Please can anyone lookup George Herbert Hirst born 1874 in Kirkheaton, Yorkshire, in the 1881 and 1891 census please. I believe his grandparents were called James and Sarah Maria Hirst. They lived Brown Cow Public House, St Mary's Lane near Kirkheaton, Yorkshire. Many thanks. Fern -x-.

Do you know his parent's names?

Is anyone able to look up this family ten years before 1881. Many thanks. Fern -x-.

No all I know is that according to a book written about him is that his grandparents were James and Sarah Maria Hirst. George Herbert Hirst is a famous cricketer. Many thanks. Fern -x-.

I need to tie him in with my tree as my great grandmother always said he was a first couisn. Could anyone look for him in the 1871 census please. Fern -x-.

If he was born in 1874, he cannot be on 1871 census............

Reg

Have you looked for George in 1881? He clearly isn't with the family you found.........

Reg

Yeah I know I would the family look up for then please. Fern -x-.

I'm not sure where he might be but that is the correct family I've found. Fern -x-.

According to his biographer, he was born in 1871

M. M. Reese, ‘Hirst, George Herbert (1871–1954)’,

Reg

Well according other two sources I have it's 1874 and BMD says it too. Many thanks. Fern -x-.

Logically, a ten-year old boy would be with his parents..........unless he was illegitimate, or one (or both) of the parents had died.

Reg

In that case, you can learn who his parents were by buying the birth cert.

I believe he was illegitimate. As the book co written by his granddaughter said he was born at his mother's parent pub the Brown Cow pub James Hirst and Sarah Maria Hirst. All I need to find out now is about James Hirst were he came from because I think he is the link to my family. Fern -x-.

Many thanks Reg. Fern -x-.

I thought he probably was, in view of the fact that only the grandparents were referred to in the book..............

Mary and Sarah would seem the most obvious candidates........

Reg

Yeah I agree. Is there any chance you could gind George Hirst in the 1891 census please. Many thanks. Fern -x-.
