Member Since: October 2004 Posts: 120 Send Message	We have a marriage certificate for Edith Dawson (aged 20) and Arthur William Kitching (aged 27) dated 31st October 1925. We know that Edith was born in 1905 (as she only died a few months ago, aged 102), and Arthur must have been born around 1898. The marriage certificate states his father is Robert Kitching and the address we have is 23 The Greenway, North Road, Hull. I have been trying to find both Arthur and Robert on the 1901 census and have had no luck at all. The address comes up with nothing at all (I realise the census was 24 years before the marriage) and the only Arthur of the right age (give or take) in Hull has a father called Frederick. Then there's an adopted one over in Carlisle and a Boarder in Suffolk. The only Robert I can find that might match is a Robert G Kitching, Brother-in-law to the Head of the household, born about 1860 (which would make him 38 when Arthur was born). I haven't really got a lot to go on here! Can anyone help?
