Thanks for all the looking up that will save me if i am on the right track. I'm going to get the marriage certificate of Ernest and Annie and see what i find Tracy

they do say you learn something new everyday. A little investigation into both his and her siblings may turn up a connection in Duham and she went off their to give birth - or it may be a work thing. But hold fire until you get their marriage certificate and you have fathers names to compare to zoe

Whitby Jet It's a black stone... Fossilised monkey puzzle tree Boring really and your not expected to know. Just so common here sorry for laughing

okay - as a Southerner - enlighten me as to what Whitby jet is....

Sorry Zoe Cant stop laughing now! Jet as in Whitby Jet Tracy xx

Eldest child being born elsewhere coudl be any reason. Perhaps he was apprenticed in his trade to someone and had to move there for his training. Or perhaps he simply had to go there for the work. I can't quite decipher his occupation - looks like Jet Worker - but to me that just says aeroplanes, but I'm sure someone else may come up with a more suitable answer.

Reg. My Dad has no info past his grandfathers name, Thats what i'm trying to do. just wondered if i could research Nathaniel earlier just in case. Tracy

1891 census: Ernest Sanderson abt 1886 Whitby, Yorkshire, England Son Whitby Yorkshire Francis E Sanderson abt 1884 Whitby, Yorkshire, England Son Whitby Yorkshire Margaret Sanderson abt 1854 Whitby, Yorkshire, England Wife Whitby Yorkshire Margaret Sanderson abt 1876 Whitby, Yorkshire, England Daughter Whitby Yorkshire Mary Jane Sanderson abt 1874 West Hartlepool, Durham, England Daughter Whitby Yorkshire - mistress in school Nathaniel Sanderson abt 1848 Whitby, Yorkshire, England Head Whitby Yorkshire - Jet(??) worker Nathaniel Sanderson abt 1880 Whitby, Yorkshire, England Son Whitby Yorkshire William R Sanderson abt 1879 Whitby, Yorkshire, England Son Whitby Yorkshire

just wante dto pop in and say how lovely it is to see that you and your dad are doing this together. Zoe

The marriage cert is the only way to proceed.......with all due respect to your dad, he is probably relying on info passed down verbally through the generations....and that can get distorted with the passage of time............ Reg

So from earlier cencus could i find out if Nathaniels place of birth had changed???

I think thats my Dads line of though Kate Because they lived in Whitby then they just put that down. And as the eldest was born else where it's thrown us a bit.

Well, I still say wait till the marriage certificate comes before doing any more research on the family, but sometimes birthplaces are wrong on the census, for instance earlier on today I was looking at somebody's ancestor who was born Ireland on several censuses but then suddenly changed to being born in the Derbyshire village where he was living at the time of the census! Kate.

Reg. Thats the one we have and aren't sure of. If it is correct any ideas as to why the eldest daughter was born elsewhere???? My dad seems to think the family came from Durham thats why we weren't convinced the parents were born in Whitby. Tracy

I bet this is the birth of Annie: Name: Annie Bell Arnold Year of Registration: 1891 Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun District: Whitby County: North Riding Of Yorkshire Volume: 9d Page: 471

Based on year of marriage...this one in 1901 is a possibility, but you really need the marriage cert, as advised above, to confirm his father's name.
