- 1901 census results for May Buckley
- 1901 census results for May Buckleys family
- marriage record for May Buckley and James Andrews
- children of May Buckley and James Andrews

Will need marriage certificate to show James Andrews fathers name, and place of birth to find him, as common name and no year of birth given.

PMed T
- Marriage for Thomas Gardiner and possible spouse names
- checked census records but cannot find him
- listed possible children born with surname gardiner in same area, after marriage

Recommend getting the marriage certificate of Thomas F Gardiner to see spouse name and going from there.

Hi Emma. We are looking for my Gt Grandad, John Edward West. c1874 Adderbury Oxford, married Ellen Iley 1895 Adderbury Oxford.
They have 3 girls, Alice 1897, Emily 1898 and my Gran Rose Margaret in 1900, in Burnley Lancs. She was as Cooper not West as was the family in 1901, but we do'nt know why or why they moved up to Lancs.
It was said he was in the Navy or captian on a ship, away, but we haven't found him.
Ellen died in Brackley Northampton worhouse with the girls in 1915, wife of Edward West, but no trace of him. Don't know where they were in 1911.
He is deceased on my Grans marriage certificate in 1922.
Think he was perhaps a bad one, in gaol or somewhere, Hope you can help please, Carol.
