Deaths Mar 1865 (>99%) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SALMON Elizabeth Wolstanton 6b 79 No death for Lucy, I'll leave you to look for her Julie

actually if mum died that could explain why James went into lodgings

oh Julie, you'll have to come and spend a week with me doing my tree...lol I havent found any of them, currently searching 600-650 of Lucys..lol getting very frustrated now. I can't believe you found Samuel, I couldnt find him!! I'll go see if I can find him using your information ! Thanks soooo much.

Dang I didn't see there was a page 2..lol... I managed to find out where to put first name and parents names then came back to tell you I'd done it only to find your other replies. Anyway I found James as a lodger in 1871 and then at home with his parents Samuel and Elizabeth, brother Jesse and sister Lucy in 1861, now Im trying to find out where the others were in 1871 to see if I can work out why he might have been in lodgings, but I cant find them on 1871 census, am presently searching for first names only, I WILL get there..lol thanks for all your help

Karen Was just about to go then ok i'll do Samuel Name: Samuel. then scroll down to where born Parish:Burslem scroll down to Father: James Mother: Mary. then hit search Thats for Ancestry

1861 Theres a problem theres 2, do you know his dads name

1871 James Salmon Age: 17 Estimated birth year: abt 1854 Relation: Lodger Gender: Male Where born: Tunstall, Staffordshire, England Civil parish: Burslem Ecclesiastical parish: St John Town: Burslem County/Island: Staffordshire Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Disability: View image Registration district: Wolstanton Sub-registration district: Burslem ED, institution, or vessel: 13 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 31 Household Members: Name Age Ann Clowes 50 Isaac Clowes 15 Moses Clowes 11 Thomas Jackson 42 James Salmon 17

thanks Julie, ok next question, how do you search for first name and parents names? I can't find the facility to do this (yep Im stuck again with James's parents) ps. Im searching on ancestry.co.uk cus I dont have credits for this site

If you type in the first name and leave surname blank, then search, you come up with every surname, but scroll down below the names and you can refine the search.

Hi Karen I would tell you if i could remember lol No i did Samuel + Parents no surname and Burslem in where born Julie On my way round for Champagne * Grabs Fuzzy on the way*

You two are brilliant, I'd be interested in knowing how you found that info though, I only found it when I searched for Samuel Silvester, so how did you know where to look? It does look like that's definitely them so at least I know I really am from Salmon line..lol

Ohh thank you so much I'll look into all that info later (Im not on my own pc right now), looks like the champers may be on me :)

Fuzzy....Forget the wine, i think me and you deserve a bottle of champagne lol

Flipping heck Julie, names and ages of children correspond as does occupation of James his year of birth and place of birth together with wife of Mary and of course the fact that the image is unreadable....I have blown it right up BUT still cant read it! it could easily be Salmon as opposed to Silvester...it HAS to be them!! Off to open wine bottle and make tea in time for england match!!

Fuzzy Have a look at my post ( a little up from yours) and let me know what you think, if i don't get back im having me dinner Julie

Found this for samuel Name: Samuel Salmon Year of Registration: 1878 Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec DISTRICT: Wolstanton County: Staffordshire Volume: 6b Page: 152 there were too many williams to narrow it down and they are living in the Burslem area which as I found and have put below is a sub district of Wolstanton Name: Samuel Salmon Year of Registration: 1878 Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec DISTRICT: Wolstanton County: Staffordshire Volume: 6b Page: 152

mmmm interesting.....found this record below: Name: George William Salmon Year of Registration: 1876 Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar DISTRICT: Wolstanton County: Staffordshire Volume: 6b Page: 151 Dont suppose you know if he used his middle name instead do you?

Karen, You really need a birth certificate for one of the younger children, it will tell you the mothers maiden name and previous married name if she had one. You will then be able to look for a marriage between James and mary with confidence

quote:James Salmon born abt 1852 is living at home with his parents Edward and Charlotte, Do you now that those were the names of james parents - or is that the only one you can see?
