Hello , me again.
If it is ok please could someone lookup on the 1901 census:

Thanks again....chris.

Hi Chris - whats the source of 'Addlestone', related to your lad ?
-
Only births I can see ... Greater London, plus specific Middx & Surrey
are you meaning that you think he was in Addlestone in 1901, but may have been born elsewhere?

Kent Frank Reuben Camberwell 1d 941
~~~~~~~~

Hello curmudgeon.
Thanks for your message.
We saw Francis on the 1901 census we thought Francis was born in Addlestone.
You could be right , we just took it for granted , born elswhere.
Very sorry.

I couldnt see a Fra* Kent in the Addlestone area in 1901 census - can you add any more details of what you saw and I'd be happy to flesh out from the original page.
ADDED:-
Ah, maybe its an Ancestry site problem, as I see him on the 'official' 1901 census as being in the Chertsey area, born Addlestone .... dont have the funds to drill deeper, so I'll try and find out why he's not showing up in Ancestry search engine...

yes,possible mis-tran:-
1901 - RG13/592; Folio: 39; Page: 21 - Chertsey
38, Victoria Road
Harriett S Kent [sic] 47 WIDOW Head Laundress Sussex, Brighton
William 'Skeet' 17 son Milkman Addlestone
Charles 'Skeet' 15 son Labourer do
Francis 'Skeet' (dittoed from incorrect transcription of mother) 11 son Addlestone
George 'Skeet' 9 son do
-
actually, its moot if the 'official' 1901 census you quoted has it wrong, or the Ancestry entry (which has mum Harriett shown as Harriet SKeet in their index, altho I think the image looks like Harriet S Kent !)
However, looking at the 1891 census, I think Ancestry was right, as the family show up as Skeats (and another anomaly is that Francis is shown as age 3 or perhaps 5 ....)
Let me know if you wish to pursue it?

Pleasure Chris, glad it was of use :)

Hello curmudgeon.
Many Thanks for all your help.
We were all sure this was the Francis....Addlestone , etc.
You maybe right, he could have been born elsewhere.
The lady who we email to is my Dads Uncles , Granddaughter, ( a member here on rootschat sent a message for me to the lady who was on Genes ).
Thanks again....chris.

It's Skeats - I've just been given the task of tracing my husbands tree and we have gone as far back as william skeats (Chobham 1862) Married Harriet Watts (Brighton 1861) in Chertsey 1881, we had 4 kids, Mabel, Francis, William and Charles. Charles is Paul's (my hubby) great great grandfather. Haven't got any further back than that yet. So I think we have a link. Do you still track ancestry?

Chris I've found you again after trawling through some other Skeats stuff. Do you still do skeats research? Your Francis S Kent AKA Francis Skeats is my husbands great great uncle. I wonder if we could share somenotes (or rather you gove to me as I doubt I have anything you dont already have )
