Me again! Must be having a grey moment, can't even find them 1901!! Are you able to paste details onto here, just to get a handle on them really.

Cath, just a bit concerned that you have the same couple! Seems a bit odd to change name from Stephen James to Charles. Assuming you have their children in 1901 and 1911?

I have had this brick wall on my g.grandmothers side for couple of years and thought i would have another go after getting a bit more info from 1911 census but i still can,t get nowhere .
I have never been able to find a marriage between Elizabeth Mason ( called herself Lizzie on 1901 ) and Stephen James Smelt he called himself Charles on 1901 .they both state they were born in Hull .
The 1911 he states he was born in Hull This i know is correct ,Elizabeth is now saying she was born in Brigg Lincolnshire and they had been married for 24 years , i know they could have been lying and never married but how do i get any further back on the Mason side if i can't find out who her parents were .

Thanks
Cath
