Hi. I posted a few days ago needing some help with Maria Louisa Crompton b Oldham 1867. Loads of people helped me out with info but im really struggling finding her and/or her parents on any census. Am I missing something really obvious?? I know where she is in 1901 but other than her birth I cant find another trace of her! If anyone can help me could you please send me a link of some kind to any census she appears on?

Perhaps i need a break?????

Many thanks
Sam

Revised after JaneyCanuck's post:

I was looking for Susannah's marriage to a Crompton without much luck. Now I see you have it on your other thread. So the following census information makes sense.

Ozi.

They're a difficult family to follow up, but I wonder if this is the younger brother. He has daughters Maria Louise & Susannah.

What happened to the thread you say you posted before? A search for Mary Louisa Crompton only finds this one ...


Ah yes. Maria Louisa Crompton.

http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards.asp?wci=thread&tk=1179611

For future ref, one doesn't start a new thread where people look up and post all the info that's already in the old thread ...

Ozibird Report 28 Sep 2009 07:10

Janey, admittedly a little bit of the bdm has been duplicated but most of this stuff is new. In her last post, Samantha does say she hadn't used the boards before.

However, Sam, it's usually better to carry on an old thread than start a new one. That means all the stuff already found is there for everyone to see. It's a good idea to edit the title.'Maria Louisa Crompton - more info needed', or 'Maria Louisa Crompton - where are her parents?'. Something like that.

Ozi.
