Find Ancestors

Sorry, I am just posting the 1891, when I said I would let you look for them, but as it confirms what I found, I do not want you to follow the wrong people.

As you will see I found them under Shirland in 1881 and Sterland in 1891 - this is how the people transcribing the census has decided it has been written and/or how the enumerator has written down the surname.

All right, I will stop looking now, and wait for your comments.

Hope this has helped.

Get the certificates, please.

I think this is your Charles in 1881, so you definitely need that birth certificate:

Where did you find the information about Emily?

Just putting the 1911 census for reference:

If Charles was born in 1872, then I doubt that his mother was born in 1859, as she would be only 13 when she had him.

Welcome to the boards, Tui.

The birth of Charles is showing on free bmd:

Births Sep 1872
STIRLAND Charles Samuel Basford 7b 99

If you want to know if anyone else is researching the family then use Search/Search All Member Trees tab, top right, to find them.

I always think it is essential to buy the birth and marriage certificates to help sort out your ancestors.

Have you got full access to the censuses, as it is far more interesting if you look up the family yourself, not have someone on here copying over lots of information for you?

This looks like Charles's death:

Deaths Mar 1941
Stirland Charles S 68 Southwell 7b 768
(also found on free bmd)
If you get the death certificate, the informant may be a family member, which can help with identifying family members.

Hi, Just wondering if there is anyone researching this family. I have found the details of Charles Samuel Stirland b 1873 approx and Sarah Ann Hanson born 1873 and died 13 May 1938. Charles Samuel's parents appear to be William Stirland and Emily Stirland nee Allen born 1859. their other children seen to be William born 1877, Lizzie (Maybe Sarah E), Annie, Polly, Clara. After that I get stuck and may be following the wrong leads. I think I might need the birth certificate of Charles Samuel Stirland and Sarah Ann Stirland. Any help is appreciated.
