Snap I have to go for tea too.

I will look in later.

Thanks everyone for helping me.

The 1901 and 1911 for John and Alice look like my family. Not sure where Ethel fits in then. Maybe I will send for her birth cert and see what that shows.

I must have got the Liverpool bit wrong.

All the best

A tree on Ancestry says John Gray born 1877, Torksey married Alice Wiswould 2 Nov. 1898, Register Office, Lincoln. It has the marriage certificate. The tree however only has the 2 children Leonard & John.

Researching:
Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)

Sorry, hubby is hungry so need to go and make some tea. Will look back later.

Catherine Report 28 Jan 2015 17:52

Neither 1901 or 1911 cenus gives Alice's place of birth as Liverpool, so what makes you think that she was born there?

Catherine

Catherine Report 28 Jan 2015 17:47

Ooops, sorry was off looking for other possibilities.

Thanks Margee for answering Jane's question.

Sorry Catherine I do not have it to hand.

The reason I know they were living in Lincoln in 1901 was because I was going through the baptism records from 1899 to 1911 on line.

Thanks Catherine that is looking good.

Thank you for helping me. As far as I knew they only had two Leonard and John. However today I was looking through some parish records and it is possible that they had a child called Ethel. But she seems to have disappeared on the census. Ethel was born in 1901. She was baptised at St Faiths church Lincoln in 1901.

Did the 1911 census say that any of their children had died.?
Thanks again
Jane

Did they have any children in 1901?

I am looking for John and Alice Gray who were living in Lincoln in 1901. John was born 1874 in Lincolnshire and alice was born in 1883 in Liverpool.

I am interested in finding the names of their children and if any had died.

Thank you for your help
