And that's where I lose George....

wow joan thankyou

that has certainly given me something to think about

i didnt think of immigration (i would have got there eventually)

i know what you mean about the names

i have just found that henry james had son francis who was called frank!! luckily in the census he is francis

i also think having trawled freebmd

that ralph nurton s/o henry james was in fact harold ralph, but that is a bit shaky

thanks again for all your time and effort

ok certs have arrived

firstly

rose Nurton death cert, that on was my rosina d/o john, she died of heart disease (vulvular) 2 yrs certified, so am guessing she got rhumatic fever as a child. so thats Rosina sorted

next

sidney nurton WAS the son of Henry James and Mary ann, not sure if he lived with his grandparents permenantly, or just happened to be there on the nights that the 1891 and 1901 census was taken. but my mother now remembers there was an uncle sid (dont you just love it when a £7 cert jogs their memory?) she doesnt think he ever married, but he did live in an almshouse in stogursey!

finally

the marriage of Francis Nurton and Mary ann Willicombe, was that of Francis henry, uncle to my Henry james nurton. Francis was 41 bachelor and Mary 39, spinster

following my convo with mother i now have 13 children to /henry and Mary ann all baptised one name and called another!!! (aunty may, real name fanny mabel, was called john when she was young!!!)

at least my trawling is a little more focused lol
