I don't suppose anyone here knows of a Charles Henry Cross?  born aprox.  1894.  I know it's a quite recent date, but i can't find anything further back from that, all I have is a marriage certificate.  From what I can still gather on the certificate, Charles Henry Cross' fathers name was David.

My Charles Henry Cross was married in Sowerby to a lady named Eliza Lofthouse, whose family had been in Sowerby for quite sometime.

From what my grandfather says, Charles was from the essex area.  He has also mentioned Wakefield.

Any clues?

No proof yet as to where Charles Henry was born, I have been speaking to my Grandfather who has been telling me all about where he was born and his father and what not.

On the Charles Henry Cross marriage certificate it has the exact date of marriage, and Charles' father's name on there, which is David.  David also has a middle name, but I can not make it out, nor can I make out what his occupation is.  I have been told that Charles was a labourer, and also a malster (spelling?), and there was something about a curator as well, and these occupations could include David also, but I have to write down these details better next time I speak to him.  As I say, no proof, just things my Grandad has told me.

Thanks again

Sorry about that!  Slight confuzzleness on my behalf there.

Charles Henry Cross was born around 1894 (he was married in 1915, and he was 21 in 1915 - that's what his marriage certificate says - there is no specific birth date) making his father born only around 1870, I've got all this information in front of me for Eliza and her father and stuff, and I got confused with some dates.  Apologies.

As I said - I couldn't find Charles Henry on tje 1901 census, I don't know why.
Thanks

I found Eliza's siblings and parents, even a step sister (i am a bit confused as some of my information conflicts in regards to her siblings - but at least I know they all lived in Sowerby). I found Eliza's birth, haven't checked up on her death, but I feel I don't need to just yet.  How can all her details be there but not Charles Henry?  His father was David Cross, he has a middle name but I can't read it on the certificate - old and tattered script writing.  It is so bizarre.

I have been on Ancestry.co.uk on the BMD index, and I can find an Eliza Lofthouse married in 1915 (which is correct, i have the marriage certificate).  However I can't find Charles Henry Cross - it is as if he has been wiped from the records.  He was born around 1893, died around 1950 and married in 1915 (to Eliza).  Nothing comes up on him anywhere.  Very frustrating.

Looking for ANY info on a David Cross, possibly born in Wakefield, or essex Sible Hedingham.  Born somewhere between 1840-1850.  He was a malster (spelling?), and had a middle name, but I am not sure what it is, as the document it is on is very old and the script writing is hard to read.  He had a son named Charles Henry Cross, who was also a malster and born in Sible Hedingham.  Charles married Eliza Lofthouse.  That is all the relevant information I have, any more anyone can get me would be fantastic.

Hi there,

I am trying to find out more about my Great Grandfather, William John Hull, he married a lady named Gladys Dalton Pine.  He would have been born around the early 1890s I would think, and may have been born in Snaton or Pickering.  Perhaps if you could look in whatever census is available for around that time that would be great!  Sorry I don't have any more information for you to go off.

Thanks.

Claire
