Census 1901 - Can you help to find Stephen Callear (Treeton/Swinton?)

[heywood]

The age doesn't tie in with the other information that I have for Stephen (the father).

His age is he 71 then (so he would be shown as 61 in 1901).

He is recorded as being widowed in the 1911 census but I have yet to confirm when his wife Frances "Fanny" died. The latest fact that I have is the 1883 birth of your youngest.

I can’t see another one in censuses and he is living in the same place in 1911 with daughter Sarah, I think but I agree that it is not exact.

Edith a servant in Draughton, Yorkshire

Not on 1901 census.
Stephen senior & junior or John

They would not appear to be anywhere in Rotherham Yorkshire, I suspect the record was not completed or did not survive?

The following appeared during my search.

Susan Gallear   Marriage 25 January 1892 Treeton, Yorkshire Birth 1876 
father Stephen Gallear Spouse Abraham Alfred Nicklin

John on family search

The military records mentioned earlier are in Find my Past indexes.

Added - now showing in Ancestry search  but Fold3 is a pay site.

Yes - it is strange. Both Stephens are AWOL in 1901. Maybe they went abroad on holiday - oh,wait its 1901 and they're coal miners!

I'm stilling filling out their branch so I'm hoping they'll pop up with a relative. 🤞

The younger one is likely to be in the army. I have posted that information.
The older one might be the one already posted -in the same area as daughter Sarah. Census information relies upon the person filling out the form.

The younger Stephen’s WW1 record shows that he had previously served in the Yorkshire regiment.
There is a date 1st February 1904 - perhaps discharge?

Do you have this prison record? Unfortunately I can’t decipher the offence.

In 1891 3844/123
Stephen is recorded as a widower.

There is this death:
December quarter 1888 Doncaster
Fanny Gallear, 49 yrs

Morning and yes, I have seen that death record. I am not overly familiar with the Doncaster/Rotherham area so I had put it to oneside while trying to find the missing 1901 record for Stephen. If he's Treeton then I'd have expected the death to be record at Rotheram, while Swinton seems closer to Doncaster.
