Find Ancestors

On the 1911 census, does it actually say where Reginald was born? If we can find a birth, it may help.


I'm not seeing one or anything like at the moment.

Sadly it just says "Leeds, Yorkshire". Have tried all kinds of combos to find his brother (or whoever Cecil is!) in the 1911, but as yet, nothing.

And this is BEFORE you begin looking at Charles/Arthur/Edward ...

what about this birth for 'Cecil' - named Oddy on 1891 census with Frederick and Catherine Myers ?

Tomlinson Charles Edward C Holbeck 9b 333




The initials match (if nothing else) !

A good find again Choccy. What a can of worms this seems to have opened!!

What about looking at this one on the 1911 census ?




HOUSEHOLD TOMLINSON CHARLES ED M 1882 29 Prestwich Lancashire
HOUSEHOLD TOMLINSON ESTHER F 1880 31 Prestwich Lancashire



No credits to view, but don't think it is him, as when I put in place of birth as Yorkshire, it is coming up with no result.



This is the marriage -

Not clutching at straws now, just grabbing.

Sorry about the absence without warning - we just had a powercut. Blowing an absolute gale here in South-West France so assume some cable was down somewhere!

Anyway, had a look at the one you suggest - he is born Moston, Lancashire. Darn.

BTW, I have (as you can prob see) a 1911 census sub ... let me know if you need anything ;)

Sorry to hear about your power cut. Its quite calm in south-east Kent (at the moment).

Not sure where to go next with this, Just cannot fathom who Reginald and Cecil are and how they are related, if at all, to Frederick and Catherine, and whether Charles Oddy on the 1891 census is in fact Cecil!

Have had a quick look for Charles Albert Edward, but not seeing anything.

Thanks for the 1911 census offer.

Well thank you for all your help anyway! And don't hesitate to pm me about 1911.

I would like to think we have begun to solve the question about Catherine -even if yet more questions have been raised by you finding someone who looks very much like her!

Now ... perhaps someone else has some great suggestions about Charles/Albert/Edward ... ??

Nudging this just in case there are any masochists out there tonight!

Been looking for hours with no new info except it seems Seth Oddy was imprisoned in March 1866 for 18months for false pretences with him also was William Lobley Oddy for same offence.

This one awkward family for finding info.

Maybe contact with the person who altered 1871 census for Albert Edward Oddy with Clara and Maud boarders at school,there name was Oddy but I couldn't find a tree on Ancestry but they must have some connection to this family.

Hi Mary

Lol yes, one awkward family as you say! You've been working on it for hours - I've kept returning to them over the last 3 years!

Lobley and Seth (my other half's great grandad) were imprisoned for what we would now call receiving stolen goods, and Edward (their brother - and a Conservative councillor) got three weeks for thumping someone who said his speech making abilities were rubbish!!

I took a tip from another board and joined Lancashire Libraries, through which I have been able to access all kinds of adverts, obituaries, articles about the three of them - but nothing about any of Edward's offspring.

Ah well. Thanks for trying anyway!! Think I'll head for bed and try again tomorrow ...
