I AM Searching for information about Henry John Atkinson
I believe that he was married to EMMA Atkinson and they were both born in Grimsby circa 1849?.
I know that they both passed away around 1929/30?
other than that i know very little about them .
I believe that they would be my 2x great grand parents on my mothers paternal side
any information however scant would be appreciated
-
Just a tip but you can search for births, marriages, deaths on the Free BMD index.
Do you have the couple on any census?
-
There is a Henry John born 1850 died 1929 Grimsby. Emma born 1849 died 1930 Grimsby.
Possible marriage in 1869 to Emma Hamilton.
The problem with that couple is that in 1911 they state no children.
Which child of theirs is the possible link down to you? The birth registration for that child will give the mothers maiden name.

Which person exactly are you descended from who you think Henry John Atkinson and Emma are the parents of?
Is it Ernest Alfred by any chance?
The 1881 census is the only one with any evidence of a child
Ernest A age 7 son
Perhaps they adopted him as 1911 census clearly states no children born and I don’t see a birth registration for him to check his mother was Hamilton
-
I wonder if Alfred E Hall 17 down as nephew in 1891 is the same person as Ernest A in 1881?
Ernest Alfred Hall born Dec 1873 Caistor does have mothers name Hamilton so could be a genuine nephew
-
The plot thickens as in 1921 there is a grandson age 21 called Alfred William Henry Atkinson

"I believe that they would be my 2x great grand parents on my mothers paternal side"
Whose origins are you researching...the great grand parent on your mother's side?
What is the earliest sighting of this great grandparent?.....name on a marriage record?...name as parent on a birth record?.
