Find Ancestors

could you please help me as I,m stuck again with this family ...
Kate married Thomas Wolstencroft in 1909 and had 4 children in 1912 13 16 18 with a man called William H Williams ....How do I search for her or him on 1911 census ......as I have tried with the batches that are avaliable and have found his family and hers BUT not them any of them !!!
Any ideas would be looked into
Thanks

The info you need to find them will be as follows but I dont think its fair to ask others to look when it cost so much ....I,m happy to pay the cost but need help as to where and how to look when one lady KATE POGSON born 1882 keeps changeing her name ........

Thomas Gordon Wolstencroft born 1880 Married Kate 17th Feb 1909 Motor engineer lived at 21 Larkhall Rise till he went ??????

william Henry Williams born !!?? unknown BUT fathered Kate first child in 1912

What I would like to know is what would she be down as ????

This is ALL LONDON

You can only search on exact surnames with no wildcards. If Wolstencroft has been misspelled, there is no way of finding it.

I'm not having any luck finding my relatives either.

Rose

I have found a family on the 1911 with the name mispelt I just kept putting in different spellings and found them living at the same address as in 1901

Margaret

Sorry Kemp, I can't find then. Try again after the 3 Jan when the census is officially released. Maybe by then we will be able to use wildcards which would help

Bob I agree that people should stay near there computer when they post a request for help however your question did come 3 hours after the original post & it was 1.30am. It is unreasonable to expect anyone to sit for that length of time or in this case all night to monitoring a thread

NONE of my family name appear, yet there should have been at least 8 of them in London on 1911.
Its seems, I suspect that the family name MAY have been Aliased as French,
Therefore they appear double barrelled as XXXXXX FRENCH , but not as the actual name,

food for thought......?
Bob

Many many Thanks for your kind help again .....

Bob ......I have 4 children one is autistic ......aged 22 one is sick with the sickness bug and the other two are wrapping presents to help me .......
I,m very sorry not to be here at 1.30 am but as you MIGHT have guessed I managed to get my 22 year old into bed and am waiting for the other to dash to the bathroom!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry to keep you up !!!!!

Bob ...my family are ALL in LONDON and I,ve found many of them on the bit that has been released to the public at present .....

Questions ......what do you feel you need to know that hasnt been covered ...??????????????????
Kate POGSON ...maiden name

Married Thomas Wolstencroft 1909
Father of her first child William Henry Williams


WHAT NAME WOULD SHE BE UNDER IF SHE DIDNT DIVORCE THOMAS !!!!!????????

So I can look for her !!!! MYSELF

Claire ...what I did do was just put in the surnames and it gave me all of them and that then told me his brothers and sisters and parents are still at Larkhill Road.........but no sign of Thomas

I tried about 10 different versions of Wolstencroft with no forename but still no sign of your Thomas

hi Kemp,

No suggestions for Thomas .......

but if the child born in 1912 is William's, she might well be listed under Williams?

If she is the Kate Jane born in Pimlico to Catherine Pogson in the 1901 census (b approx 1882), then she may be the Kate b approx 1884 in "Pomlico" in the 1891 census?

I can't find a Kate Williams born in Pimlico on the London 1911, but that census has a Kate Jane Williams living in Fulham b approx 1884 in London. One to rule out?

Hi Kemp,
Have come late to your thread....found this birth any good? You are probably seen it..
Births Jun 1884

Pogson Kate Jane St. Geo. H. Sq. 1a 442



Happy Christmas

Regards Vera

Thanks everyone ....you have been helpful....again I didnt use my brain ......and YES she is there on the 1911 census under WOLSTANCROFT ......just took some advice and a long shot and found her ...........She says she is a widow so I guess Good Old Thomas died .....within a year of marrying her ..........LOL ...

BUT I must pass a tip on to you all .....I found her by looking for her sister ....who never married and still in 1911 called Pogson ...there was kate with her

In 1911 Kate was being called Katherine !!!!

I think I like this lady!!
Thanks again people for your time and help ...

There are These,
Katharine F Williams mmn Pogson bn 1912 Chelsea, 1a 710

Diana M " " " " " " 1922 " " "" " " 1a 618

Doesnt seem to be a marriage though.

Bob Peters

READ the post above ........................

Yes these are my family ........

BUT bob ................why was she calling herself many names

Kate Jane Pogson
kate jane wolstencroft
kate jane wolstancroft
katherine Jones wolstancroft
K J williams

As we now know she didnt seem to care or ......know who she was

she was widowed by 1911 !!!!????? or just hidding from someone !!! Her father in law was a vicar!

Kemp

if you are getting all those names from the various censuses, it may be that it isn't KATE who is calling herself by all these different names

.................. but that either the census takers (or whoever filled in the census) didn't hear the name properly, didn't listen properly didn't know how to spell the name(s) etc, and/or the modern day transcriber(s) have mistranscribed what was on the original census!


for example WolstOncroft vs WolstAncroft could very simply be a mis-transcription. Similarly JAne and JOneS


You should ALWAYS look at the census image to check what is on there ................... which means paying big amounts for the 1911 if what I am reading is true.



I can give you one example from my family.

I couldn't find my grandfather on the 1891 census. His name was Schofield, simple eh? After weeks and weeks of searching (and learning lots about how to find an elusive relative), I found the family ............. as Silufield. When I checked the image, it very clearly was Schofield to anyone who knew the name.


Unfortunately, the modern day transcribers have to write what they SEE not what they think it should be.



sylvia

Ok ...let me try to clean this up some

My mum J M H ....born J M Busy
Her mother Katherine Charlotte Williams
her mothers maiden name Pogson

Her name kate jane williams on Katherines Birth certificate maiden name Pogson formerly Wolstencroft

Katherine then married Stanley Busby and ADDED Wolstencroft to her marriage certificate

Kate Jane born 1882 married Thomas Gorden Wolstencroft in Fed 1909 her marriage to him said she was Kate Jane pogson

1911 census SHOWS kate with her sister Edith Jones Pogson at 60 gloucester Road London (the family home )
Spelling changed for Kate jane wolstencroft to
Katherine J wolstancroft

ALL this is only after getting certificates and getting confirmation from cross matching names addresses ect
Kate mum also Catherine Pogson MMN JONES died at 60 gloucester Road 1912 with Edith at her side

WHAT I cant find are
1 marriage of Kate jane to ....Mr WILLIAMS
2 Where did Thomas go in 1911....no death reg or place of adode ...YET

Thats all

But I also cant find Kate Janes DEATH reg

Edoth uses JONES coz she was born before her parents were married

ok

do you have Kate Jane's birth certificate, or even her birth registration?


What is her name on there?

sylvia

so she was registered as Kate Jane

Births Jun 1884 (>99%)

Pogson Kate Jane St. Geo. H. Sq. 1a 442



although of course, this doesn't rule out the possibility that she was baptised Katherine, or that she herself later decided that she preferred Katherine!





Anyone can change their name to whatever they want, and you don't have to go through any legal process.






sylvia

May be it was a common-law marriage ........ but when she went to register your mother she was asked her maiden name and if she had had any previous name.



Don't forget, the father did not have to attend at the registrar's, and no-one asked for proof of marriage.
