Christine

just had a limited look on ancestry. Is this a possible

Herbert Cronwhithe - born Lancs living Cheshire mother Maria

I don't have access to census records unless I am in the library or Rec office so had not looked. That 1891 of Christine's certainly fits the family I found on cheshirebmd.

Here's the 1891 from Ancestry.

Christine

hi lanc ann, am i just blind or what? but try as i might i cannot find the whole family on 1901 census. on 1881 the spelling is crossthwaite. so i tried that and then just one s but to no avail, not even in 1891 can i see them either?

i know you found them in cheshire marriages but did you find them at all on the census?

florence

hi lanc ann,i have been studying all this info carefully and know now how the confusion has arisen and that i think you are right.

when i searched on gr in all records for herbert, i got 2 entries. one in hunslet 1887 and the other in liverpool 1888.

but when i searched gr in births i got different results. i got one herbert born stockport 1886 which does not show on the all records search. so taking that into account i believe you have found the correct details.

i am going to order the birth or marriage cert to be sure.

now my grt aunty annie crosstwaite had a son who is my dads 1st cousin. we have just been reunited for the first time, but some 40 years since he and my father lost contact.

so it was he who gave me the names of his grandparents which included the name johnson.

anyway once i get the cert, that will sort it once and for all. so herbert had quite a large family of siblings and that will take a bit of work putting all in a tree. but hey we like to be kept busy dont we, hate being bored!lol

so thanks to all for all your hard work, hopefully herbert has been sorted out.

florence

ps lanc ann the liverpool and derby was the other herbert that came up on all records born 1887.

sorry Florence you have lost me there - where did the Liverpool & Derby bits come from?

Herbert not Herbert J. married Lily in 1907

The Herbert birth I gave you in Stockport is likely to be his birth in 1886

do you have any certificates to prove any of the info you have?

hi again folks. well i looked at the 1901 census. searched for herbert j crosthwaite born 1887 and there he is with his mother florence and brother dudley. it lists him as herbert j. i know he married lily because thats the info i have m 1907 sep in stockport.

i see what you mean about his birth being in liverpool but maybe they moved to derby soon after, which is near to cheshire .

i dont know any of the other names you mentioned but would have to ask some qustions in the family to confirm

thanks anyway
florence

and siblings

do any of these ring a bell as family names?

that would give these as herbert's parents

sorry to bring complications again but as all the rest of the marriage births etc are Stockport I think this is more likely to be your Herbert's birh - remember the census was always taken early in the year so the birth year is frequently 1 less than that calculated form the census age

also at no time is he described as Herbert J.

ann, thanks again and now have managed to trace back to when herbert was a wee boy. it says his name is herbert j crosthwaite. so maybe the cousin guessed the name! anyway i traced the family and herberts mother, who strangley enough is called florence as was my granmother and gt grandma. she was born in 1860.

so alls well that ends well
thanks
florence

Thanks Ann :)

Your welcome Florence! Thats the fun of the hunt is it not, making mistakes and then trying to rectify them!

Added by the enumerator..........on original I think it is RETAIL GROCER!

Maybe so!

Births Jun 1887 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Crosthwaite Herbert Hunslet 9b 315

Just to note that Hunslet is in Yorkshire, not Lancs. This is the only entry of Freebmd for 1880-1890 so very likely the one married to Lily.

The marriage cert of Lily & Herbert would help establish parentage.

Just looking at the 1911 for Herbert & Lily - would a 24 yr old be RETIRED?

oh thankyou so very much, didnt expect anyone to look again and didnt feel right for me to ask after all the looking before.

you truly are wonderful people and i hope others appreciate your help as much as i do tonight.

million thanks
florencex

ps still dont know where the johnson came from, that is a mystery for another day i think!
