Find Ancestors

Taking on board all your advice, I have found marriage cert for Harriet Hannah b 1906 and Benjamin Exley b 1904, this gives her fathers name- Amos Arthur Nunn, I think that Arthur had Harriet Hannah before he married Elizabeth Williams Hanson, as far as I can make out, but, Dolly was supposed to have been born 1925, the mind boggles to say the least, but at least you have all given me important info for my family tree.

This is the 1925 marriage for Benjamin and Harriet:

West Yorkshire, England, Marriages and Banns, 1813-1935

Birth Year: abt 1904
Marriage or Bann Date: 24 Dec 1925
Parish: South Kirkby, All Saints
Father's Name: Benjamin Exley - deceased
Spouse's Name: Harriet Hannah Nunn (19) - of 104 Clifford Street
Spouse's Father's Name: Amos Arthur Nunn - miner

Neither previously married.

Well done GlitterBaby - that confirms that Harriet was the child of Amos Arthur without having to buy the birth certificate.

Are you saying that the Amos who is on the 1911 census aged 1 was your grandfather?

If so then I can't understand that because there is this death in 1911 just after the census was taken:-

Name: NUNN, Amos
Registration district: Hemsworth
County: Yorkshire
Year of registration: 1911
Quarter of registration: Jul-Aug-Sep
Age at death: 1
Volume no: 9C
Page no: 256

I can't find the birth of another Amos Nunn in Yorkshire after that date.

Birth Year: abt 1906
Marriage or Bann Date: 24 Dec 1925
Parish: South Kirkby, All Saints
Father's Name: Amos Arthur Nunn - miner
Spouse's Name: Benjamin Exley
Spouse's Father's Name: Benjamin Exley


104 Clifford St.

Thank you all so much for your help, I will now have to get back to the drawing board with this info, thank you :-)

Pam

thank you Kath.

Patchem, the census is the correct one about my grandparents, I visited the house with my parents to see my dad's stepmother, well, housekeeper ( they had children including my aunt) they never married, she died 1988.

Possible death for the missing child:-

Name: NUNN, William
Registration district: Hemsworth
County: Yorkshire
Year of registration: 1910
Quarter of registration: Jul-Aug-Sep
Age at death: 0
Volume no: 9C

I'd put money on Harriet Hannah Nunn being the "Dolly" you are looking for. She married Benjamin Exley and died at a relatively young age (25). I'd be inclined to buy her birth certificate to determine whether Amos and Elizabeth were her parents.

Maybe my aunt has got them mixed up, well, she is 80yrs of age, thank you for that, I will ring my aunt tomorrow, my aunt is Dolly's half sister. same father, different mother.

Death of this Hannah:-

The certificate would give the cause of death.

I can find no female birth with surname Nunn, mother's name Hanson that has a name that can remotely resemble something that Dolly could be a permutation of. In fact I can find no female birth at all that matches.

Gatelady, what are your sources?
