I am trying to use findmypast.com and when ever I go into a search it goes all funny. Has anyine had that problem today. I trying to find a marriage between Wright Sutcliffe and Sarah Ann and I am finding it annoying

do you have approximate dates? JIm

I tend to use ancestry where i can - when and where is he likely to have married (if you want someone else to look)

Bascially he first got married to Louisa by the late 1890's but it seems by 1918 he married Sarah Ann. They would have got married in either Bradford or North Bierley area Cheers

so is this the first marriage - if so, it gives us a start date Surname First name(s) District Vol Page -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marriages Jun 1897 (>99%) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bates Louisa Bradford, Y. 9b 78 Davies Oswald Bradford, Y. 9b 78 Sutcliffe Wright Bradford, Y. 9b 78 Turner Annie Bradford, Y. 9b 78 Jim

here is a possible death - doeas age fit? Deaths Jun 1907 (>99%) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUTCLIFFE Louisa Ellen 46 N. Bierley 9b 123 Jim

Yes Jim you are right about the 1901 census. I was just looking at that to work out Lousia age

How confusing. I looked in the eletrol register in Bradford and noticed that there was a Sarah Ann mention in he 1918 register on Travis Farm where my family had being managing it for 30 years. 1918 was the last year that they managed there.

The family at Travis Farm in 1901 is the second one. Can send you the image if you send your email by PM, Jim

Thanks Jim for your help
