Robert Report 20 May 2010 10:47

Morning detectives....anyone with any suggestions please....this is friends brickwall i've tried to climb but its stumped me.

Edith Evelyn Illingworth married Harold Booth on the 30th Sept 1916 in Oldham. She is shown as age 20.
It says on the cert that her father is Alfred - not showing deceased so presumably still alive. Address at time of marriage is Green Street Oldham. Can't find them in any cenus records and am completely stupmed! ?? Anyone have their thinking caps on this morning??

Well we may have found the right family then Robert!! Albert is a coal miner Hewer so worked underground. All the children went to Public School on the census I put up.

Robert Report 20 May 2010 11:12

I have a feeling either the Albert on the census was wrong or the Alfred on the cert, either way, the Edith and Wombwell fit, and given that I can't find anything that is exactly right...but I will let the well oiled cogs turn and see if anything more comes up...thanks to all so far!!

just for info on the above 1911 census on the original Edith is listed but crossed out. They appear to have put down all their children and then scrubbed out those who are not at home. Edith is listed as being 15 so that would put her age right.

Barnsley covers Wombwell district
heres the birth spelt IllingSworth
Births Mar 1896

Illingsworth Edith Barnsley 9c 279

no second name though BUT there aren't any Edith Evelyn births listed for that time either, so maybe she added the name
