Warwickshire Lookup Requests / Re: Saltisford, Warwick

Hi,
Yes, that is certainly him! I have got certificates to prove this so I know I have the right person. My next mission is to find out where he worked and what he was doing before 1911, probably the next few years may bear fruit?

Thank you for your interest.

Hi,
Yes, I found him on 1881, 1891 and 1901, he just seemed to go awol until he married my gran, thats when I heard that he married before and found his first marriage certificate that said he married in Warwick in 1911.
(sorry, al ot of 'marrieds in there!)

Hi,
Yes, I did find him with the help of a very kind person on here. My family name is Law but on the 1911 census site and find my past, his name was wrongly transcribed as San and Lam. His occupation was gardener the same as the certificates that I have so I knew it was the correct person, this has taken such a long time to find!
I found the house on google earth and had a good look at it on streetview. I have been wondering if he may have worked at warwick castle as he was apparently a professional gardener until he died.

The Lighter Side / Re: BBC TV "WDYTYA?" Series 10 Episode #3 - Patrick Stewart

I think that the people that have featured in the programmes have had many different reasons for doing it, this particular programme concentrated on the one big question in Patricks life that he wanted an answer to, for each programme to follow the same set pattern would become rather boring. Some end with happy reunions with long lost family, Bruce Forsythe for instance and some end with sadness, Jerry springer springs to mind when he was reunited with a cousin after a programme which explored his Jewish family and looked at the persecution they went through. I know more about my distant ancestors than I do about my grandmother and grandfather so I can see why the latest programme was made In this way.

Thank you for explaining, as I said I am still a beginner (2 years) and always welcome help and advice from more knowledgable people. This has baffled me for a while, my grandfather was 41 when he married my gran who was much younger so I never knew him so I am trying to build up a picture of him. I will go to the library tomorrow, I have been too busy today.
Thank you so much for your help!
