The latest census available is 1901 so if the couple were not married or living in the area at that time then you will not find them on there. Is this child the eldest? If not, who is the eldest child - hopefully one born before 1901? You need to find the marriage of this couple and buy the marriage cert to find their fathers names and occupations to trace them backwards. Unfortunately you have an Irish name there in Liverpool and fingers crossed it doesnt turn out he was from Ireland as thats when things get very difficult to trace. On freebmd there is this marriage - but a John Kelly not Thomas: Marriages Dec 1904 (>99%) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BREW Hannah W.Derby 8b 855 Kelly John W. Derby 8b 855 Sheridan Richard W. Derby 8b 855 Ward Mary W Derby 8b 855
