and yet.......there are references to Derby on both census and he married a girl from Derby! I've looked through to see if he married either of the two Annies I could find on both census but no joy. Mind you, I could be doing it all wrong of course! Cx.

Oh FBG, I'm so sorry, I missed your 2nd contribution - overcome by a fit of coughing!

Well, I suppose he could be either of them because he was certainly a gardener. I will try and find out if my friend can offer a little more information to help us along.

You know I am really grateful don't you! Cx.

Edit.....I'm going to stick my neck out for the first one. The election must be getting to me! xx

Cynthia Report 6 May 2010 20:24

Thanks Choccy, he seems to be the nearest birth doesn't he?

I did wonder if he just said he was from 'Liverpool' on the 1891 but that's a lot of guesswork! Cx

Well, I thought it would be relatively simple to wend my weary way back through the census.....huh!

I tried to find William on the 1891....but I simply can't - not under the birthplace of Prescot anyway. I even checked through all of the entries for Prescot in 1891.....zilch.

Here is the entry for 1901

Name: William Humphries
Age: 41
Estimated birth year: abt 1860
Relation: Head
Spouse's name: Annie
Gender: Male
Where born: Prescott, Lancashire, England

Civil parish: Holme Lacy
Ecclesiastical parish: Holme Lacy St Cuthbert
County/Island: Herefordshire
Country: England

Street Address:

Occupation:

Condition as to marriage:

Education:

Employment status: View image

Registration district: Hereford
Sub-registration district: Dewchurch
ED, institution, or vessel: 5
Neighbors: View others on page
Household schedule number: 58
Household Members: Name Age
William Humphries 41
Annie Humphries 30
Margaret E Humphries 5 months

Source Citation: Class: RG13; Piece: 2477; Folio: 47; Page: 9.


I have also checked on the igi - no success there either.

The family is on the 1911 living at Droxford in Hampshire but I don't have access to see where William states his place of birth.

So...I give up....again......such a failure !! Any help would be gratefully received. Thanks. Cx.

Cynthia Report 4 May 2010 22:24

Thank you Flick. I didn't think about the other way of spelling the name and he is down as Ronald on the 1911 which threw me a little.......and 'tis late!

Very grateful for your time. Love, Cx.

HUMPHRIES Rowland Prince Hereford 6a 482

Cynthia

Cynthia Report 4 May 2010 21:54

Hi, this is for a friend.

I am looking for her uncle - Ronald or Roland Humphries who, for some reason unknown to her was known as Roland Prince.

I have found him as Ronald P. Humphries on the 1911, stating he was born in 1908. They are living at Droxford in Hampshire.

I have traced the other siblings ie.,
Margaret Eileen b.1900
Annie Violet b.1902
Betty Iris b.1904
William Lacy b.1905
All born in Herefordshire.

I have found the parents, William and Annie on the 1901 living in Herefordshire

I cannot, however, find Roland/Ronald's birth

Could someone take a look to see what I am missing please?

Many thanks. Cx.
