Title: Ratcliff/e brick wall
Post by: doosaphina on Monday 09 July 12 18:02 BST (UK)

I am researching my family tree and on my granddads side keep hitting huge brick walls, I am hoping someone here might be able to look up a couple of things for me that might help me.

In the 1901 census i see one Percy Ratcliffe b.1892 in epsom surrey is there anyone that can look that up for me and give me the names of the family members on there.

I am also trying to find a marriage record for Percy Ratcliff/e and Ada Clarke i know the marriage took place before 1921 but i can not find anything.

If anyone can help i would be very grateful.

Thanks

Hi there and Welcome to Rootschat Doosaphina

I found your Percy on the 1901 census

Living at 42 Ans, Acton, Middlesex

Alfred Ratcliffe   48  Gardener,  
Louisa               42
Frederic             20
Alice                   13

Percy                    9
Bessie                  7
Leonard                4

and a William Ratcliffe aged 57 but no relation put as to who he is  to Alfred
presume he could be a Brother

Hope this helps
