Hi Andy,

Not sure if right Rebecca now the one I'm look for was born abt 1859 maiden name Belshaw and the only one that fits is this one they married March Otr 1900, maybe now best to look for the Belshaw children named on 1911 census on 1891 & 1901 census.

I found 2 records for 1891 census for Rebecca Belshaw one says she was in Nottingham Prison RG12, Piece 2700 folio 94 pg 1, found on freecen and one says Nottingham Workhouse RG12, Piece 2700, folio 105, Pg 3 both with daughter Ellen aged 8 months so must be same person on both.

Wendy

But thos ages don't match up at all. They're basically the same age in 1881 and 1901. I think she named her children after her siblings?

Hi
You are all to quick for me crossed post, well I did have a phone call while I was typing and you all answered my question first.

Like I say I have the 1891 census for the workhouse with Rebecca with Ellen but not the other children
Had a look for christenings and the only one I could find was a Anne Belshaw daughter of Rebecca 31 Dec 1896 abode was 24 Commerce Street which is the Street Rebecca lived on from 1861-1881 census.

Wendy

Hi Wendy

If you check back to the 1891 census I posted, Rebecca and her children are together but on different pages.

Prickles.

Hi all,

Got it went back to freecen and I didn;t realise that when you click on the person looking for it came up at first folio and on the folio for Rebecca.

So she had a number of legitimate children but where are they in 1901?

Wendy

Hi All,

I'm being thick today Frank & Laura are with Rebecca in 1901 sorry abt that.

Going back to the 1911 census says theres a Rose Belshaw aged 22yrs cannot find anything on her thought she might be Frank's wife but cannot find a marriage. Any ideas.
