See below... Thanks all.

Surname Osgathorpe present in multiple families Notting Hill, Kensington, Paddington 1871, 81 and 91 ..... 1901 - totally gone. Its not the Notts or Yorks families. Specifically I need a Samuel Osgathorpe. I think theres a possible link error on Ancestry, cos clicking on a similar name pulled up a 'wildcard' error. Any help appreciated.

Hi I have found a family of Osgathorpes in London. Albert Osgathorpe 33 Paper Hanger Notting Hill, London Matilda Osgathorpe 32 Birmingham Robert Albert Osgathorpe 8 Hampstead, London Address in 1901 was 7 Pembridge Gardens, Kensington, London No Samuel in 1901 though, sorry. Hope this helps. Victoria

Thanks all - Ive got all those now. Did anybody else get a weird link in Ancestry ? Try OSG* wildcard, and click on Henry OSG.... it takes you out into the boonies. Damn, where is Samuel and Harriet and kids Frederick and Samuel ? Here they are in 1891:- Name Age in 1891 Birthplace Relationship to head-of-house parish ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Osgathorpe, Fredrick 3 Paddington, Middlesex Son Paddington London Osgathorpe, Harriett 27 Kensington, Middlesex Wife Paddington London Osgathorpe, Samuel 29 Kensington, Middlesex Head Paddington London - > Osgathorpe, Samuel 5 St Hayward, Staffordshire Son Paddington London The Staffs pob is rubbish btw !

Ah Richard Beat you that time! Lou

Lou!! you beat me again LOL

You even beat me with the 'beat ya' message LOL. Must be typing slow tonite...

I'm sure its late with you so I'll let you off! Lou

Ah but at least I put the source info... 'always state your sources' LOL

Laird Must apologise for hijacking your thread! Lou

Laird Looks as though Samuel junior was definitely born in Stafford, not Notting Hill!!!: Births Sep 1885 Osgathorpe Samuel Stafford 6b 23

And parents married in Wokingham: Marriages Jun 1884 GREEN Harriett Wokingham 2c 719 Osgathorpe Samuel Wokingham 2c 719

LOL - what a pair of stars ! It just proves that: 'once you've eliminated the impossible*, whatever's left - no matter how improbable has to be an option' *Impossible is that to err is human and to really err you need to be a transcriber ... Hey many thanks both, and ®ichard, nice work on the birth. Ahgain I'd totally discounted it as there seemed to be no way he would be associated with Staffs ! Really grateful - now GO AND FIND MY GRANDAD Horace Albert Laird Davison in 1901 census, if you can do that, I'll buy the beers ! Cheers !

As long as the offer extends to air-freighting a cask of Youngs Bitter to Perth Australia, I'm up for the challenge! So when was he born & where, your Horace??

Happy to do that via EggPay lol ! Info all in this thread 'Impressed by your detective work ....' http://www.genesreunited*co*uk/genesreunited.asp?wci=ThreadedBoard&bb_type=R&bb_orig_key=1993977 Thought we had a result, but its a bit dubious on reflection. See what you think !

bump back into sight so that the beer prize can be earned !

Laird I have about 250 Horace Dav* but can you give me a clue as to age /place of birth???
