Look for a Crystal ball?

Oh yes I'd better put dinner on............

I've no idea Fanny.
In 1911 Violet Annie was in Manchester Workhouse, Olive was in service in York, and Harold was a Waggoner on a farm in Welton le Wold in Lincolnshire.

Or not bothered mentioning he was widowed for tax puposes?Did you get an allowance on tax for a wife then?
Im not good on that sort of thing.. :-)

Dinner time for me...Back later to how things are doing..~~~

No Marie but I do now.......
That's the only one I could find Fanny, he's shown as a Lecturer but he's also shown as being married yet George was widowed in 1896. I suppose he could have re-married (which I'd never thought of)

Sally, apologies if you already know this! but on the left of the page is an item under the Tools heading called "My Threads". If you click on there you can get back to any thread you've started or posted on. :-)

OK.

Yes please :-)

So shall we all stick with this one then please?

Yes I've only just found that I should be linking to original threads and not adding new ones :-S

Mention of Violet Annie on this thread:

http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards.page/board/ancestors/thread/1194962

Yes they were both unmarried

Do you know if Olive and Violet were unmarried in 1901?
Thanks

You kindly helped me find George's birth in Sheriff Hutton (he was registered as George Curtis Wombell) but now I cannot find his death. The only likely death I could find was in 1911 in Lincoln but the certificate proved me wrong.
His wife Eliza died in 1896 and I cannot find George on the 1901 or 1911 censuses unless he is the one shown as a Visitor in Norfolk in 1901, I cannot read the occupation on that census return but I think it's ?????? Lecturer. George had several occupations which included Chemistry Lecturer, Entertainments Lecturer, and Exhibitor of Pictures to name a few.
He was shown as living on his son Ernest's marriage certificate in March 1901, but was not living with Ernest on the 1901 census.
I cannot find any of his 3 other children on the 1901 census but can find them on the 1911 census.
His other children were:
Violet Annie b.1875 Sowerby, Yorkshire
Olive M b. 1886 West Lilling, Yorkshire
Harold James b.1891 Wes Lilling, Yorkshire.
(All the children are named Curtis not Wombell)
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks Julie
I'm beginning to think he must have been quite a character!! He has appeared on censuses as John/Joseph Wombell/Wambell, John/Joseph Curtis. A Quack Doctor, a Travelling Doctor, a Herbalist, a Labourer, and a Gardener.
He also gives varying places of birth!!
I think I'll leave him alone for a while

Sally
