1901 Census - George & Annie Wragg

[Gerry]

I'm unsure whether or not Sheffield comes under West Riding but here goes.............

George Wragg married Annie Gertrude Milner in 1896 in Sheffield and I'm trying to trace their respective ancestors.    George  was born about 1870 and Annie about 1871, I believe both were born in Sheffield, however I don't have their parent's names.

They had a son, Harry, born about 1899.   First, can anyone help me with the 1901 census record which will hopefully confirm  when and where George and Annie were born.   Armed with this I want to go back to 1891  and 1881 and with fingers crossed this will identify both of them with their respective parents.

Might be that Harry was Charles H - parents names are correct.

 
George Wragg 31 Head born Sheffield: a File Hardener
Annie G Wragg 31 Wife ditto
Charles H Wragg 2 son ditto

Well spotted - I've changed it, thankyou !

There's a couple of GWs born at the right sort of time in the Sheffield / Nether Hallam area - would be best to get their Marriage Certificate to show Father's names.

Here's Annie Gertrude Milner with her family back in 1871:-

 
Sarah Eyre 57 (Widow) Head born Lancs, Stallybridge : a Monthly Nurse
Henry Milner 41 Son in Law born Sheffield: a Spring Knife Cutler
