Help to find brothers in 1911 census please
« on: Sunday 01 September 13 14:28 BST (UK) »
I'm hoping that someone will cast a fresh pair of eyes over the 1911 census for me.  I'm looking for the following boys..

Stanley Willshaw born 1908, Lancashire/Manchester
Alexander Willshaw born 1910 Lancashire/Manchester

Mother, Jane Willshaw born 1880, is listed as a visitor in the Robinson household.

Father, George Willshaw born 1880 is listed living with his father Enoch Willshaw.

Many thanks

I suspect that the problem is that wheeldon has looked and can't find them  :-\

It might be worth buying a few credits with FindMyPast to look for the boys - sometimes people who can't be found on one can be found on the other.  :-\

Jane Stewart married George Willshaw Dec 1907  Chorlton. In the 1901 census Jane Stewart is with her parents Robert Stewart and Mary Jane Stewart, both born in Ireland. I wonder if the children were in Ireland with their grandparents as I can't see them in 1911.
