Please find this man!

[poolqwizrd]

I have been looking for this man from the start and have not found anything. He is James Riley, he is on the 1911 census as born in Dewsbury and has been married to my grt grandma for 1 year, they are aged 30 and 22 the only record of a marriage is James O'Riley in 1909 and ages are 31 and 21. Have tried searching for him and his father Patrick but cant find them in Dewsbury. There is also only one James Riley born in Dewsbury with middle name of Charles around thattime, but he also appears in 1911 census so he can be ruled out.

Can someone please help me!!!

Thanks   Paul

James was a Dyers Labourer and Patrick was a Masons Labourer, his address is given as 38 princess street, dewsbury. one of the witnesses is john O'Rile, so he maybe a brother

Ive had a look at 1901 and there doesnt appear to be a 38 Princess Street 36 and 40 appear though.I cant find a Patrick who is a masons labourer either.

Hi Paul
Try 1881 census Family Search for James Reilly born 1874 Newry Down Co Ireland Father's name is Patrick.

The family seemed to move around and on the 1881 census living in Lancs.
Maybe worth having a look at.

I have ancestors living at 104 Princes Street, Dewsbury on the 1861 census. If you have a old map of Dewsbury you will see it is in the area of Asylum, Dewsbury near to Daw Green
All the best

Alternatively, my wife's great, great uncle was James RILEY, born Apr-Jun 1878 in the Wakefield district.

His parents were Patrick RILEY, born 1853 in Cavan, Ireland and Harriet VARLEY, born 1853 in Walton, Yorkshire.

James had one sister, Mary Ellen, born 1876 in Wakefield.

Riley, James O 13 Wakefield, Yorkshire Son  Horbury  Yorkshire

Thanks Pete

I had noticed that family but i have now ruled it out, I have found James Riley, John Riley and Joseph Riley in one household in 1891 and their father died very young, their mother was margaret which makes sence as margaret is still a strong name in that line of the family. everything ive found has them born in dewsbury but no births for them, so still some mystery!

Thanks
