Hi June,

Perhaps you could post the 1901 for Henry Pickett in Hunslet and we could see what you mean?

I know the 1901 census is definately the Henry Pickett I am looking for but not sure about the 1911 ??
I know he ended up in St Helens but not sure what year ?

MarieCeleste

MarieCeleste Report 7 Oct 2011 20:33

June, is he a direct ancestor or are you following a family branch?

If we have an idea of what else you know it might help.

** What was his occupation when he married your gran?

June

June Report 7 Oct 2011 20:52

No I think he left Alice and William Henry soon after he was born I think William Henry was with Grandparents in 1911
Where was the Henry Pickett in 1911 - Napier Street, St Helens born ?

MarieCeleste

MarieCeleste Report 7 Oct 2011 20:54

June, if you look at the census Ginny posted you'll see he was born in St Helen's.

This marriage in 1917 is interesting, look at father's name and occupation:

Liverpool, Lancashire, England, Marriages and Banns, 1813-1921

Name: Harry Wilde
Birth Year: abt 1888
Age: 29 < Widower, Electrician of 18 Langdale Street

For what it is worth - I think the 1911 Henry had parents Henry + Elizabeth so I really do not think he is 'your' Henry !!

MarieCeleste Report 7 Oct 2011 21:25

I really think the "Harry Wilde" in St Helen's in 1911 is her man! The birthplace is given as Chesterton but I think it should be Chesterfield (which I think Staveley is part of).

The fact the marital status is blank is also suspicious.

Hi June

You asked for Henry Pickett 1888 living in Napier St....thats what I posted

Then you throw in all sorts of other information which I cant make head or tail of.

Can you go back a step, how have you got to Henry Pickett? Start with the facts, ie things you have certificates for and we might be able to help you, other wise you'll end up following the wrong line

Hi,

I know that Henry Pickett was born in Stavely Derbyshire in 1888, his father was William Pickett,Brushmaker and Mother Isabella.
The details of the 1901 Census are correct for Windsor Terrace.
He married Alice Ann Ruddock in 1907 and a son William Henry was born in 1908.
Shortly after William Henry was born (not sure when ) he left Hunslet and
in 1917 I know that he married my Grandma as Harry Wilde, I have a copy of this marriage certificate and know that he is shown here as a widower and fathers name William Wilde (both incorrect facts at that time).
I am trying to find out what happened to him between 1908 and 1917
