Linda, Thankyou, that was quick........I will have to send for the marriage cert, I have a sneaking suscpition that her parents were dead, as she was older than her partner at marriage, and could have been on her own for a while?? Jen

Linda Thank you again, for looking for me. You're a star! Jo

Hi Avril, I'm sorry but I don't have access to scottish records :(

Jo, the other names are people who married at the same time as yours did, I can't find Lillie on any census, I did find a matilda but she was a servant so living in another household. unless someone else can find them on a census together you would have to get the marriage certificates which would show you who their father was Linda

Jen only ones I could find in canterbury on 1851 are Ellen E Elvey abt 1847 Canterbury, Kent, England Granddaughter Canterbury St Dunstan Kent Emma E Elvey abt 1837 Canterbury, Kent, England Daughter Canterbury St Dunstan Kent George Elvey abt 1824 Canterbury, Kent, England Son Canterbury St Dunstan Kent >>>Jane E Elvey abt 1841 Canterbury, Kent, England Daughter Canterbury St Dunstan Kent Mary Elvey abt 1795 Eastling, Kent, England Head Canterbury St Dunstan Kent Mary A Elvey abt 1819 Canterbury, Kent, England Daughter Canterbury St Dunstan Kent Susannah Elvey abt 1826 Canterbury, Kent, England Daughter Canterbury St Dunstan Kent William Elvey abt 1834 Canterbury, Kent, England Son Canterbury St Dunstan Kent

Linda WOW Was that quick or what!!!! Thank you SO much for helping me. But I don't understand who Mary Burke and Stephen Winterburn are. Sorry for being thick Thanks again, Jo

Hi Linda, Could you please try and find the family of JANE ELIZABETH ELVY b abt. 1834. Possibly from the Canterbury, Kent area? She married George Thomas Chaney b 1842 Sep qtr. 1867 in Canterbury, Kent. ref: 2a 1075. She would have been at home presumably in 1851 and 1861, unless parents had died? Thankyou Jen

hi Joanne she was in fact >>>>Henry Bennett 1881 Jul-Aug-Sep Doncaster Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, West Riding Of Yorkshire Mary Burke 1881 Jul-Aug-Sep Doncaster Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, West Riding Of Yorkshire >>>>Lillie Hogg 1881 Jul-Aug-Sep Doncaster Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, West Riding Of Yorkshire Stephen Winterburn 1881 Jul-Aug-Sep Doncaster Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, West Riding Of Yorkshire still trying to find them on census, must have been mistranscribed

Hi there, Would be wonderful if you could help me. I'm looking for PARENTS of LILY (Elizabeth?) HOGG b 6/4/1860 DONCASTER married to Henry Bennett in Doncaster. I think she had a sister MATILDA HOGG, married to George Jackson b1857, SALFORD. I know these two are my ancestors, but I can't find anything linking them together. Anything you can do for me would be much appreciated. Many thanks, Jo

Thank you Linda Both the heads of family in my Census search are different: Francis b1861 France b1865 Oh god i'm gonna have a cuppa and have a rest for a bit. Thank you Linda for all your help. I will get the hang of it eventually. Bye for now xxx

Hi Kay, if you order the marriage cert it will should hopefully give you Fathers name and occupation. From that you can start looking for their families on the census, last one is 1901 that way you will be able to find which families are yours. does that make sense? Linda x had a look at 1901 census McGuiness in south shields there are 2 head of household one calkled bernard other Thomas, so if Ellen's father on marriage cert is called Thoms you know which family are yours

Hi Linda I'm confused!!! How do i link Ellen Mcguinness to her family by looking at the Census. Do i have to order the Marriage or Birth Cert??? There seems to be 2 Mcguinness families on the Census and are probably related but i do not know how to make the connection to Ellen Born 1909 or1910. Not sure which my Ellen is??? OMG my head is swimming!!! Not sure i am even making sense!!! Help????? Kay xxx Found a marriage though. Ellen Mcguinness m Danial McDonald june 1931 South shields. Not a complete waste of time eh kay xxx

So sorry Linda - didn't scroll down enough to read your reply about Louisa!! Thanks for all the help.

Thanks again for looking at occupations for me - why am I not surprised that they're labourers?!! Hope you don't mind me asking but did you have any luck with Louisa Sibbons on the 1901?

father and son both Ag labs :) unable to find Louisa on 1901 but this might be her marriage later Name: Louisa Sibbons Year of Registration: 1904 Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun District: West Ham County: Essex, Greater London Volume: 4a Page: 285

Thanks Linda thats a great help. Did it say any occupations? I suppose they were labourers!!

Hello Linda, thanks for offer of help. I'd be very grateful if you could find the following for me - on the 1851 census WILLIAM SIBON born suffolk c.1829 parents are William and Martha on the 1901 census LOUISA SIBBONS born West Ham c 1882 parents William and Ann. Thanks

Ah well !! I am trying to find My Charles Joshua Hoyle on any census, he was born in 1872 (29 when he married in Dec 1901 in Thorparch, Yorkshire) he was a bachelor. I cannot find his birth for sure or him on any census anywhere. His occupation was a publican in 1901 but he was also a silk mill hand in 1903. Father's first name is blank on the marriage cert except 'deceased Hoyle!' If you have time to have a look to see if you can find him, that would be great . Thanks Joan

your welcome Sue, having an unusal name normally creates more trouble than you think. Linda x
