Can anyone with access to the 1911 census look for household details for Louisa Edge, born 1898 in the Chorlton area of Manchester? Thanking you in anticipation.

Have you found her in 1901 for the names of her parents.

You can search the 1911 for free but you need credits to view household transcriptions or census images

Yes Glitter Baby, I have found her on 1901, parents names Alfred and Elizabeth.....but I believe Alfred may have died before 1911 so his name is unimportant. I believe Elizabeth remarried or was living with someone surnamed Foley - hence why I want the 1911 census.

Chrisa, you are a star....but I didn't expect that?....living with grandparents??....I'm fairly positive Alfred (her dad) died, so where was her mother Elizabeth?.......you couldn't look and see if she's there could you?....in 1911 she's have been about 39 years old, and there does seem to be a connection with the surname Foley.

Do you know the first name of the 'Foley' you suspect she was living with?

Chrisa, I think (but don't know for sure), that Elizabeth married a Michael Foley in 1917 - some years after the census I know, but I believe she had a son (John H) around 1910 who took the surname Foley.

is this the death you thinkis your Alfred?

Deaths Dec 1907 (>99%)

EDGE Alfred John 39 Chorlton 8c 430

do you know if Elizabeth had any middle names?

That is indeed the one Chrisa

I'm not thus far aware of any middle names Chrisa, but according to 1901 census, she was born Northwich, Cheshire - but I know from experience, you cant put too much reliance on that

Here they are

FOLEY JOHN HENRY (RG14PN23760 RG78PN1378B RD464 SD2 ED59 SN253)
Address 5 FLORENCE ST LONGSIGHT County Lancashire
District Chorlton Subdistrict Ardwick
Enumeration District 59 Parish South Manchester


Name: Relationship to head: Marital Status: Years married: Sex: Age in 1911: Occupation: Where born:
FOLEY, MICHAEL JOSEPH HEAD MARRIED M 26 HOUSE PAINTER LABOURER LANCS BRADFORD
FOLEY, ELIZABETH WIFE MARRIED 2 F 36 CHESHIRE NORTHWICH
FOLEY, JOHN HENRY SON M 1 MANCHESTER ARDWICK


according to the census she's claiming to have been married for two years.

I've lloked now Chrisa, there is a birth in Northwich in 1872, and no middle name shown/indicated

HOUSEHOLD FOLEY JOHN HENRY M 1910 1 Chorlton Lancashire


HOUSEHOLD FOLEY ELIZABETH F 1875 36 Chorlton Lancashire
HOUSEHOLD FOLEY MICHAEL JOSEPH M 1885 26 Chorlton Lancashire


Cassy

Chrisa, I really owe you, thank you very much indeed......so she claimed she was married to him a full six years before she actually was!.....and to think they say things like this didn't happen in 'the good old days'

Thanks too Liverbird

I've just noticed Michael Foley was 10 years younger!....toy boys in the early 1900's huh?....who'd have thought?

You're welcome Paul.

My great grandparents did exactly the same thing, claimed to have married the year before my grandmother was born but they didn't actually marry until she was two years old.

a little bit more for you incase you don't have it
