot find Margaret Chapman. - Can you help please? Address in 1921 is 39 Riga?? St. (probably Hulme, Manchester as that is where the Church was). - her father was James Henry Chapman - Carter. Margaret at marriage was 21, spinster, rubber worker. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks, Dea x

Dea- do you know anything else about her at all? there is one - but an engine driver possible dad - right initials- twin brothers? theoretically she should show, being born 1900, but may have been born after the census in 1901 ~jess~
