Don't see Thomas' birth on FreeBMD.

Rose

Yes the last child was Thomas born 1914 in Derby. I cant understand how she can been listed under the school as a teacher but not on any census - any idea.

Great to have help.

Jan

Where there any children after Rosa? I'm not seeing any more Parker/Faulkner births which is odd seeing as she lists she's 33.

My laptop is out of power tonight, so I'm not able to get back to this discussion or read it properly.
Happy hunting

Many thanks everyone, I have lots of info after 1901 its the before thats the problem. Jonesey thats very helpful will E. Mail him, with luck he many know if the school records are at Birmingham or Warwickshire. I find it very strange that she is on info on the school but not on any census.

Patchem, I have so many dates of birth for my grandmother on census and wedding cert. She married Thomas Parker in 1901 age 23? same year census age 26 yrs? she died in 1964 aged 92 yrs? on some paperwork she said she was born at Barton & Walton (That was a train station) . I loved her to bits and will not give up till I trace her family.

Once again many thanks all.

Hi Madmeg
My grandmothers name was Clarissa Ellen Faulkner, not sure if it was Warickshire or Staffordshire as she told some little white lies.First found her on 1901 census at Rowditch workhouse Derby working in the school laundry.The same year she married my grandfather Thomas Parker in Derby, 3 months later my uncle was born!!. She always said she had teached, then I found her after just putting in her fist two names on page 60, it gave the info on the school with her name. The school was down as a boarding school so wondered if it was for children without family .Sorry it such a mess.
Many thanks for any help you can give.
Regards
Jan

Would you like to give us her name/date and place of birth? And parents if known.

Trying to find out if any history on the schools in Lozell Road in 1894 exist, found my grandmother on a schools list as a infants teacher. But unable to find her on any census until 1901.
Many thanks for any help.
