Find Ancestors

I have a sub at last - thank goodness for birthdays!
I know it's a bit borderline re. the rules, so if not possible, I understand.
Just asking for a check please. This is definitely our relative - the unusual occupation gives it away! - but might someone check the middle initial for me please? I need it to be F not T!!

Vera, thank you, that is the family - was just moving them forward.
Interestingly, 1911 has confirmed my suspicion - that he had a previous marriage to a Harriet Showell - and there she is living in the same household!
Do you happen to know in what month the census took place please? Can't quite spot a date. Thanks!
Jan

Jan,
Thats great. belated birthday wishes....what a great present.

Regards Vera

Thank you!
Have done the unforgiveable and edited my last post with a query, namely when the census took place? I suspect this was a shotgun wedding!!
Jan

Hi Jan

No problem,

Census taken 2nd April 1911

Regards Vera

Thank you! That makes perfect sense - they married Sept and the baby was born Dec!
Will not pester you any more (well, for now at least!).
Regards
Jan

Jan,
Thats what is so exciting about looking at census'...other questions can be answered. I was so looking forward to the 1911...thinking I was going to find my grandparents....so far no luck.......

Regards Vera

Jan,
I never think it is a pester.... love all the detective work !!!!

Regards Vera

Well, if you want to PM me your grandparents' details happy to have a go! To return the favour as it were.
Jan

Jan, Trying to pm you......having a problem will try again...

Regards Vera
