Find Ancestors

I couldnt believe it when i read this ....I have printed off the actual image of the 1911 census for Ernest Buck 1892-1956. His parents William Buck and Mary. The 1911 census states that the family are living at 181 Kew Road, Birkdale, Southport - a property consisting of 5 rooms. William and Mary (Parents) have been married 29yrs by then and have a total of 18 children... 13 are still alive and 5 have deceased.

The Children are:

Anne 1886
Alice 1888
Elizabeth 1891
Ernest 1891
Edith 1895
Jessie 1897
Percy 1898
Herbert 1901
John 1903
Harold 1905
Ethel 1908

All born Birkdale, Southport. NW England

Many Thanks

It might be worth finding out if there is a family history society in the area in question. Someone may be willing to do some parish record lookups - baptisms and deaths ... or there may be a CD available with local records.

Spotting births and deaths on FreeBMD might be a bit hit and miss depending on how rare/common the surname is in the area.

Unfortunately none of the children are born 1911 or after so no mothers maiden name....unless i purchase a birth cert...

Have you got the mariage of William and Mary please?

i am searching on freebmd........ Birkdale, Lancashire, England 1885 is a poss.. There is a submitted record on IGI for Birkdale, Lancashire, England 1885...but no extracted record

If they said they had been married for 29 yers on the 1911 that would make it about 1882.

I notice there are no children by the names of Mary or William.

There are two Percy Buck born Jan Feb March and July Aug Sept in Ormskirk the same year. Now if one was born in Jan and one born in Sept that would be 8 months in between?? But it could be two different ones!

I saw that one Chris.
