Well -- if her previous husband was William Bullus and she had a child in 1889, she sure looks a lot like the Louise/Louisa Gardner who married William Bullus in 1884!

Not unusual for child of unmarried parents to have father's surname as middle name ... but Wright?

Births Sep 1903
Wright Henry Fox W. Derby 8b 594

Maybe he was Alfred's son with another woman altogether. ;)

Or a nephew then taken into the household or that sort of thing.

Henry Pridmore Fox is the father of my friend she says def born Feb 1900. In 1911 he is with Alfred Pridmore Fox and Louise (sometimes Louisa) Fox in Birkenhead . The other names have come from the birth cert of his half sister Dorothy Thornhill Bullus born in 1889 with the mmn as Holding, father William Allen Watson Bullus, Dorothy is also on the 1911 census with the family.

Thanks Gail

In view of her middle name at marriage, any chance?


Marriages Sep 1884
Bullers William Chester 8a 514
Bullus William Chester 8a 514
GARDNER Louisa Chester 8a 514
Gardner Louise Chester 8a 514

No marriage for a Louise/Louisa Holding to anyone who looks like a Bullus 1880-1907.

DUMBELL John Tomlinson W. Derby 8b 915

I don't see a Bullus-Holding marriage, though.

I have that message still on my screen from a search yesterday:

http://www.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=8964

Trying a reload, same thing. Doing the search over, same thing. When I back-paged to the search, to repeat it, instead of telling me I was searching the birth index 1837-1983, it told me "unknown". It seems to be an Ancestry problem.

Why are you doing that search though, rather than just doing the automated search of the database at Ancestry

http://www.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=8912

or at FreeBMD? For fear of mistranscriptions, maybe, so you can go to the actual image for each surname?


Have you found the parents in the 1901 census? If Henry was born 1900, one would expect he would be with them, or at least with the mother. That could provide a clue ... but presumably he'd be in the census as Fox, as in 1911, if they were living as a couple, even if he wasn't registered that way, true.

Thanks Jonesey.

I've looked everywhere he's just not coming up anywhere.He was def born in 1900 it's my friends father we have him on the 1911 as Henry Pridmore Fox, but his parents didn't marry until 1907, we assumed he would be under the mothrs maiden name of Holding or even under Bullus her first married name. We know she was Holding as we have his half sister's birth cert.


Mainly wondering why I can't get any births on Ancestry, never had problem before.

Thanks again Gail

I,m searching bmd on ancestry quarter by quarter, for a Henry Fox (or Bullus or even Holding) born Feb 1900 in Birmingham.
I'm putting in the first name, surname name and year, when I press search it says not enough information.
Was able to do it before this evening, and it's fine with deaths and marriages.
Any ideas
