Oops, Sorry Viv, that did turn out to be a different family (forgot it was yourself!), looks like I'd better give up on this one, seems he was probably living with another family and perhaps either missed off both censuses or his name was incorrectly recorded. Sorry to have troubled you again. Kind regards Helen

Hi Viv please could you look for the household of Maria Watson ( born 1836 Easingwold Yorks) living in Whitby North Yorks at time possibly Henrietta St Many thanks Rod

Helen I have already done this one for you, and sent the census page. Sorry if ti did not help! Viv

Hi Viv I'm, looking for Edward Robert Terry born in Poplar East London in 1879. His father was Edward Terry born Maidstone and his mother Sarah born in Greenwich. Another user has kindly found his parents, a brother and a sister living at Station Road, Poplar on the 1891 census but no sign of young Edward. (the family name had been transcribed as Gerry in error and therefore took some searching for!). I also can't find him on the 1881 census so it's possible he was living with someone else from an early age. I'd be grateful if you could see whether he might be staying with relatives (Sarah's maiden name was Grayston) or something similar. Many thanks Helen

Hi Andrew, Cannot find anything on the Ashton sisters. Obviously I do not have anything on their marriages, as they would only be in early teens in 1891. Sorry Viv

Vivienne, I am desperately looking for Annie P. Dawson born in Rochdale in 1880. I believe her father to be Charles. She has two brothers called Charles and Joseph and two sisters called Rose and Margaret. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Vivienne. Could you help me with the 1891 census. I am looking for two sisters, Mary and Ellen Ashton, both born around the early 1880's, in the St helens area of Lancashire (could include windle, eccleston and sutton). Sorry if it is vague, but I currently do not have that much information. They both married a Henry Ashton, born about the same time, same area. Mary first, she died shortly after marriage. Henry then married Ellen. If it cannot be done, don't worry. Andrew.

How do i go about trying to find someone without their D O B or area, i have their names and a childs name and birth details but need parents info now, and don't know where to begin, Looking for a thomas William Humphrey Roberts about the c1880 i think, and his wife, Lucy Roberts formerly Brindley, also about the same year, their son was born on 16, december 1906, in Salford, Pendleton, counties of salford and lancaster, any help and i would be grateful thankyou Laura
