I forgot to search for Marg* (Margaret gets spelled / transcribed many wonderful ways). But I searched for Fred* and found them in 1881.

Civil Parish: Fxhls Bythrp and Btrwch in Drfld
County/Island: Yorkshire
Street address: Cottage

George Thompson 22
Elizabeth Thompson 26
Ann Thompson 1
Marry Thompson
George Bannister 36
Elizabeth Bannister 32
Ellen Bannister 9
Thomas Bannister 8
Francis Bannister 5
Fred. Bannister 4
Mary Em. Bannister 2
Marget A. Bannister
John Hall 28
Mary E. Hall 23
M.A. Hall 4
James K. Hall
Henry Bell 62
Elizabeth Bell 53
Emily Tindall 7

Find them by searching for

Fred* Bannister
born Yorkshire, Foxholes

Click on him and then on father George, and you will have George's occupation as well.

Well, for your valiant effort, I'll check 1891. ;)


Name: Margaret Annie Bannister
Age: 10
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1881
Relation: Daughter
Father's Name: George
Mother's Name: Elizabeth
Where born: Foxholes, Yorkshire, England

Civil Parish: Foxholes

George Bannister 46 - born Foxholes
Elizabeth Bannister 43 - born West Herrington, Yorkshire
Fred Bannister 14
Margaret Annie Bannister 10
Ruth Vance Bannister 8
Minnie Elizabeth Bannister 6
Henry Ringose Bannick 1


And now you have a tonne of Bannisters.

It would take me forever to download the image just now, but I imagine you can assume that Bannick is Bannister, mistranscribed for whatever moronic reason.

Margaret's birth was registered in June quarter 1880, but she is not showing herself to me in 1881. Maybe you'll find her.

Thank you i got to the bottom of it :-). Alec, Elsie's son was born out of wedlock because of an affair, i couldnt find the link from family easily because nobody spoke about after Alec was born.

Thanks Bianca

The surname is misspelled in the 1881 census again, but searching for

Tom Coxworth
born 1873
born in Flixton

will find him, near the top of the results list. Then you'll see his parents' and siblings when you click on "view record".

If you search at FreeBMD, you should be able to find the births of Tom Coxworth and Margaret Annie Bannister.

And in the 1881 census -- which is free at Ancestry (it might make you sign up as a guest) -- you should be able to find them with their parents.

Give it a shot!

There you go!

I'm sorry, the part I forgot to mention is that once you find one person, you *click on the page number* and it will show you the other names on the page.

There are usually four names on a page, and you can't tell who married whom without getting the certificate, but in your case we kinda know.

So you noted what year they married, and compared it to Elsie's birth date?

Here they are in 1901 -- Ancestry has misspelled the surname.

If you do that search and report what you find, Bianca, I'll be happy to give you the info about Elsie from the 1901 census (it's a little tricky).

Find Elsie's parents' marriage, and tell us their names!

EvieBeavie

EvieBeavie Report 5 Feb 2009 18:11

Bianca, it's fun to find things yourself.

Elsie's name suggests that her parents' surnames were Coxworth and Bannister.

If you search at FreeBMD for a marriage with those two surnames, say 1880-1900, you'll discover yet another interesting fact about Elsie. ;)

Bianca, to find where the Carr siblings were born, and the quarters they were registered, search for them at FreeBMD like the others have done here for your other people.

You have the names and approx dates of birth from the 1901 census -- search FreeBMD for them!

http://www.freebmd.org.uk

That's all anybody else would do. ;)
