Hello Dotty,

Could I possibly ask you again for a Birth Look-up for my Grandfather, William James Wilson, (1860-1937)?

I asked you a few years ago, back I had no definate time frame then.

Working from the 1901 and 1911 Censuses, I have narrowed his Birth Date down to being between April 1859 and March 1860.

He gives place of birth as 'MANCHESTER, LANCS. on both Censuses.

Many Thanks, Romilly.

Thats the problem Dotty, - I can't find his birth, & I can't find him definately on the 1861/'71/'81 or 1891 Censuses ::) ::)

On his Marriage Cert, (in Swansea in June 1893) he gives his father as 'William Wilson' (deceased) Occupation 'Mason'. He then appears on the 1901 and 1911 Censuses in Swansea, married to my Grandmother, & giving his place of birth as 'Manchester, Lancs.' on both of them.

I've spent about the last 30yrs looking, (off and on:-) & I can't definately find him.
It is very frustrating... ???
Anyone who might have been able to help is long dead...

Cheers, Romilly.

Thank you very much Dotty.
Unfortunately it doesn't give me any info on who he was. He did make it to Australia and married and had family. But we can't find any info on him before this. I cant find a Bapt or anything to tell me who his parents are.
Still I'll keep searching. Thanks again.

Look-up Tudge

I found Doris  Cornes with her mother Alice c1858 and siblings Ernest b1893,John b1897 and Arthur 1898 staying at Park Street Prestwich. This was on the 1901 census.Staying with them were Alice  b1886 Herbert 1887 .Sydney 1889 and Leonard 1883 they were nephews and neice of Alices HusbandLooking further into the latter info I found these children with there widowed father John on the 1891 census under the name of Carnes he gave his place of birth as Staffordshire so this may indicate that Alice's husband could have been born there as well Going off Alice's age this could have been a second marriage for both.
Doris married in 1916 see Free BMD site for details.
That's all I have found out at the moment

Hi Dotty,
I hope you can help on your next trip to the records office. I'm after info from the Darwen electoral roll (if LRO hold it) for the period 1943-1953 concerning my Gt Aunt. Her name is Annie Hudson b.1921 and she was resident at 65 Exchange Street, Darwen in November 1943, when she was the informant for her fathers death. Unfortunately contact was lost with her and I don't know if/when she married or what her married name might be.
I'm hoping that by finding the date she was last known at Exchange Street I may be able to work out a married name from the registers then try to find her from there.
Any help you could offer would be much appreciated.

Many thanks
Andrew
