I have an Elsie Sproat b1912 Sheffield died 1929 Shefffield Mothers name Edgar. the only Sproats in Sheffield (I believe) in 1901 was a James and Mary from Wigton and Allerby Cumberland with son Stanley b c1896. Marriages in Wigton in March 1896 include Mary Edgar and James Sproat. there is a big gap between 1896 and 1912 ...could these be her parents and are there any more children. Also altho' I can find Mary in Cumberland I can't find James. Can anyone help please Jacqui |

There's only one marriage for an Edgar to a Sproat so that has to be them. Rose |

Does appear to be but it is such a big gap which is why I wondered about more children. Elsie died in childbirth to Margery and would have been my Gran. Thanks for looking and the info Jacqui |

To find out if James and Mary had more kids you'll need to wait until the 1911 census comes out. If they stayed in Sheffield until then I don't see any births. Rose |
