Finally tracked down my grandad. A Clayson from Wrexham married a Clayson from Northampton. Do not know much more so need help please :-\

Do you have the MC?

If so, could you please give the details with the hope that we can either find them on Census, or alternatively, their birth registrations.

All of the details help with the research

No I have not got any Cert's yet its taken me nearly 8 years to get this far with him. :0(( He is a real mystery and all my dads siblings have all passed away

Is this them 1911 maybe?? But too old to be your grandparents I would say!!

You need to say what info you have for certain - birth of one of their children for example..

No thats not them. The Elizabeth Clayson (his mum) later went on to marry Thomas Ives. But I cannot find a death of a C Clayson in the right period.
In the 1901 census they are in northampton and grandad was a groom. Think it might have been Kingsthorpe.

Think that samuel could be Elizabeths brother. It looks about right.

I am really confused! What are your grandparents' names? Who is C. Clayson??
Jan

Not sure what info you are after exactly?

For timing:

Marriages Sep 1889 (>99%)
Clayson Elizabeth Northampton 3b 155
IVES Thomas Northampton 3b 155

I think that A Clayson is meant to be a Clayson in the opening post giving no initials?

So this must be them??

Elizabeth was single until she married Thomas Ives in 1889... So if you are looking for a death of her first husband you will not find one

The George Clayson Ives is my grandad and the Joseph Ives is my late father although he was born in 1910.
Grandad was born George Clayson. His mum Elizabeth came from Wrexham with her siblings Samuel and harriet . All I know about his birth father is that his name was probably Charles Clayson.
That is where I am stuck . Its taken me years to get this far.
Both sides of my late mother's family I have traced back to the early 1700's and the Ives to the late 1700's.
But now I'm trying to research my grandads birth fathers family.
All the help your giving me is greatly appreciated.

Malc :0))

Your gt grandmother was not married when your grandfather was born so he was registered as Clayson, but he obviously took his step fathers name when he married and on later census's.

If there is a C.Clayson named as his father it is possably a made up name

jax

Hi Jax

I have often wondered if that was the case but could never be sure..
I really appreciate your help.

Fanny married one of the following two men

Surname Forename Church / Register Office Registers At Reference
CLAYSON Fanny Wrexham, Civil Marriage Wrexham County Borough (Wrexham) WM/020/93
Surname Forename Reference
CHARLES Mary WM/020/93
HUGHES Joseph WM/020/93
RANDLES Edward WM/020/93

If you look at the 1881 census I gave you it says Elizabeth Clayson Single living as a lodger with her 3 year old son Edward

I have seen that one Jax thank you but then it gets confusing when you check grandads birth record on line. Thats where I get stuck and need help. I suppose the easiest way is to go to Northampton and check through the records myself.
