I am trying find the whereabouts of William Pirt born 1863 Bury St Edmunds Suffolk.
I can find him on the 1881 census spelt as Pearte and he was a milkman and on the 1939 census he is living with Lewis Cooper my grandfather. it says he is an old age pensioner and widowed. but nothing on 1901 and 1911. I would like to know who he married too.
Thank you .

1874 his father died

Oh he was John William, maybe dropped the John name as his father was called John.

Here's Jane in 1881:

Jane Pirts
in the 1881 England Census
Name: Jane Pirts
Age: 46
Estimated birth year: abt 1835
Relationship to Head: Head
Gender: Female
Where born: Gloucestershire, England
Civil Parish: Bury St Edmunds St James
County/Island: Suffolk
Country: England
Street address: 2 Bakers Terrace
Marital Status: Widow
Registration district: Bury St Edmunds

Household Members:
Name Age
Jane Pirts 46
James Pirts 26
Arith Pirts 18
John Pirts 15
Fredk. Pirts 10

William apparently not with them then. I'm not sure what the name transcribed as Arith is meant to be - but the age would be pretty much correct for William, and that person fits between James and John, as William did in 1871 census.

No me neither, there was a Henry Purt born to them in Bury St Edmunds who was born in 1869,but I can't find a birth for him . he was known as harry later on. He wasn't in any of the census either, with his parents.

Thank you Chris and all. I'm even more confused. One baptism say 1863 another 1864.

Chris Ho :) Report 16 Dec 2016 18:33

That's why you would need to see Baptism entry, to check...(or they might be able to do it for you)
