just forked out to find out parents of edith hickmott born in 1910, only to find out that at the age of 1 she was living with a diffrent family. she was listed as a boarder, is this normal? does this mean she is not a relative or adopted? she is down as a hickmott all the others are woolgars.

Hi Victoria,

I have found neices and nephews shown as boarders so Edith may be with family. Edith may not have been living with the family but just staying at the house on the night the census was taken.

You should have spent your money on a certificate.

i've searched free bmd for marrages between woolgars and hickmotts but theres none found. previous woolgar census show no other hickmotts living with them. was really hoping to find some info as it was much cheeper than a certificate, oh well it was worth a try, jim thanks for info i will order a certificate at somepoint however i'm on a strict budget so looks like i'll be waiting a while for my answers!!!! thanks all for your help.

Just a thought, it could be that Mrs Woolgar and Mrs Hickmott were sisters, therefore you would find a Woolgar/Hickman marriage, but a Woolgar/"Smith" (or whatever) marriage and a Hickmott/"Smith" one.

Maybe if you post names and places, someone on here may be able to help.

in 1911 the woolgars william was 26 and florence was26, from small reserch her maiden name was a butler? census said they had been married 7 years.
