Yep seen that one and for ages went down that route and ended up down the totally wrong tree until I obtained the marriage cert for one of Henry children. Have looked again on ancestry and in the 1901 and 1891 they are living on the same raod in Sheffield which is Burnell Road, can we trace just on road names anywhere?

Hi Joanne, The marriage certificate for one of Henry's children will not give you the mothers name, might be better getting the birth certificate for either Thomas or George as they seem the most likely two to be both Henry's and Emma's. Found this index looks good as they were living Ecclesfield in 1891 and Wortley covers that area.

Thanks Have found the road and it is still in Sheffield, infact it is round the corner a stones throw from where I was brought up. I think that it is Henry in the workhouse and that the family could have stayed in Birmingham whilst he came to Sheffield to look for work in the steel industry. Going to search in and around Birmingham for his wife and kids in 1881

You can search 1881 with just an address but I can't find Burnell Road for you I'm afraid.

Stumped with this Have double checked Henry's occupation on the 1901 and 1891 and his son's marriage cert and it is Tin plate maker the same as the one in the Sheffield workhouse in 1881 and his age and area he was born in is the same but can I find his wife and kids in 1881- nope!! we're the ashamed he was in the workhouse and just didn't do the census?? anyone's guess!!
