Title: Waites from Driffield
Post by: TheVixen on Wednesday 20 May 09 20:57 BST (UK)

I am trying to find more info on my great granddad Arthur Waites b 1870. His Wife's name was Ann Elizabeth (nee unknown). They had 3 children before moving to Hull early 1900's. Can anyone help find out my Great Grandmother Maiden name?
Thanks
 Chris

Hi and welcome to Rootschat

Wife was Annie E according to the 1901 which also shows their eldest child as aged 5 b Driffield.

That would suggest a marriage between 1891 - 1895 but there are 3 Arthur Waite marriage to an Annie but no Annie E and no Arthur Waites

I think you are going to need a copy of one of their childrens birth certs
