Name Problem
« on: Sunday 31 May 20 05:12 BST (UK) »
I recently posted a question on the Lookups forum as I was unable to find a family on the 1901 census although I could on the 1911.  I got a great reply from Kay showing this info:
Quote
1901 - 59, Lobley Street, Heckmondwike, Dewsbury

Herbert   Walker   28   Manufacturers Clerk   Liversedge, Yorkshire
Marn Ann   Walker   28 Bradford, Yorkshire
Hilda M   Walker 6   Liversedge, Yorkshire
Percy   Walker 4   Liversedge, Yorkshire
Edna   Walker   1   Liversedge, Yorkshire
Frank   Rhodes   Brother-In-Law   27   Hairdresser   Gomersal, Yorkshire,
Emma   Rhodes   Sister-In-Law   27   Bradford, Yorkshire

The image looks like Hubert Walker

Kay
I am certain that is the missing entry, the names are correct as are places and years of birth (even though the name says Herbert when it should be Hubert).
HOWEVER, I have the marriage certificate for Hubert and Mary Ann (on Dec 10 1892) and it very clearly shows her maiden name as McDonald.  Again I am certain the marriage is the correct one.
That being the case, who are Frank&Emma Rhodes?  Who's Brother/Sister-in-law can they be?
Baffled    :o

There is an interesting Frank Rhodes in the 1891 census (it says born 1877 Gomersal rather than 1874) but he is a hairdresser .... anyway, have a look at the family which contains a number of Rhodes and Walkers.

I think it is the right Frank - age looks like 16 though obviously transcribed as 14 hence the anomaly in year of birth.
