Title: 1901 lookup or marriage please.
Post by: angellize69 on Wednesday 17 May 06 14:04 BST (UK)
Please can someone put my husband out of his misery!
Hes only just started his family tree but cant seem to get into the late 1800s which i know is easier to trace relatives due to the easily available census's.
Anyway ....the name he is researching is ALBERT WHITNEY.
He thinks that he lived in raunds in the 1901 census, but isnt sure...if it is the right one his wife should be edwina.
He thinks the family were a big shoe makers in about that time so any details would be helpful.
Thank you

Do you know if he was married by 1901, or when any of his children were born?

Hi,
Albert Whitney was married to a Edwina and their children were
Alice 1906c
Alec 1907c
Audrey 1908c
We think Albert and Edwina were born around 1880.
All their descendants live in the grimsby area.
Alice married John Thomas Hides and lived at Bentley street, cleethorpes until around 1996.
We have been searching since 10 this morning with no real joy at all for either the hides or the whitneys....i can see it being a long night!!
Thanks everyone

Then he probably wasn't married yet in 1901.

Perhaps he was this 26 year old in Rushden
this is the family
Geo Whitney Head widr 58 shoe finisher born Raunds
Jos, son  28 shoe finisher born Raunds
Albert son 26 shoe finisher born Chelveston
Elizth dau 24 born Chelveston
Louise dau 21 boot machinest born Chelveston
Ethel 17 and Thos 14

You need his marriage certificate, and the birth certificate of the child that is his ancestor, otherwise it is just a guessing game.

Cheers

Ada L Parnell     abt 1870  Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, England  Nurse     Rushden  Northamptonshire     
Albert Whitney    abt 1871 Raunds, Northamptonshire, England Head    Rushden Northamptonshire    
Raymond Whitney   abt 1896 Higham Ferrers, Northamptonshire, England Son    Rushden Northamptonshire    
Rose Whitney abt 1870    Higham Ferrers, Northamptonshire, England Wife    Rushden Northamptonshire    

On the census form it has pressman I think it says Boot and after that leather. So you are right he was a shoemaker  It has Ada Parnell a "sick nurse"

I think it says 4 Winchester Road for their address Parish of Rushden St Marys.
Hope this is of some use to you.

Hello all...
Since my first post everything changed considerably!
We were told by my husbands dad that his great grandparents were named Albert and Edwina but it turns out they were named Frank and Ethel!!
Which explains why i couldnt find them.
So now we are looking for Ethels family as we cant find her maiden name as yet.
Weve done well with the hides side but the whitney side is at a stand still.
Yes, Alice Ann Whitney and John Hides are the right ones and they were younger than we were told.
Thanks everyone for your help

So it is Frank and Ethel. Have you found they marriage yet?

So what children did they have then? Dates?

frank whitney was born in 1895 in lincs, possibly grimsby and ethel was born in 1890.
The children were born in either grimsby or cleethorpes as thats where they spent all their lives.
