Ensall family tree

[Redda]

Hi! I'm trying to trace the Ensall line in my family, but struggling! My great grandfather was William Ensall (1897-1964) and he was married to Edith Wild (1900-1968). William's father was also William Ensall, but he died very young (1872-1905). His wife was Elizabeth Moyneux, who died in 1936.

Beyond that, I can find little else, even on censuses.
Can anyone help? x

You've given us an idea of dates but perhaps if you could tell us where they lived we might be able to help by finding them in census or other records or even suggest where you could search next.

[Redda]

Ahh yes that would help. I know that my grandparents were born in Rochdale, Lancashire, so William and Edith would have lived there too. William and Elizabeth as far as I can figure were born in lancashire too, possibly in the wigan area.

Hello Redda

Have you found the family in 1911 yet?

We are not allowed to do look ups,but from the indexes there appears to be a 13 year old William living in Rochdale......but born in Scotland!

Ah yes that will be him. I found him on the 1901 but not the 1911. Will look, thanks! x

Hi Carol

that gives a yro f birth of about 1866 for him, making him 20 at marriage
Makes more sense.

Interesting relationships in 1901
