Catherine,I have been looking for a whole family in liverpool on 1901 and despite trying 100's of spellings,can not find any of them. They are James Tafe,46,Sarah Tafe 47,James Tafe 17,Peter Hanlon,24,Hugh Hanlon,21,Mary Hanlon,19. I think there were some other Tafe brothers as well;Thomas,David and John,all younger than James. If you have time I would be grateful if you could have a quick look;a fresh pair of eyes and all that.

Louise Any idea of Enoch Leech's age in 1901 as there are 2 possibilities listed as below: Enoch Leech-34-Born not known in admin count of staffs-Iron Workers Labourer. Enoch Leech-42-Born Salop-Market Drayton-Admin County Staffs. Civil Parish; Newcastle Under-Lyme Blast Furnace Labourer. Any of these? Edwin would not have been on the census if he was born in 1905. Catherine

Diane Are these 2 seperate families living seperate or all together? Catherine

Hi,Catherine,the Hanlons were James Tafe's step children,and Sarah's children from her 1st marriage.

Diane Have found nothing on any Tafe. (Tried Taffe) Peter Hanlon, and Hugh.But found 3 Mary Hanlon's all from Livepool: 1) Age 19 a boarder living in Huddersfield 2) 1 Married to a John Hanlon, so prob not this one.Hanlon being married name and all.Age 24. 3) 1 Living in Kirkdale with the Casey family and she is classed as their Neice. age 20. Any ideas Catherine

Hmmm,I suppose the first one is the most likely,though Huddersfield is a surprise! You would not believe how many variations for Tafe I have used,but still nothing! I don't see how a whole family can be missed! Thank you very much for your time and effort Diane

Diane If you want any of the details I have them. Looks like a very colourful household if she is the one she was living with a load of actors and actresses. Catherine

Wow,that does sound interesting! I would love the details,if it's not too much trouble. Many thanks

Catherine. If you have any credits left now could you please look up Sellar family. Charles, Emma, William, Henrietta, Dorothy, Alice, Gladys and Hilda. All should be at same address in Bridgwater, Somerset. Thanx. Sarah.

Sarah Was Charles the Husband, Emma the wife and the rest Children. Any idea of a rough age of Charles. Thanks Catherine

Hi,Catherine,Thank you everso much! When I find out what her occupation was,I;ll let you know.

Hi Catherine, If you have any credits left could you look for a Alice Macey Crowson who married John william Bromley Louth Lincs can't find their marriage anywhere, but I do know they were definatly married. Thanks Sue

Susan Do you know if John was married to Alice in 1901? Have you a rough idea of his age round that time period or were they both children in 1901. Thanks Catherine

Catherine, you must be a very kind person!! If you have any credits left could you please look up Thomas Alfred Jennings a shipwright aged born in 1851 in East or West Ham which is probably Essex at that time(but could be London). He would have up to 8 kids and probably is a widower?? Anything would be great. Thanks so much in advance. Maz. XX

Sorry Catherine. Having a silly saturday. Yes Charles was the husband and Emma his wife. He would have been about 36 I believe. And the rest were their children. Sarah.

Hi Marion There is 1 Thomas Jennings listed under Essex married to May and he is age 47. They currently in 1901 had 3 children. There are 7 listed for London.Do you think you can narrow it down? 1) Thomas Jennings-46-Born-City of London-Parish Mile End-General Dealer 2)Age 47-London Middlesex-Admin Co Lancaster-Orchestral Musician 3) 49 Born Marlebone, London-Admin Co London-House Painter 4)50-Born London Bromley-General Labourer. 5)53-Born Camden, London-Admin Co is Kent-Publican 6)54-Born London, Camberwell-Painter 7)54-London-St Pancras-Carver and Guilder. None show West or East Ham. Sorry my London Geography not too clever. Ring any bells.Do you know the names of any of the kids? Having a break, for a bit but let me know, have to get my daughter off to her Granma's. Catherine

Bit puzzled as no Shipwrights showing. He was down on 1891 as born Poplar. Children would be (starting from youngest) Daisy or Emily, Jennie, Ellen/or, Alice, Annie or Emily, Beatrice, Alfred, Thomas. Don't know how many would still be at home. Wife was Sarah Ann - on 1891 as Annie - but think probably deceased. Sorry not much help. Driving me mad!! Maz. XX

Thanks Catherine! Have been off line for a bit! Gillian
