Do you have the marriage information of Lucy and Henry, it would help to know her fathers name and occupation. Bev

Lucy's marriage ref: Surname Forename Spouse District Page No Event Quarter Year Siddall Arthur Dobbs Chorlton.8c 1253 Marriage 4 1917 The corresponding entry is Lucy DOBBS If you buy this marriage certificate you get her father's name and occupation and her age at time of marriage. Pete

This is the only Lucy Dobbs in Manchester in 1901.... Name: Lucy Dobbs Age: 7 Estimated birth year: abt 1894 Relation: Daughter Father's name: Samuel Mother's name: Jane Gender: Female Where born: Manchester, Lancashire, England Civil parish: South Manchester Ecclesiastical parish: All Saints County/Island: Lancashire Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Education: Employment status: View image Registration district: Chorlton Sub-registration district: Chorlton upon Medlock ED, institution, or vessel: 52 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 60 Household Members: Name Age Eliza Dobbs 13 Emily Dobbs 15 James Dobbs 24 Jane Anne Dobbs 17 Lucy Dobbs 7 Jane Williamson 49 Samuel Williamson 48 Georgina.

This looks like the Lucy Dobbs on the 1901 census birth reference, you need to buy the marriage certificate to check fathers names & occupations. Births Mar 1894 (>99%) Dobbs Lucy Chorlton 8c 899 Georgina.

This could be Henry's birth... Births Mar 1896 (>99%) Siddall Henry Arthu Chorlton 8c 801 Georgina.

Christopher what were their addresses on the marriage certificate, was there no fathers name for Lucy & what was Charles Siddall's occupation?
