hi thanks for your help on this one. I have found a marriage that I think is for Gertrude. Gertrude Maud Jordan 1907 in Newcastle upon Tyne. My Gran, Hettie or Hetty, was born Byker Newcastle Northumberland in 1893, I have her birth cert, she married in 1913. I know she left home young as she did not get on with her fathers partner, who was actually down as a servent living with William jordan in 1911. I thought she may have been living with her sister Gertrude, but of course I am only assuming so she could be anywhere. Does that help narrow down the search at all, hope so I have tried all combinations on the 1911 census and she does not show up at all. Her husband Richard Chaters who she married in 1913 does not seem to want to be found either. He was living in Gateshead in 1901, his father dies in 1905. His siblings were:
William Chaters 1883
Sarah Jane ………. 1889
Benny ………1898
John ……… 1893
Edward ………. 1900
Mary Ann ………. 1895
His mother was Sarah Jane Chaters. the name Chaters has been spelt several ways over diff census, Chators Chater, chaytor ect, so its not easy to keep tabs on them. Richard was born Maryport Cumberland in 1886. I though that they may have been together in 1911 but nothing shows up for either of them, its the first time I have tried searching 1911 as I have had to wait for Durham and Northumberland records to be added, it would be great to find either one of them.
Thanks Kathy

Hi, can anyone find my gran on the 1911 census, I have credits so I am not asking you to buy the record, its just that I cant find her in the search boxes. I have found the record for her father but she is not living with him. I believe she had a sister Gertrude that was married and traveling the country at this time so my gran may have been with her. Here is the family in the 1901 census for ref.

Elizabeth Lister age 63 abt 1838 Penrith, Cumberland, England Grandmother, Elswick Northumberland
William O Jordan 36 abt 1865 Embleton, Northumberland, England finisher in shell factory Head Elswick Northumberland
John R Jordan 13 abt 1888 Newcastle Upon Tyne, Northumberland, Son Elswick Northumberland he died in 1905
Gertrude M Jordan 12abt 1889 Newcastle Upon Tyne, Northumberland, Daughter Elswick Northumberland
Thomas W Jordan 11 abt 1890 Newcastle Upon Tyne, Northumberland, Son Elswick Northumberland
James H Jordan 10 abt 1891 Newcastle Upon Tyne, Northumberland, Son Elswick Northumberland
*Hetty E Jordan 8 abt 1893 Newcastle Upon Tyne, Northumberland, Daughter Elswick Northumberland *

My Gran was Hettie jordan, she married in 1913 so would be age abt 18 and single in 1911. Her sister was called Gertrude Maud Jordan but I belive she was married to a man named Cresswell, but I have never found her living with him.

If you can locate my gran in the 1911 cenus can you give me the details so that I can buy the census record.
Thanks so much for taking the time to read this if you can help please do
