1901 Census Lookup

[PaulFincken]

Hi,
Looking for a Peter Forsyth born around 1888, not sure exactly where he was born. I know that by 1916 he was married to Lucy Farrar and living in Hartlepool, but no details exist that I have found. I have two possibilities at the moment, one born in Newcastle 1886 and another born Prescot 1889, so thought I would try and explore both.

Any information would be great.

Cheers
Paul

This is the mystery. I dont know enough about him. I do know he married Lucy Farrow 1910 in Hartlepool and had children which I have details for. What I cant seem to get the bottom of is where her was born or what his parents were called. I think I might have to get the marriage certificate to find out.

Peter and Lucy can be found in Hartlepool in the 1911 census.

The index shows these other members of the household:
James Forsyth, 4 months
Euphemia Forsyth aged 45
James Forsyth aged 19.

Edit: my apologies, the above search was incorrect. I've just cross-checked it, and the only other member of the household was James aged 4 months
