	Wonder if he is Gerald Dixon Bamforth. Looks like he married in 1945. I'm assuming he's no longer with us, but his wife may be so will send by PM

Member Since: March 2011 Posts: 37 Send Message	It took so long to get that message posted, this site freezes constantly for me! Sorry. So, the 1911 one is correct and so is 1901, he's a product of Joe and Emily. So he's Harry Dixon Bamforth? And was his mothers maiden name Coles? Your'e all brilliant, thanks so much!!

Member Since: March 2011 Posts: 37 Send Message	Again I seem to have hit a delay with this thing...
Member Since: September 2006 Posts: 34,375 Send Message	Mike *	Report	23 Mar 2011 22:59
	No. He married Coles. That was Gerald's mother's maiden name.

	Working off the fact that he had a son Gerald. There's a birth for Gerald with mother's mn Coles. and a marriage for Harry D Bamforth to Miss Coles. Harry D was born in Huddersfield ( as per poster's info) albeit a year different but that's par for the course with census data. Or have been mislead ?

Member Since: March 2011 Posts: 37 Send Message	That's all correct I think. Here's what I know for sure: He was 12 on the 1911 census listed with my GG Gprts as 'adopted' He was 02 on the 1901 census listed with his parents, the only Harry D I could find matched the Birth record for him. Mike*, on this marriage record, who are John and Elizabeth? >>>>>Bamforth Joseph Edwin - Huddersfield 9a 447 >>>>>Dyson Emily - Huddersfield 9a 447 Grimstone John Huddersfield 9a 447 Redfearn Elizabeth Huddersfield 9a 447 the marriage records you have seem more detailed than anything I've found searching this site...

	John and Elizabeth are just the other marrying couple who share the same page on the record. Sorry, should have editted them out to avoid confusion.

Member Since: March 2011 Posts: 37 Send Message	So I now have all his info and can build a record for him, and I should now be able to find out what happened to his parents and sister, possibly... I'm amazed, thanks so much everyone.

Member Since: March 2011 Posts: 37 Send Message	Oh, I see, where are you getting your marriage records if you don't mind me asking?
Member Since: September 2006 Posts: 34,375 Send Message	Mike *	Report	23 Mar 2011 23:31
	Always check on freebmd for certificated records from 1837 to about 1945 ( not all transcribed yet ) LINK http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl

	Just to toss in my belated two cents here -- has anyone mentioned a second marriage for Gerald and the fact that his wife is still on the electoral roll in 2011? It seems Gerald himself has died, between 2008 and the present.
