Member Since: May 2004 Posts: 1,067 Send Message	Can you please tell us John's occupation (and his father's) at time of his marriage. And the names of any children, if they had been born by 1901.

	They may have been mistranscribed. Where and when were they born?

Member Since: November 2003 Posts: 32 Send Message	I posted in Feb and got some possible ancestors (from info below) and I finally got to Doncaster FHS. I used their resources but there does not seem to be any record not in 1901 census. Where do I try now? Meehan family from Doncaster. John Thomas married Martha Vickers in 1899. His father was Thomas. Got all children from marriage and Vickers side of family.
