Hi all
Could someone please look up an Alfred G Ness on the 1901 census. He was born in 1895 in Scarborough and his name was registered Sir Alfred G Ness!!!
I have no idea why he would be given the name of Sir, unless his parents were perhaps having a little fun at the time of registration!
Any help most appreciated!
Kind Regards
Emma

Thanks Mo!! I thought John was his father but now that proves it!! Thanks so much!
And CaroleW: Yes i do believe that that is his son, same name and born the same year that he married his wife, Nellie Fletcher!!
Nellie and Alfred were my gt grandparents on my paternal side of which i know very little as i didnt know my father. This census find, and possible gt uncle, has made me smile! Thanks ever so much to you both!
Kind Regards

Hi Soulsister.
Only today have i been to the resting place of Sir Alfred Garfield Ness. He is buried with
William fletcher who died 12/11/1947 aged 74yrs
Nellie Ness who died 20/02/1976 aged 74yrs
Then the ashes of Herbert Ness who died 24/05/1994 aged 70.
The information i have was the deed holder was Nellie Ness and her address was 46 Edgehill rd, Scarborough and was the plot was purchased in 1947.
William or Bert as i knew him was not a blood relative but was like my grandad he lived with my nanna for many years.
Hope some of this helps

Thank you for this information, Juanita :)
May I ask who your nanny was?
It is nice to hear bits of a person's story, as it helps them to feel more human!
Kind regards,
Emma :)

Hi Emma my nanna was Dorothy Walker/Eastick depending which name she would use. They lived in Edgehill for a long time, Bert Ness was a big part of my life growing up 😍
