Hi everyone,
You were all so helpful last time I was on here,
I thought I'd try again.
I am looking for my husbands' family this time. His paternal Grandfather Alfred Henry Grist c1881 born in Wiltshire?.
We did look on Friday but I think we got the wrong one, sorry
Thank you all in advance
Christine

Christine

Hard to know what was the right thing to do in those days,
they seemed to have stayed together for a fair few years though as my husband remembers it.

Thank you again Polly that took some looking up. I am sure you have pleased at least two members of the Grist family today.
And a big thank you to everyone else who took time to find out this information for me.
It has been a great help.

Polly am I being thick?
In the 1901 census it lists householder 9
Alfred Albert as son to the head of the household and Rosina householder 10 as wife to householder.
But also householder 6 as wife and other children as of head of household.
