Hi, Im searching for a Charles and Hepzibah (nee Fuller) Enderby, Born 1854 and 1851 respectively. I would like to find out when and where they got married (all their children were born in Notingham), when they died and what their parents were called/age etc. I think this may be a bit of a long-shot, but i would appreciate ANY help very much!! Thanks a lot, Nicola

Thats wonderful, thanks a lot!! what does c/e next to Dot's name mean?? I have a photo of Mab and Dot, they were my great great aunts!!

Charles jr. died in the first world war, according to a note that i have from my grandpa, how can i find out details about his death?? Thanks again!

Hi Ian, Glad to have been of help. The C/E? - basically not sure!! It's a bad scan, hard to read; could be Dorothy C or Dorothy E Enderby. Same with Charles' age fairly sure it's 37. Debbie

Ian The Commonwealth War Graves Commission is very good for checking deaths during the world wars. The web-site is shown in the Links page under Resource Centre.

Hello again! Try the Commonwealth War Graves web site. There should be a link in the rescource centre on the left. Or just type it into your search engine. Debbie

Thanks for all your help, ive found my grandma's half-bro on the CWGC also.

thanks for the help!

I may be totally barking up the wrong tree but wouldn't C/E, stand for Church of England? I've never seen it put on a census form but that was my initial thought when you asked the question.... Andy.
