Hi could any of you lovely people please look up James Samuel Miller on the 1901/1911 census. I know he lived in Newcastle in 1922, but not sure of his birth place or place of residence at the census time. He was possibly born 1896 and his father was Samuel Miller possibly born Lithuainia.
This man is a bit of a mystery to me, we knew him as Joseph Samuel Miller, so the name James was a bit of a suprise to us
Thanks ainsley :)

Oooops sorry :o

Did he die in 1922?
Death Registration, from FreeBMD:
December qtr 1922
Newcastle Upon Tyne district vol 10b, page 117
Miller, Joseph age 33
That would indicate a birth c.1889

As he is known by a variety of names was he married, if so to whom and when did they marry. What name did he use at that time.

Hi, he was married in 1922 to Margaret Patterson he states his name as James Samuel Miller,although we always knew him as Uncle Joe. on his marriage certificate he has his soldiers number, but since looking through all my paperwork today i have him with the same service number as joseph samuel. This man is such a mystery to me
Thanks ainsley ???

FindMyPast has a Royal Artillery attestation in 1919 for a Joseph Samuel Miller b abt 1900 in Middlesborough, it gives a service number of 1018696 and a former service number of 285210. It sounds like he must have been in a different regiment previously. But as he's only 19 it can't have been for long. Do either of these numbers match what you know.?
What age is given on marriage cert?
Marriage cert should also give his father's name and occupation
(just saw you said his father's name was samuel)
-
Thats the record i have already and yes its the same service number on his marriage certificate. He was married in newcastle and he states his age as 26. His fathers occupation is sea pilot.
Thanks ainsley

There's a birth for a Joseph (no middle name / initial) registered in Middlesbrough district Q4 1895. He would be 26 in 1922 if the marriage date was earlier in the year than his birthday.

I found this earlier, might be worth keeping note of though not Middlesbrough
1901 - RG13/4282 f94 p36
Samuel Miller 26 bn Ireland
Martha Miller 29 bn Ireland
James Miller 11 months bn Methley, Yorkshire.
Later census James is called Samuel

Oh this man, why couldn't I have been interested in my family history when I was 10 yrs old.
I'v had a look, there are 4 Samuel Millers with a wife named Martha, I'm not sure that is my man but will keep it for future reference. Joseph or James always told my mum his parents where Lithuainian but that could have just been a fib as he couldn't even decide what his name was
Thanks for you help ainsley :P

That is a cry that will touch a nerve in everyone who is trying to find out more about their own family history.
Its the way of things that the young don't have the time to take an interest and then we regret that as we get older and realise that the past is important but there is n longer anyone around to ask about it.
The best we can do is to document and record our 'own' lives and leave that as a legacy for when the next generations reach the stage we are at now.
I would really urge everyone looking into the past to take the time to record their own lives.
Your descendants will love you for it!
