EASOM, OLIVE MARY MOULD
GRO Reference: 1911 J Quarter in BURTON UPON TRENT Volume 06B Page 383


The 1911 census was taken on 2nd April, when Olive was said to be under 1 month old, so William can't have been born in the same year and be aged 9.

Here he is with a birth reg. in Q4 1913, so he would have been 7 at the time if the 1921 census on 19th June. Looking at the original it does show aged 7 years and 8 months - it's his Father's way of writing a 7!!

Have you done any research?

ArgyllGran

ArgyllGran Report 11 May 2024 19:34

If that's your Tom's marriage above, he had a daughter, P*******, born in Bolton in 1944.
I can't post her details here, as she may still be living.:

She married in 1968 in Wharfedale registration district, and they were probably living in Northampton until at least 2016.


However, it appears they had no children.

You can find the birth and marriage yourself on FreeBMD:

https://www.freebmd.org.uk


For her birth, just enter her parents' surnames and the year.

Then when you know her name (including middle initial), enter her name , and the place and date to find the marriage.
Having found the marriage, search the Electoral Rolls under "Search" at top right of this page.
When you find the correct result, click on the document symbol to the right of the result to find her address in 2016.

From an online search for the address, it appears that the house has not been sold since then, so she may still be living there, if she has opted out of the online Electoral Roll.

But if attempting to make contact, be tactful, as I can't guarantee she's the right person!

Welcome to the boards, David.

Unfortunately, it's highly unlikely that any relatives of Emma will happen to see your post here.

Have a look at "Search all member trees", under "Search" at top right of this page.
Enter name and year of birth of any known relatives and see if any GR members have the same person in their tree.
If so, click on "Find out more" and send a message explaining your interest.

If you're lucky, you may receive a reply!

ADDED:
What do you know definitely about her?

You say "BELIEVED to have farmed. . .". Do you have reason to think that?

Was Easom her married name or maiden name?

When did she marry?

When was she born?

I’m looking for descendants of my great aunt Emma Easom believed to have farmed near Crawshaw Booth, Lancashire (1920 – 1950) with husband William.

Any information welcome
