Merry This is going to drive you to distraction Please do not spend any more of your time on this problem . I greatly appreciate the time you and everyone else has already given me . If I ever find a Laycock/Blakeley marriage my problem will hopefully be solved Susan

Thanks for that Susan.....Pity it isn't helping..... Still looking! Merry

Hi Sub district Colne address 3 Lister Street Colne Lancashire Reg district Burnley Susan

From his birth cert, what was the subdistrict and the address for the birth? Merry

Sorry Merry did not ignore your posting I lost my connection again My Grandfather was born January 1897 and the cert states mother Emma Laycock Formerly Blakely father John Laycock . My Grandfather had a brother John William born around 1888 . Thankyou Susan

Forget it.....I have just read your post again! My fault merry

Or is it too far away?? I don't know Lancs? merry

But I've just posted it!!! Well, I bet that is it!! Merry

Hi Merry I haven't gone simply given up on this one until I can find a Blakely Blackley Bleakly or some such spelling married to a John Laycock Unfortunately she signed with a Mark on the birth cert so the actual spelling of her Surname is at the mercy of the registrar . Susan

Don't go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Marriages Dec 1898 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bentley Emma Haslingden 8e 181 LAYCOCK John Haslingden 8e 181 Merry

Thanks everyone Please do not waste any more of your time on my problem. I will have to hope that the 1885 marr ref on free bmd is awaiting a spouse not as yet transcribed Sometimes certificates simply add to the problem not solve them!!! I really appreciate you all trying for me Susan

That Harry Laycock is Grandson on the actual image :o)) Merry

I found this John and Emma on the 1891 living in Lancs: Arnold Laycock abt 1890 Littleborough, Lancashire, England Son Blatchinworth and Calderbrook Lancashire Emma Laycock abt 1852 Radcliffe, Lancashire, England Wife Blatchinworth and Calderbrook Lancashire Harriet H Laycock abt 1877 Littleborough, Lancashire, England Daughter Blatchinworth and Calderbrook Lancashire John Laycock abt 1852 Keighley, Yorkshire, England Head Blatchinworth and Calderbrook Lancashire John H Laycock abt 1881 Littleborough, Lancashire, England Son Blatchinworth and Calderbrook Lancashire Probably just coincidence with the names as the birth year for their son John is a few years off 1888 that you already have.

This is the only Emm and John I can find living together RG13/3852 Folio 35 Page 8 Bacup, Lancashire Emma Laycock, b. abt 1871, Bacup, Lancashire, England, Wife John Laycock, b abt 1871, Waterfoot, Lancashire, England, Head I have been unable to find a George Henry Laycock, but have found a Harry Laycock (listed as a god child) - my family have a habit of using middle names instead of the names they are christened and well Henry is also known as Harry - just an idea as you said the other child was also not at home on 1901 census. RG13/3873 Folio 28 Page 6 Burnley, Lancashire Harry Laycock abt 1898 Burnley, Lancashire, England God Child Amy Sagar abt 1900 Burnley, Lancashire, England Granddaughter Arthur Sagar abt 1884 Higham, Lancashire, England Son Elizabeth Sagar abt 1851 Colne, Lancashire, England Wife Ernest Sagar abt 1882 Higham, Lancashire, England Son Harry Sagar abt 1886 Higham, Lancashire, England Son James Sagar abt 1847 France, Lancashire, England Head Leonard Sagar abt 1878 Burnley, Lancashire, England Daughter-in-law Theodore Sagar abt 1880 Higham, Lancashire, England Son Dont know if this helps Regards sue

I've found a possible marriage, but my pc is playing up so I can't see the details lol Hmm... maybe not lol Marriage Mar 1902 Laycock John Blakey Bertha Dewsbury 9b 880

I have checked 1891 census but again no show for Emma and John Susan

He was a plasterer labourer on birth cert Susan

If the boys have the same mother, have you looked for the family in 1891?

What was his father's occupation on the birth certificate?

I know nothing about them and the birth cert for george henry has given no clues other than address at his birth which was3 lister st Colne Lancashire Susan
