	You need the marriage cert..........it's the only way you will make any headway.

He and Mary E Lunn married in 1916 in Huddersfield and had Winifred (only child - my grandmother) in 1916. Sorry, it's all I know at the moment...

	I've just checked 1901, using the decoder.....there is no household which includes a George and Edward born 1890+/- 2yrs Who informed you that these two were actually twins?

	Are you assuming that they were born in Yorkshire? They may not have been..........place of marriage is no real indicator of place of birth.....especially during wartime

	Are you descended from George? do you know when he died? His death record could give useful info, in particular an age at death. Otherwise, can you say what your connection with these people is? There's a reason you're looking for them -- related to them somehow, one assumes. For others to try searches, you really need to give us the same info you have, whatever it is. For instance, where did the c1890 birth year come from? GB is right, if you're starting cold, you need to start with the known: the marriage certificate.

	1916 marriage cert would be the obvious way to go. It would at least give some idea of his age, occupation and the name & occupation of his father

Member Since: March 2011 Posts: 37 Send Message	got to a dead end again... this time I'm looking for George and Edward Sykes born c1890. George married Mary Lunn in 1916 in Huddersfield - I found that record. Edward died in some kind of railway accident, but I'd like to know if he ever married. I can't find any birth records for a George and Edward, would assume they'd be on the same page of the record.... Can't find them on any census assuming they'd be on 1891, 1901 and 1911 Any help appreciated! Thanks
