Hi i have found my Si/ydney Vincent on the 1901 census Ref: RG13/2222/59/7. There is only one Sidney Vincent born in the same place and year as 1901 on the 1891 census ref: RG12/1830/39/9. Do you think this is the same person? If you give me a minute i will put them on here. Thanks Jen

Ozibird on the 1901 census Elizabeth is a widow. So that would show what happened to Henry. Am just checking on the others. jen

hiya Jen, do you know for certain who is his mother? is the 1901 a widow? have you traced them any further backwards? sorry for all the questions, just that need to get it in me head, so i know where i'm going Julie

Hi Julie yes the 1901 is a widow. I know that the 1901 census is right as it has his correct siblings. I know that it isn't his mother in law as she was called Catherine. Thanks Jen

Ozibird i am going to order his birth cert next week when i get paid. I thought that i might be able to look a little further back though as it says on the 1901 census that his mother is called Elizabeth. Jen

Sydney in 1901 is born Falmouth he's living with his mother Elizabeth a widow aged 57 born St Ewe Cornwall his sister Elsie 12 and Lily 10 both born Truro Sidney in 1891 is born Falmouth his mother Georgina aged 40 is born Osmlyton Mills Devon his sisters Linda aged 6 and Margaret E aged 1 are both born Truro I wouldn't be convinced as the mothers details are so different

I have found the marriage between Henry and Georgenia. Her maiden name is Polwin. Just looking for a birth to see if Georgenia or Elizabeth could be a middle name. Jen

She was called Georgina there is no middle name written down so i think i could be barking up the wrong tree. Jen

Do you think that Elizabeth could actually be the grandma as she would of been 40 when she had one of the children! I think i am going to have to wait until i get the certificate as it looks like it is going to be like finding a needle in a hay stack. All this Vincent family has done is cause me trouble since day one of researching it. I wouldn't be surprised if Sydney went and grew up with his aunt who he called mum or something by what has happened so far with this family. Will let you know when i get the cert. Sorry for wasting your time. Jen
