Hi Deryn, I found that Ada was born at the end of 1893 in the Pickering district on here: http://freebmd.rootsweb(.)com/cgi/search.pl This means she would have been 7 at the time of the 1901 census, so I searched for Ada Watsons who were 7 years old. on here: www.censusdecoder(.)com There were several hits. I checked what towns and villages were included for Pickering here http://www.fhsc.org.uk/genuki/REG/nry.htm and saw that Thornton Dale was one of them. Crista |

I had the same problem... turned out that their name was spelt wrong. But kind people on this site sorted it all out and now I've found them! I'm sure if you put the details down before you know it some kind soul will sort it all out! |

Please can someone tell me where I am going wrong - my Grandparents were around in the 1901 Cencus so why can't I find them on the sites? |
