Find Ancestors

Hi
Can anyone find the above man on the 1911 census. He was born in Bispham on the fylde (Blackpool) in 1891.
Just trying to figure out how he came to meet his wife Dora Adams born in 1895 in I think Sussex. I am unable to find her on the 1911 census with her parents Frederick George Adams and St p mother Catherine Emma Adams nee Mitchell. They were living in Sussex and as she was still only approx 15had assumed she would be living with them. Can anyone find her on the 1911censuz. Actually she may have been born in chelsea as was her younger sister. She was also known as molly.
Thanks
Shirley :-)

Yes that's correct. Wondered how that came to be. She was born in Chelsea. Don't think her family lived in the North of England though her half brother Edward was born in Nelson Lancashire which I guess isn't that far from Blackpool.. And Dora violet Adams is not with her family on the 1911census. Think they are in Sussex still.

Some questions simply can't be answered

Kate obrien was her mum. Catherine Emma was Frederick Adams second wife. Yes they moved to Canada as did her other sister kitty also known as Kathleen. Kathleen was born in 1897. Both Jack Fenton and Dora died in Canada.
Have you been able to find John Fenton on the 1911census. I appreciate I've not given details of parents. There are also a few options in that area of fylde for a John Fenton. Will check to make sure I have not got John Fenton father name

Yes you are right. Thanks for finding John Fenton for me. Appreciate it. Ah, I did wonder if he'd been a farmer.
I'm later photos in Canada he looked like he was farming.
Thanks again

We are also trying to find what happened to Catherine Emma adams nee Mitchell. Frederick George Adams had at least three more children with Catherine Emma known as Emma before he died in 1933. She already had Edward from her first marriage to James Wilkinson,. Edward was born in Nelson. On the 1911census he was living with Frederick George and his mum Catherine Emma and was named as Edward Adams. He was actually Edward Wilkinson.
Then they had Frances (fanny) and Phyllis and George..
After this we do not know what happened to Catherine Emma Adams.
Is there any chance of finding her out there. She seems to like to change her name to be called Emma.
Thanks :-)
