Tracey,

Yep I'll put in an amendment as well to Family Relatives..

Can you take a look at this one on the 1891.... This is a William Stock, married(?) living with parents??

Now the 1911 def says William overwritten with Walter.... Walter and William are interchangeable.

Yes that's him in 1891 maybe he was visiting his parents for the night.

The whole family could have also been living with her parents anyway.

Sorry I've been away....


Other Maz will be pleased when she returns..

They didn't start having children until after 1891, this makes me think as they married in 1888 that her first child was born/lost around this time and she's recovering with her parents....?

Makes me wonder who Maz had found on the 1891 now, unless she made the same error with this one as she did with the first?

I think tho she has found a different Walter?

Hi girls and thank you sooo much for finding that marriage - my friend is over the moon!

I had given her the print-outs to take home with her earlier, so didn't have everything to hand straight away. Somehow though we both completely missed the fact that Rosina and Walter were shown as married in 1891 - mind you, we weren't looking for a marriage under the name of MorEton though! I think we just saw that she was with her parents and he was on his own and didn't look any further.

Walter in 1891 is on RG12; Piece: 1330; Folio 9; Page 12 transcribed as Waller! The child who died wasn't born until after 1901 - also Rosina, she died at a year old. First child was Bertie, registered soon after the 1891 census. So we can probably assume that Rosina went 'home' to mum to have her first baby while Walter was up in the big city trying to earn a living.

Anyway, thank you both again for all your help, it's very much appreciated.

Going for a lie down now, it's bad enough trying to get yer head round your own family, let alone someone else's, especially when they are just starting out and get VERY excited !!

Only glad to help.

I suppose a few small lessons have been learnt!

Never take for granted what a transcription tells you.... always check it for yourself!! Another has been found minutes ago whereby the childs age is listed as 19 instead of 9!!

Also, when trying to find a marriage alwayd try with both parties seperately if you cannot find a joint match! If you find a sole person use the vol page details for another search or go looking on the full BMD!!
