OK...arrived today. Albert Nicholson Hartley born 17 December 1889 and registered 27 January 1890

Mother Sarah Hartley formerly Cox

Father John Richard Hartley, Carter

So it IS my Albert in 1901.

But what of a wedding for Sarah Ann Cox and John Richard Hartley?

Or a death for him between conception and 1891 census when she was widowed?

Happy Days :-)

Thanks everyone. I only started looking at this little conundrum yesterday, so in answer to the question about whether I am in touch with the other person on Ancestry...no. I had wondered if it said aged 1. The 1901 census in Lower Mitton looks hopeful - I'll have a dig today

Thanks all

Jude :-)

can I just sort this out to be readable first please ?


My gg-grandmother Eliza Lashford first married Henry Cox in 1858 and they had four children;

Sarah (Ann?) 1859,
Herbert Alfred 1862,
Fanny Hariett 1866
and John James 1870.

Henry died in 1871 and Eliza remarried to Richard Dunford.I don't think they married until 1877 by which time they had had

Ann Elizabeth (1874-5)
and Sarah (Ellen?) 1875
followed by Richard James in 1878.

Richard senior died in 1879.

In the 1891 census, I find

Eliza (Dunford) Head,
Richard Dunford and John Cox (sons)
and Sarah Hartley daughter
with Albert Hartley son (born 1885 Bradford Yorkshire).

From the age, this is Sarah Cox. I can't find a marriage for her and in 1901 census - living in Edgbaston, she is widowed.




so ... you are looking for a marriage of Sarah Cox to Hartley

and as you seem to have found at freebmd ... there isn't one in the right area :-)

... unless there is a mistranscription somewhere maybe


this one does seem unlikely

Marriages Mar 1885
Charlton Mary Anne Fulham 1a 294
> Cox Sarah Fulham 1a 294
? HARTLEY Charles Fulham 1a 294
Parry Walter Fulham 1a 294

and there is a Walter Parry 1862 with wife Sarah in Fulham in 1881 and eldest child aged 5 so probably that Hartley married Charlton.



it can be important to know exactly what the census says, this is the 1891


Name: Sarah Dunford
[Sarah Hartley]
( Ancestry incorrectly called her Dunford the image says Hartley for her and Albert )
Age: 31
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1860
Relation: Daughter
Mother's name: Eliza Dunford
Gender: Female
Where born: Stourport, Worcestershire, England

Civil parish: Kings Norton

Eliza Dunford 57
Richard Dunford 13
John Dunford 21
Sarah Dunford 31
Albert Dunford 6 >>>> does it say 1 or 6 on the image ?


you are in touch with the other person who corrected both records to Hartley ?


if the census does say age 6 for Albert there are several possible births in Bradford reg dist

you might have to get more than one birth certificate but you should be able to find the one whose mother is Sarah Cox to get the father's name

do you know more about Albert, did he marry, do you know who he married and could you get that certificate to see his father's name ?
