Find Ancestors

Hi If you would like a census lookup please post details here and I will do what I can for you..I always transcribe from the image so you will get the info as written on image as sometimes mistakes are made when it has been transcribed. Ok post away will do what I can Zoe

Jan You have not put any birth years if you have them in 1881 could you please post those details Thanks Zoe

Hi Zoe, I'd so much appreciate your having a look for Carter in the 1901 Census for me. Head - Walter Carter (born in Kent) Wife - Annie (possibly) Dau - Elsie Elizabeth born Feb 1887 (died 1959 aged 72) Son - Sidney Carter Son - Gordon Carter Hampshire, Southampton area I can't even find Elsie Elizabeth's birth on the Ancestry FreeBMD (Beta) only her marriage in 1913 in Thanet and death in 1959, Worthing, West Sussex. Hand on heart I promise I'm not being lazy! I've been searching for absolutely ages over the last few months and wonder if they've perhaps been mistranscribed. Thank you, Cherry

Oh Zoe - You're absolutely brilliant! Thank you so much! You've found them! Mother in law and I have been pouring over the information like a couple of kids, she's 89 and as excited as I am! She says, 'I can quite understand now why you find it all so fascinating, do say thank you from me to the kind lady, how lovely and thoughtful of her to give up her time to help others.' Well, there you have it, a massive thank you from us both, can't show enough appreciation! Cherryx

Hi Zoe, I wonder if you can find this family for me in 1861, I have them here in 1871, Not sure if Thomas Collins (Head) came over from Ireland earlier but as son Peter was born in 1869 he must have. I also want to check Mary A (wife) birth place on all other census it said she was born in Scotland, not Berwick- Upon -Tweed. Thanks for your help. Betty 1871 Mary A Collins abt abt 1844 Berwick-Upon-Tweed Wife Durham Peter Collins abt abt 1869 Benfieldside, Durham, England Son Durham Phillip Collins abt abt 1870 Benfieldside, Durham, England Son Durham Thomas Collins abt abt 1841 Ireland Head Durham Margaret Tracy abt abt 1849 Tyrone, Ireland Lodger

Hi Zoe, Did you have a chance to look for my Thomas Collins in the 1861 census please. Betty

James abt 1878 John abt 1843 John Tho abt 1870 Mary abt 1852 Mary C abt 1880 Parents born Ireland, children Liverpool lt is the only Maguire's with a mary C at the right age. l live in hope of sorting them Thanks in advance Regards Pam

THANKS Zoe they are the right people :-) Adam

Ancestry is playing up at the moment will do the request's once I can get back on Zoe

Betty There are 17 Thomas collins b1841 +/- 2 born Ireland and 2 in the Durham area, But obviously you will not know the correct one and it maybe neither of them Thomas Collins abt 1839 Ireland Son Bishopwearmouth Durham Thomas Collins abt 1843 Ireland Boarder Monkwearmouth Durham Do you have his marriage cert to his wife as this would be real handy now for his fathers name Zoe

Pamela Do you have the address which was on the marriage cert? As she maybe at that address in 1901 and then we can be sure of parents ages ect Just having a look at 1891 Zoe
