Hi Karen I would apprieciate any help you can give.

I have found my GG Grandparents in 1901 census
They are Walter James Mitchell born 1870 London Kentish Town. Mary A Nelson born 1873-1965 Wednesbury Staffordshire.
Any info on BMD's for them would be great.
Also I think ive found Walters father but cant be certain until I can sent for certs. Would you mind doing a look up for him too please? Walter Mitchell c1851.
Ive found more than 1 but have 1 married to a Louisa Watererc1852. Think im on the right track!!!

Many thanks Sue

Hi Karen,
Thanks for the extra info. on my Hartley. Karen can you explain one thing to me please. On the 1891 census it says John is age 31 and born in 1860 and Mary is 33 and born (I'm guessing) 1858. On the 1881 census it says John is 29 and born 1852 and Mary is 25. Am I reading something wrong or do you think it's a very common error. Would appreciate your thoughts. I just know their mine.

Kind regards

Mary

i typed the message and got interrupted by phone. When i came back i knew i was going to add something else but couldn't figure it out - his other names - doh! Sorry about that.

Is there any chance i can get the birth places of his parents? Thanks very much

Hi Karen

Would you please be able to check 1851 census for Ann England born in Crich, Derby and about 38 years old. Husband Benjamin, also born in Crich Derby but not sure of his age. Also Mary England born Leeds about 1850ish. I think Mary was born at Ingles Row, Leeds, West Yorkshire and that's where they were on 1861 census although Benjamin was deceased.

Kind regards

David and Danielle

Neil Report 21 Nov 2007 21:30

Karen - Looks like a near certain possibility. I don't have his birth cert yet (on my list to order) but he was registered in the 3rd quarter of 1859 so almost certainly will have only been 1 when the census was taken. Also checked freeBMD and mine is the only one from that time period born in the right place.

Thanks again Karen,

Apologies, pushing my luck here, but are you able to look at the actual image for 1901 census John Shallcross?. When I looked up his marriage on Free BMD there is no Sallie Shallcross match. The only female listings is a Kate or Sarah.
Maybe Ancestry mistranscribed?

I really appreciate your help. Let me know if I can help you with any Australian lookup/queries.

Bye for now Helen

Hi Karen,

Please can you lookup 1861 census for George Cross b1859 COLYTON Devon England. I am looking for details of his parents/siblings. Would especially be interested in birthplaces for parents so i can check back further.

Thanks.

Hi Karen, sorry to be so vague, I'm not sure where they were born but rumour has it it was Manchester way and I would guess they were born about 1860 maybe 1870 ish. Can you help.

Hi Karen,

Now looking for the other side :-)

1891 & 1901 Census

John Deakin Shallcross born 1879, Leek, Staffordshire

on 1891 Ancestry he is listed as John D Shallcross born abt 1879

on 1901 Ancestry he is listed only as John, but it looks like he has moved to Derbyshire.

How's the footie, we are in the middle of cricket down here.

bye Helen
