Hi, Joan,

Just phoned my mum, and she thinks there was a gertude and Dolly, and a brother Emmanuel, but mot 100% sure, although there could have been more children...think thats where I got mixed up with the names, between Emmanuel and William.

Just had a look on the 1881 census and no Emmanuel, so the name I remembered must have been my gt grandparents child.

There are lots of records for Wolstanton in the early 1900's. Do you know how many children they had?

Hi Libby
I was sure it was Emmanuel, but could be wrong, I know Prudence had at least one child Frances born 1903 in Burslem, so maybe that could be a clue.
Thankyou for your help

Hello, could someone be so kind as to look for a family for me on the 1901 census.

My gt, gt, grandmother Prudence Sayers born C1876 in Burslem Staffordshire, she married Emmanuel Whitby bor C1880 in Staffordshire, but not sure of the area think it was Burslem also.

Also if anyone could find Emmanuel and his family on the 1881 and 1891 I would be eternaly greatful, I just cannot find him!

Any help is very much appreciated.
Lee:)
