thanks for the help, this means that they might not be related to me, unless the mother is Charles' Aunt. i dont understand the info about Rose Winkfield, what does it mean please? im not sure what to do now!

Rose Winkfield is Thomas Enderby`s mother in law.

She is Mary`s mother, now you know her name before marriage.

oh, right, thanks. How can i find out if mary's mother of father were charles' mother or father? doesn't it seem rather a coincidence that a group of people of similar ages all born in the same palce, then moved to nottingham?? i WANT them to be related !!

Ian, what I have given you is all one family. Thomas and Mary are married Emma, Eliza and John are their children Rose is Mary`s mother who is listed as widowed, so you will need an earlier census to find her husband. Next, you need a birth record for Mary. As she was born in Norfolk, you will need the Norfolk parish records. For more information on this, go to the Norfolk page on genuki

I have looked on the IGI, but nothing there. If there is an LDS centre near you, they can get the film for you.

ive just realised something- my gg grandfather could still be related to them- he wasn't born in 1851 !! is there a site that has 1861 cencus returns?? i really want to find out if Tom and Mary are his parents!! Then i'll work on Rose and her husband!! I live in West Yorkshire, so i'll have to find out if there is a LDS centre near me. Will they be able to help me with '61 and '71 census returns??

For your local LDS, look in the phone book. It will be listed under Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. If the census you require is available anywhere, they will order it for you. They will make a charge, but only to cover the postage. I am in Plymouth, and ordered a Somerset film, and they charged me £2.60.

You could get Arthurs birth certificate and see if parents names match
