oh my lord apologies. to everyone james was a copper works foreman and isaac worked for him. i am so sorry for confusing people. we are really trying to find out what happened to isaac from birth....who his natural parents were. its just that in later life he lost both his legs in an accident and doesnt seem to have had much of a beginning either. ...apologies again. marie

I'm confused.

You said that you had him in 1901, and that he was a labourer, and that you couldn't find his wife ...

More info Marie!

You have him in early censuses - who were his parents? siblings? Or just copy the 1871 census here, is easiest and best.

Where was he in 1901?

Marie

Marie Report 4 Aug 2009 20:23

hi janey and many thanks. he was born 1852 0r 53 in speke lancashire. labourer. and in the early census living in speke, but in the 1901 living at 17 mersey view road halewood lancashire. married but cant find wife.this is all fascinating but it needs some studying doesnt it? best regards marie

JaneyCanuck

JaneyCanuck Report 4 Aug 2009 20:05

I'm betting he was born between 51 and 61 ... and in 61, there's only about a dozen of them. ;)

JaneyCanuck

JaneyCanuck Report 4 Aug 2009 20:04

Do post those details, Marie! This is a chance to learn some tricks. ;)

He could be misspelled "Ledbetter", his given name could be "Jas" ... or "Jane" ...

Also, if he had an occupation in one of the censuses, let us know what it is -- the 1881 can be searched by occupation.

AnnCardiff Report 4 Aug 2009 20:02

twenty-four James Leadbetter's on the 1881 census on the free Mormon LDS site - where was he born and when?

Andrew

Andrew Report 4 Aug 2009 19:57

His name may have been misspelt in other census records. If you want to post the details, name and place/ date of birth along with the census details you have, then we can try to find misssing records.
