Hello

Could this be the birth of George

George Thomas REAGAN 1860 LOUTH

Hello Cathy,

I am having such trouble finding George in any census apart from 1861. Nor can I see your family in 1901. 

There is a George Reagan b 1863, Lincoln visiting in Wakefield, Yorkshire. He has a wife Fanny. He is a general labourer.

I can't see him either in 1891.

Hi Heywood

In 1901 the family are on RG13/3974/149/51 18 Woolman Road, Blackpool

Emma Ragan, born Gawthorpe, Yorks, circa 1861

I thought that George might have been away in the Boer War but he's not with her on the 1911 free index either

Thanks - no idea why I couldn't spot her but was also looking for her with Fred- rather than Frederick.

I noticed that George's mother moved to Yorkshire but he is not with the family in 1871    The family there is confusing though.

Just found him with the Taylors 

So do you have him in 1881 and 1891?

[Gadget]

In 1871 he's indexed as Bagan:

Jacksons Buildings, Southill, Yorkshire
RG10/4605/32/15

Benjamin Taylor, 64, publican, b. ? Lincolnshire
Mary, 57, -do-
Mary, 26, b. Silsey, Lincolnshre
George Wm. grdson, 5, b. Dewsbury
Benjamin, 2, grdson,  b. -do-
George Thos Ragan, grandson, 11, b. Louth

Not found him afterwards and can't find a marriage to an Emma so far 


He did die in Blackpool (Fylde RD) though

1891 -RG12/3734/71/17

Dewsbury as Taylor

[heywood]

He married as George Taylor December quarter 1880 to Emma Dawson

In 1881 they are with the Dawsons (as in 1891).
He is a beamer in a Woollen Mill

Hi Thank you for looking ..It is confusing the whole family sometimes used the name Taylor which was his Mums maiden name she was Jane Taylor..His father was Michael Ragan..I thought that he may have been in the Boar war too but did not find anything .got him in the other census but not the 1901 or 1911 and I have used both names He died in 1914 this i have confirmed with the death cert..
Cathy.
