Hi,
Many thanks, it looks like the birth is right Dec 1920, but she married a Eric Spooner,

This looks like her mothers marriage:)

Many many thanks.

I can't find anything on Elizabeth Spooner, nee, Hull, she died in the 60's, she was approx. 42 when she died, I also can't find her marriage records.

Thanks for info.

Hi Angela,

I have just left the marriage info on your other thread.

Would it be possible to delete one of the threads to avoid further confusion?

Many thanks,

Thanks Dea,

Just for working our their date of births.
Thanks
Angi.

Angela Report 30 Jan 2008 14:53

I have had a look at the original census page on this site for joe hull, and there isn't a george but there is a ben hull.
Have I got my wires crossed?!
Help!

Dea Report 30 Jan 2008 16:01

Hi Angela,

I don't use the census on this site - far too expensive.

I don't know how it works on here - do you see the actual image or just a transcription?

I have rechecked the image again on Ancestry and it definitely says - children Lawrence, JOE and George !! - NO Ben. !

They are at 10 Isabella Street, Wigan - 1901.

Is this the same one as you have?

Dea Report 30 Jan 2008 16:10

Ah, - I see, - you are looking on 1891 !!

Angela

Angela Report 30 Jan 2008 16:21

Yes
I have looked at both, could it be that ben had died by 1901?

Dea Report 30 Jan 2008 16:26

Hull Ben age 3 Wigan 8c 24

Dea Report 30 Jan 2008 16:43

We will have to work on that one - one step at a time !!

He could be with relatives or anything.

Will come back to him later.

Where do you want to go next?
