Find Ancestors

Thanks, Cheryl. I was hoping there might have been a larger family, but those two are all I can find. Regards, Kev

Hi Cheryl Would you please look in the 1901 Census for Wigan for Thomas Whitehead aged about 5 years old and born in Wigan. He may be with his father John Robert( died 1901) or just with his mother - sorry don't know her name. Not a lot to go one but that's all I have I'm afraid. Look forward to hearing from you John

Hi Cheryl had a look at the one you sent me but I dont think thats him.Have they finished doing all the census records or is there more to come.Seems really wierd that I can find him on 1841 and 1861 but not 1851.As a matter of fact cant find any members of the family and they all cant be visiting somewhere.Never mind keep up the good work.Going to take another painkiller.Having tooth out tmoz then I can call myself pegless pimbley!!.Wanda.X

Hello Cheryl Thanks for your very kind offer to help with census look ups. I am interested to find the following family in 1861 Scottish Census ( I think for Hutchesontown - Glasgow ) Parents - John Stewart b. 1841 age abt. 20 & Jessie Stewart Children - William Williamson Stewart b. 1855 age 5 or 6 James Stewart b. 1857 age 3 or 4 Robert Stewart b. 1859 age 1 or 2 Margaret Stewart b. 1861 few months Fairly sure these were all living in Hutchesontown, Glasgow as I have some info. regarding their births there from IGI site. Also have some info. from old family bible that ties in with that site ok. Thanks for your help it is much appreciated. Regards Jim

Hi Cheryl Re my Whiteheads - OK so far - Looking forward to 1901 as I am dying to know who he married and if they had a son Thomas. Thanks for what you have done so far Regards John

Hi Cheryl RE: Just to clarify (i'm a bit thick sometimes) His name was Charles Hall Phillips or Charles Herbert Phillips. His fathers name was Charles Hall, so i am assuming his parents did not marry and the Phillips part is her maiden name. That's it. Why they can't all have the same names and make things easy!!!! lol It looks like you've found his father for me. My Great Grandad (Charles H Phillips) funeral was held at Warslow Church, so it all appears to be connected. If you don't mind and you get the chance would you mind seeing if you could see them on any of the other census for me? We don't know much about this side of the family at all. His first wife died very young and left him with a number of children. Some got put into care, etc, so as they grew up didn't talk about him. Now only 2 of his children (my Great Aunt and Uncle) are alive but refuse to talk about their father (Charles H Phillips), so anything else you manage to find would be wonderful. Thanks for all your help. Dawn

Hi John Here is John Roberts father in 1901, no family with him Name: Thomas Whitehead Age: 64 Estimated birth year: abt 1837 Relation: Inmate Gender: Male Where born: Wigan, Lancashire, England Civil parish: Wigan Ecclesiastical parish: All Saints County/Island: Lancashire Country: England Registration district: Wigan Sub-registration district: Wigan ED, institution, or vessel: Wigan Union Workhouse Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 1 Deaths Mar 1901 ------------------------- Whitehead John Robert 29 Wigan 8c 38 Thre 1901 Census took place on the 31st March 1901, so bearing in mind John Roberts death I don't think you will find him and his son together on the census.

Hi Cheryl Thanks for the info re my Whiteheads - all of that which you have sent is useful - pity about Thos born 1896 not appearing in the 1901 census, it must be a transcription or some such thing as I am sure that he was still alive at that time. Thanks again John

Hello Cheryl Thanks for what you have found about the Steuarts ( Stewarts ) Have PM,d you with some questions. But generally I am wondering if 1861 Census gives info. about relationships per each person and places of birth. ( hopefully more than simply - outside census county ). What you have found has unravelled a knotted ancestral ball. Although the ages seem way out they aren't. What is showing is a second marraige for John Stewart to Jessie Williamson. Also showing is 2 children from previous marraige - Marion Stewart b. 6th July 1849 - age 11 and also John Stewart b. 24th Oct 1841 - age 19. ( I had thought it was the son John who married Jessie ) but the ages have shed more light on that. The father John was born 1811 making him 50 in 1861.....I had found him on 1841 Census married to Isabella. Will now be searching for the death date of first wife - Isabella Finlay. Does 1861 show relationships and places of birth ? Kind Regards Jim

Hi Christmas Could this be him? 1861: Name: Ralph Smith Age: 11 Estimated birth year: abt 1850 Relation: Son Father's name: William V Mother's name: Ann Gender: Male Where born: Sunderland, Durham, England Civil parish: Bishopwearmouth Ecclesiastical parish: St Andrew County/Island: Durham Country: England image Registration district: Sunderland Sub-registration district: North Bishop Wearmouth ED, institution, or vessel: 8 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 329 Household Members: Name Age Ann Smith 52 Born Leicester Ralph Smith 11 Born Sunderland William V Smith 53 Born Sunderland 1851: Name: Ralph Smith Age: 1 Estimated birth year: abt 1850 Relation: Son Mother's name: Ann Gender: Male Where born: Bishop Wearmouth, Durham, England Civil parish: Bishopwearmouth Ecclesiastical parish: Deptford St Andrew County/Island: Durham Country: England Registration district: Sunderland Sub-registration district: North Bishop Wearmouth ED, institution, or vessel: 3h Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 281 Household Members: Name Age Ann Smith 41 Listed as married Husband with them John J Smith 17 Ralph Smith 1 William Venus Smith 15 Regards Cheryl

Thankyou Cheryl .....

Hi Cheryl Only if your not too busy I'd appreciate a look up (if poss) details of: SHEM HEARNDEN born c1769 married to Mary Holiday c1772, they had 3 daughters (i think ) mary, Sarah and Ann ,he was registered in the 1851 Channel Islands census, I'm trying to trace his movements and family, I'm pretty sure he was my 4 x's great grandfather Kind regards Vaughny x

If you dont mind, could I have a 1841 lookup for John Wood born 1823 in Knottingley, Yorkshire? I know nothing else about his family, except in later life he was a potter, so maybe his father was.

Hi Vaughny Found him in 1841 with either another wife or his sister.
