Can anybody help please. Had information about my ggrandads death from army records, but no name of informant. Got cert from M/C Registry Office and it gives my ggran as informant. This was in 1941 when he was 74 and her 72. What i need is some help in finding ggran. Never been able to find her d.o.b never mind her death. If i give details would someone kindly help Susannah Fitzsimon nee Bryan according to 1901 census born Manchester. At time of ggrandads death lived in Ancoats, Manchester. Ann

Could this be the 1901 census James Fitzsimmons abt 1892 Egypt Son Manchester Lancashire Katie Fitzsimmons abt 1894 Manchester, Lancashire, England Daughter Manchester Lancashire Mary Fitzsimmons abt 1896 Manchester, Lancashire, England Daughter Manchester Lancashire Susanah Fitzsimmons abt 1868 Manchester, Lancashire, England Head Manchester Lancashire

I have found a birth of a Susannah Bryan in 1866 in Flintshire East - Hawarden. Does this sound like it could be her?

? 1881 census Mary Ann Bryan abt 1865 Manchester, Lancashire, England Niece Manchester Lancashire Susannah Bryan abt 1867 Manchester, Lancashire, England Niece Manchester Lancashire James Goodwin abt 1872 Manchester, Lancashire, England Son Manchester Lancashire James Thomas Goodwin abt 1849 Manchester, Lancashire, England Head Manchester Lancashire Margaret A.

Michael, Census info as requested, but it doesnt help at all. Susannah Fitzsimon, Head, 33, Manchester James Fitzsimon, Son, 9, born Egypt. Katie Fitzsimon, Daug. 7, born Manchester Mary Fitzsimon, Daugh, 5, born Manchester The reason she is Head of household is that my ggrandad was in the Boer War. Ann

Thanks to all who have given me all the info from past Census. I have all that already, its her d.o.b. i am trying to find and her death. As far as I know she was born in Manchester, but you never know. Could you give me more info on the Flintshire one. Thanks to all Ann

Ann - realise that you have probably got the census details already - sometimes it helps us to have it too. Having said this - it hasn´t helped this time!!

This would seem to be the marriage............ Susannah Bryan 1899 Apr-May-Jun Manchester (1837-1924) Lancashire View Record Alexander Fitzsimon 1899 Apr-May-Jun Manchester (1837-1924) Lancashire Volume: 8d Page: 450 Cert will tell you father's name............ Was she a second wife for Alexander? Reg

Susannah Bryan Year of Registration: 1866 Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep District: Great Boughton County: Cheshire, Flintshire Volume: 8a Page: 363 If you look on Cheshire BMD she is also on there.

Hi Reggie, Thanks for your help. I do have the marriage cert, but it doesn't say where born only where lived at time of marriage and then that is only a street. Still cant find birth from that. Yes she was Alexanders second wife, first wife died. Hi Emily, Thanks for the info about Flintshire. I will look on Cheshire bmd. Ann

I know the marriage cert doesn't give birthplace...............what does it say about her father? Reg

Hi Reggie, Sorry i wasn't trying to be funny. What i meant was, if i knew which area she was born in or where the street was it would give me a better idea where to look for birth. Her Father was a James Bryan, deceased at time of her marriage. Ann

No, I knew you weren't............don't worry. Did it give his occupation? Reg

Hi Reggie, On her marriage cert. It gives her Father as deceased, occupation cotton millhand. Ann
