Trying to locate the following in 1911
George A Wilson born approx. 1888 - 1890 in Sheffield
Clara Wilson born approx. 1881 in Sheffield
Married each other in 1911 and had twins in 1918 Lily and Rose Wilson

Would appreciate a look up if possible on the 1911 census in Sheffield

Thanks in advance for any information

When in 1911 was the marriage?

What were the names of their fathers?

You could look on freebmd for their births for more accurate info, which would make searching a bit easier

Can't locate fathers as yet

I asked when, not where.....LOL!

Fathers will be named on marriage cert

Jacqueline

Jacqueline Report 4 Mar 2015 16:43

Did George really marry a woman 7 years older than himself?

Do you have birth cert(s) for the twins?

Looks like it - surviving daughter gave me the names of her parents but she can't remember her grandparents or what the A stood for in Georges middle name.
Maybe she was married before him and first husband died but again daughter of them has never said or mentioned this

When did George die?

Clara couldn't have been married before.......she married as Hobson, and that's the MMN on the births

Have you done any research?

Jessie aka Maddies mate Report 4 Mar 2015 16:51

Married Wilson - surviving daughters maiden name is Wilson

Jacqueline

Jacqueline Report 4 Mar 2015 16:54

I posted the marriage at 16.37....................had to look for it to know if they would have been married at the time of the census

No sorry I don't - need to send off for the marriage certificate and find out their fathers in order to progress

There are many Wilson births with mother's maiden name Hobson in Sheffield on FreeBMD starting in 1911 but too many to be the same family.

Jessie aka Maddies mate

Jessie aka Maddies mate Report 4 Mar 2015 17:12

I have seen all the births for Wilson in Sheffield to mothers maiden name of Hobson
Going to ring Lily the daughter later and ask about other siblings
