I know I wanted some sort of mystery in my tree but this is just to confusing!!!!

Im with you and have a feeling this is them! Everything matches up, I have now been able to find Louisa birth and the name is listed as Louisa Blackburn Turner which matches the B in the 1901 census.

But the big mystery is the Richard part on her marriage, unless the marriage is off another family memebr called Louisa Blackburn, as I have not searched for a marriage for Louisa Blackburn Turner, if that dont turn anything up I'm not sure what to do

Mo - Thank you so much, its starting to make sense. Thats why I cant find a marriage for a William Blackburn and a Caroline ? in Leeds and in the census!!! It seems both mother and daughter were naughty as was ungeard off in them days.

Please can you post it for me?

And one more question.....why in the 1911 census is both William and Caroline listed at Blackburns would William of taken Carolines name? and Why is Louisa's father listed as Richard Blackburn on her marriage cert??

Thank you again after 12 hours I feel I might be getting somewhere!!!

Ok, so something also is very odd.

1911 Census state living at 18 All Saints Street, Leeds is William Blackburn and Louisa Blackburn listed as grandson and daughter of the head of house who's name is William Blackburn married to Caroline.

I'm so confused!!!

Thanks for any help.

Hi Pauline,

Thats all the information I have on William Arthur Blackburn apart from is death date which was 1940.

I cant seem to find William or Louisa in the 1901 or 1911 census.

The addresses of where both Louisa and William Arthur are listed as living at on both their marriage certs is 18 All Saints Street, Leeds.

Hello,

Im looking my Nans side of the family who I dont know much about.

I believe I have found my 2nd great grandmother Louisa Blackburn who was approx 1881 in Leeds she had a son William Arthur who is my great grandfather in 1896, on Williams marriage cert a father is not listed which I can understand at Lousia's young age (she also went on to have a daughter Caroline out of wedlock).

I have found a marriage for Louisa to a William Thompson in 1914 and Louisa's father is listed as Richard Blackburn who is deceased, howevere I can not find anymore informatin on Lousia or her father.

Can anyone help?

Many Thanks
Lucy

Oxfordshire / Jane Maria Lake - Help please
« on: Sunday 02 January 11 23:10 GMT (UK)  »
Hello there,

I am searching for a birth cert for Jane Maria Lake, I believe she married Job (AKA Joseph) Walters in 1866. In census it states Jane was born around 1847 in Shouldern, Oxfordshire. I cant seem to find her birth cert anywhere. In some census she is known as Jane Maria, and some as Mary J, I know that this is the same person by going on the names of the chidlren they are listed with.

Nor can I find a death cert.

Thanks for any help

Just as you sent the PM I found my nan's birth cert. Showing the father as William Arthur and mother Amy. With the fathers name and the information you sent it seems we have a match!!!

Thank you so much for your help, its a tearful moment.
