Trying to find Warren

Cherry Report 10 Jul 2007 22:15

Searching for information on my great-grandfather George Warren and his wife Margaret Jane (nee Jones, born Llanrwst). The 1901 census has them running the Gate Inn in the idyllic village of Kirk Ireton, Derbyshire, where they lived with my 16-year-old grandfather George Alexander Warren and his 13-year-old sister, Hannah S. Warren. In 1901 George Snr. and Margaret were 56 and 57 respectively - quite old to be the parents of children of 13 and 16 years - so they may have had earlier marriages and/or children - I've drawn a blank on their mariage certificate, and a search for Margaret Jones of Llanrwst ditto (Jones:Wales=needle:haystack!) Also a mystery is Hannah, whom I had no idea existed. My grandfather George Alexander had a tragic and lonely later life, (married Bertha, children George, Ronald Robert, Arthur Frederick - my Dad -and Margaret Ann) and I'd dearly like to find him lots of jolly childhood relatives! The family don't appear conclusively in the late 19th C. censuses (census, censes, censi? Take your pick.) I'm very new to this lark, so any suggestions (especially ones of the 'I can't believe I didn't think of that' variety) are welcome. Thank you for reading this, folks.
