Hi all,
Could someone please see if they can find Wesley Stainthorpe in 1901 census for me ? he was born 1870 Bowling, Bradford, Yorkshire. I have searched myself but I just cannot find him.
Thanks Sue

Ancestry only has one Wes* Sta*rp* born between 1865 and 1875 - and only lists him for 1871, 1881, and 1891.

Is this his death in 1905?

Incidentally, you don't need to know the wife's name to order a marriage cert.......as long as you have one person's name, and the full GRO info, you can order a cert..........

Thank you so much for all your help especially with the certificate info I was under the impression I needed both names. I will learn eventually,
Thank you so much for your taking so much time and trouble. Thanks Sue
