Kate Hughes born c1883 Rotherham

[Haff]

Would appreciate help in finding information about Kate Hughes family, including parents.
In 1911 Census Kate was living with her husband William Edward Holmes at 295 Broom Road, Wellgate, Rotherham and their children Elsie, James, Harry and Evlyn.
Kate and William were married in Rotherham in 1904. Kate was born c1883 Rotherham.
I also know that Kate had two sisters, Nellie and Mary. Nellie had two daughters Clara (claire) and Connie.

In 1901 Census there was a Kate Hughes, aged 18 born Rotherham, who was a servant in Bower household at 277 Wellgate - this may, or may not, be the Kate that I am seeking information on.

Many thanks in advance.

This is a long shot, but have you noticed this family in 1901, Charles and Harriet Hughes,
with children - Charles, Nellie, Mary and Annie. Living in Rotherham :

RG13/4392, Folio 19, Page 30.

In 1891, they also have an 8 year old daughter called Catherine ?

I also know that Kate had two sisters, Nellie and Mary. Nellie had two daughters Clara (claire) and Connie.

Do you know what year Nellie was born and could you say who she married. I was wondering whether her details might fit with the Nellie I found ?

Pels,
unfortunately I do not currently have any more information on Nellie - information that I have is based on recent conversation with elderly relative who did not provide any more details on Nellie. Will add it to my list of questions for follow up conversation.
I have seen the 1891 Census that you refer to that shows a Charles and Harriet Hughes having four children (Catherine, Charles, Bernard and Ellen) living with them at 45 Wellgate Rotherham. Location seemed a possible and I did wonder whether this Catherine was the Kate I am looking for.
I do not have access to 1901 Census and have not seen the one with children Charles, Nellie, Mary and Annie that you mention. Would seem this family is a possible but relative that I spoke with only mentioned Kate, Nellie and Mary - no mention of other sisters Annie, Ellen or brothers Charles and Bernard.....more questions for my list methinks.

many thanks for help

I would imagine Nellie was in fact Ellen, these names do tend to be interchangeable.

Someone will hopefully come along in the meantime, but if not - I'll certainly look at this again tomorrow.

Kind regards,

Hi again Haff,

Ellen was aged 1 in 1891, so most likely the same child.
