I need help trying get a copy of the 1901 census and before for James Ainsley, (Quarryman in 1911) with daughter Elizabeth I think 7 years old. (Not Elizabeth from Gateshead.) She got married in April 1911 aged 18 to John Thomas Stoves in Wingate, co.Durham..
I would be most grateful.
Thank you
Brian.

On the marriage certificate...who are the witnesses? What address does Elizabeth give? Do you know if she had any siblings?

Suzanne

HiSuzi, Many thanks for your reply. The witness' where John foster and Anne Ainsley. Living in South Wingate at the time of the marriage. Elizabeth is my grandmother she had a daughter named Ivy.

Thanks
Brian.

So, you are looking for James Ainsley from 1901 backwards? What year of birth does he have and where was he born and likely to be living. (Did you get his details from the 1911 census or the marriage cert?)

Heather, Thanks, you are correct i am looking for 1901 and beyond. His dob i cannot confirm all i know is in 1911 he was living in wingate. Not much i know.

Thank you,
Brian

What occupation does she give for her father James? It is possible he was deceased but it wasn't recorded...I assume your info is from marriage cert NOT 1911 census?

Suzanne

Suzi, 100% correct in your assumption. It shows occupation as quarryman.

They arent leaping out, are they! Dad definitely alive in 1911? I wonder if this is the birth (I dont know the area)

Name: Elizabeth Ainsley
Birth: Sep 1893 - Hartlepool (1859-1938), Durham

I wonder if dad died before the 1901 and mum had remarried?

Maybe this one, although occup not a match.

Heather,
According to the marriage cert he is alive. It is possible this is Elizabeth as we are from the Hartlepool area but i'm not sure she is, It depends on whether her father is James, I have a sneaky feeling Anne may have been the mother but again not sure. Sorry, Brian.

mgnv,
thank you for your reply. I don't think this is the one as nothing seems to gell. But hey, many thanks.

There is a family shown as AMSLEY in 1901.

Father James has a different occupation, but his wife and a daughter are Annie.
All the family born Hartlepool.

EDIT
Daughter Elizabeth is the right age.

Gwen, thanks, but all through the spelling has been Ainsley, great try. Many thanks for trying.
Brian.

Sorry Brian...
What I meant was
A search finds them transcribed as AMSLEY, but the image reads Ainsley.
If you think about it an a...and an..i.... together look rather like an m

They are living in Hutton Henry, Wingate at 7 East View

There are a number of Amsley mistransed from Ainsley Brian. If you look at the actual image you see the correct name.

Gwen, again thanks. Are you saying wife and daughter are called Annie? On the wedding cert it is spelt Anne or Anni but the daughter is deffinetly Elizabeth.

Heather and Gwen, looks like i may have to try the Amsley spelling to see what i get. Thanks.

Gwen, I have been looking at the Amsley in hutton henry and i have a feeling this could be the one. Do you have the census for this and if so could you please let me see it.
Kind regards,
Brian.

Where have you been looking?.... Which site?
Do you have access to Ancestry?...If so just click on..View image.

If not, you'll need to send me a message direct ( click on my name) and send your e mail address.

Gwen, I was looking at the 1901censusonline.com, here i found Ainsley's record. I don't have ancestry, i paid for credits on census.com. It was a problem cos i live in Thailand and don't have a credit card.
I now know James was 47 in 1901 and was born in Hartlepool. He had 5 children, Annie, Maggie, James, Robert and Elizabeth.
Hooray. I would be so happy if you could find anything before this.

Truly grateful for your help.
Brian.
