General Chat

Lately I have been asking a lot of questions and you have all been wonderful. I was up most of last night doing my friends family tree as I am hoping to give it her for her birthday on Saturday. But I hit a blocker. Whether its because I am trying to rush it or Im just thick I don't know. But I need your help again. I have a Lilly K Franklin born 1901 who married Harold G Jacques. I know a lot about Harold but thats all I know about her. I have tried typing her birth in but I dont where that was. How do I find the correct one on the 1911 census if I only know her name x

You start with looking for her birth reg on the GRO index, ( bearing in mind she might have been reg as Lillian/Lilly/Lilian that should give you her mother's maiden name, you then look for a marriage of those 2 surnames on freebmd.org.uk and see if you can find them on the census in 1911.

Bear in mind you must look for all possibles on the name, eg she is LILY K on the 1939 reg from other post

so
FRANKLIN, LILY KATHLEEN mmn TASHER **see posts belowe re name )
GRO Reference: 1900 D Quarter in UXBRIDGE Volume 03A Page 28

So you are looking for the marriage of a Franklin to a Tasher *** see next posts (assuming Ms Tasher had not been married in which case it may be Franklin to her married surname)

As it's the right area try this

1901 England, Wales & Scotland Census
Lime Tree Villas, 1, Park Road, Hillingdon West, Uxbridge, Middlesex, England


Frederick Franklin Head Married Male 31 1870 Corn Merchants Clerk Harlington, Middlesex, England
Alice Franklin Wife Married Female 30 1871 - Groombridge, Sussex, England
Albert G P Franklin Son - Male 8 1893 Scholar Harlington, Middlesex, England
William F Franklin Son - Male 6 1895 Scholar Uxbridge, Middlesex, England
Alice V E Franklin Daughter - Female 4 1897 - Uxbridge, Middlesex, England
Lily K Franklin Daughter - Female 0 1901 - Uxbridge, Middlesex, England
George Franklin Father Married Male 74 1827 Retired Cattleman On Farm Harlington, Middlesex, England

So you can then look at the other children's births on the GRO and see if you can find one with the same mmn to confirm , in this case it appears the name is not TASHER, but Tasker

FRANKLIN, ALBERT GEORGE PERCY mmn TASKER
GRO Reference: 1892 J Quarter in STAINES Volume 03A Page 15

You can then look for a marriage, on freebmd, it may be (is) in the same area as on census, Frederick Franklin to Alice Tasker.

I'll let you find it yourself for the practice :-)

No way. I thought I had some info about her somewhere. I looked through my notebook, scraps of paper but never checked my other thread. What a wally. I tried the gro index yesterday, its not easy to navigate. Thank you rambling again x

I need the practice lol. Going to make a brew and have a look x

Look for Alice and Frederick on the 1911 census, you will find Lily doesn't have the middle initial given there, it is sometimes easier if you look for another member of the family, or a combination, so in this case I looked for Alice.

You'll also note that on the 1911 Frederick's father is listed with them , so that takes you a little further back on that side of family: George Franklin Father Widower Male 84 1827

It's very difficult to rush doing a tree, inevitably there will be at least one branch that is impossible to rush :-)

The 1891 census with George's wife (Frederick's mother):-

The Village, Harlington, Staines, Middlesex, England

First name(s) Last name Relationship Marital status Sex Age Birth year Occupation Birth place

George Franklin Head Of Family Married Male 63 1828 Agricultural Labourer Middlesex, England
Eleanor Franklin Wife Married Female 62 1829 - Middlesex, England
