Anne Marie If you look at the census for 1901, type in Duffy and census place Westgate you'll find Felix and his family, wife Eliza. children Alexander, Catherine, Elizabeth, Maggie and Joseph (age 2). if you pay to view then it will give you their address, or where they were on census night anyway! Hope this helps. Yours is one of the first names I've ever found spelt 'right' on the 1901 census. Best wishes Ann

Hi Anne-Marie, Found them on the 1891 census now! Not surprising we couldn't find him before - I've never seen Felix spelt like that!

Emma, hello again, On my garandparents wedding certificate the spelling was Felix and I never thought it could be a mistake but to be honest once you have looked at this board you realise you really don't belive any spelling to be exact. Thanks for your help, I really do have lots more info to be getting on with. well off to lunch, by for now Anne-Marie

Lunch? Its nearly half past midnight here Anne Marie, if you need any certificates, I can get them for you and mail them to you airmail. Email me if that will help. We can sort the boring bit about finances later.
