Information required for my great grandad Harry Whitham who in 1928 lived at 28 Sherbrooke Road,Nottingham, he was a mechanical engineer and one of his sons was Sidney Whitham who had a brother Harry.
Unfortunately thats all the information I have.
Hope someone can help

Welcome to RootsChat Wellspring :)
Is the information you have from Sidney's birth certificate? If so, the certificate should also give Sidney's mother's name.
If we find the reference for Sidney's parents' marriage and you purchase the certificate, it should tell us more about both of them - ie ages and fathers' names, which in turn should (hopefully) allow us to find them in the 1901 census.
:)

the information i have is from the marriage certificate between my grandad sidney and my grandmother Rosetta Mary Heathcote on the 9th of june 1928, her address was 6 Breedons Buildings Bobbers Mill Road.

Hi Wellsprung
Welcome. There is only one (out of 39 matches) Harry Whitham on the 1901 census in Notts:
Notts / North Wheatley / aged 3
I can't view the image from work, but someone else might be able to. It would be unwise to assume that this is your relative without some form of corroberation.

Ah, OK. So are you presuming that the address Sidney married from was his father's address?
Anyway - how old was Sidney in 1928? Any idea how old his brother Harry was?
With a little luck, they will appear on the 1901 census ...
(Hi Williamscdr, long time no see ;))
-
Sidney was 26 years old in 1928. I have no idea how old Harry was but think he was younger.
-
Sidney was 26 years old in 1928.
How very uncooperative of him :P
I'm afraid this means you'll have to first get hold of his birth certificate to discover his mother's name
I can't see a birth in Nottinghamshire for him but I do see
Sidney Whitham
December quarter 1902
Rotherham registration district
Volume 9c page 804
(found here : http://www.freebmd.org.uk/)
Birth registrations in the December quarter can cover births between mid-August and December. Does anyone remember Sidney's birthday?
-
hi tati many thanks for your help, certificate ordered, see where we go from there.
-
I dearly hope it reveals the correct father :P
-
Hi Wellspring - thanks for PM. Indeed I think we're getting somewhere now, and I'm very relieved it was the correct birth reference! :D
So Sidney Whitham's parents were Harry and Jane Ann nee Taylor.
There's only one match for the marriage on FreeBMD

Well, I now remember doing this before and trying to prove that the little Allen shown in 1871 is in fact Harry - now knowing his father's name, I have no doubt anymore (brother Frank ties in as well)

Hi there, I was just browsing the Whitham name whe I came across your post. It seems you are researching my family. I am a direct descendant of Phillip and Susanna comind down through his son Charles. Allen/Harry has always baffled me and what really interests me is the mention of Emily. Could this be my aunt? PLEASE get in touch
