Find Ancestors

how on earth have you got the 1911 one???????????? wow that may say alot but the only thing i do know that she was in derby xx

Colette,

There is nothing jumping out at me regarding finding Florence on any of the later census, however there is a Sarah Ellen Holt on the 1901 in Cheshire with her family all born Hayfield. Could this perhaps be her mother?

Ann

This is a real puzzler isn't it? At the risk of giving you a nervous breakdown, just tell us how you know Sarah Ellen's birth year please?
All these questions aren't meant as criticisms, it's just that we have all been led up the wrong path by incorrect info from families and want to make sure you don't end up doing the same.

Colette,

Dont want to make you more downhearted, but the birth cert names does not mean they were "married".......what is written on the birth cert is only what the people concerned actually tell the registrar

My grandfather married three times and told quite significant porky pies on all three!

Ann

ann i have sarah ellen sorted and pinned down but cannot find a single thing on florence xx

Colette - West Deby is not Derby, if this is the record you are looking at - very deceptive, it is actually Liverpool!
Jan

Janet,

Just read your question regarding sarah Ellens birthdate, which I had not noticed.......the Sarah Ellen on the 1901 census in Cheshire is birthdate 1885.........and born Hayfield.

Ann

Ann you just made me laugh, i know that sarah ellen is the correct one and born 1885. and she is my great gran.

as to if it is one of the many many holts - i believe so as the whole family moved from hayfield to stalybridge then derby with the father dying between 2 census. i think there was alot of shenanigans going off in them days xxx the plot thickens............

Janet i know that west derby is not derby as i'm in derby myself xxxx

Right...........so its Florence we are after then!! Have you thought of the possibility that Florence was not her birth first name, but as I call it her "living" name..........my mother was Eliz Alice, but all her life she referred to herself as Alice, as I am Eliz Ann, but never use the Eliz......just a thought.

Annx

Well, I am at a loss. Have searched for any Holts married to Kerry - no luck at all. Curses!
Jan

my guess then she was hidden away for years then changed her name!
not really, thank you for trying ladies but i have to go to bed now. this is going to drive me round the bend and more some!!!

Just to cause even more trouble.

I know you are stuck with looking for births 1901/2/3 for Florence, but there is one in 1907 registration district Ashton which covers Stayleybridge.


Happyzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

janet ,sarah ellen would be 11. i know i come from a line of er, well ,
but 11 is alittle young for having a baby xxx

So ... you are sure Sarah was born 1885/ (is this starting to sound familiar??) The 1901 census above a non-starter then?
Jan
