Find Ancestors

Hi - I have the following information - Arthur Milner Wharton b.1879. I believe he was a jockey and lived in the West Riding at the time of the 1911 Census. I would very much like to know who he was married to.
Thanks.

Do you know his parents names or where he was born Elizabeth?

I cannot find any Arthur Wharton who is a jockey on the 1911.

Choccy, that one seems to disappear after 1881, or at least not with family in 1891.

This looks as if it's him in 1901, can't decipher birthplace but he is a servant, stables, groom.

Thank you both so very, very much. I'll write more later as I have to go out now.
Elizabeth.

I hope you don't get this twice - I lost my first attempt!
Sorry, I should have thanked three GR members.

This is the information I have about the three brothers, Arthur Milner Wharton b.1879, Frank Wharton b.1883, Frederick Dudley Wharton b1885.
Parents: Milner and Elizabeth Wharton. (Census error - Kharton)

Difficult to find them once they had left home.
I did find Frederick on the 1901 Census in Newmarket, however.

All three brothers became jockeys and went to Belgium. (The wars presented some interesting stories still to be investigated.)
I have found some information from the 1911 Census -
Arthur, 31 Holbeck, Yorks, West Riding.
Frank 29 Kings Norton, Worcs.
Frederick 27 Kings Norton, Worcs.
and would like to know the names of the brothers' wives.
Also, of course, any other information you could help me with.
Many thanks.

On 1911 the Arthur Wharton in Holbeck is Arthur Stables Wharton ... either this is not him, or he has accidentally listed where he spends his working day as part of his own name (actually he's a joiner) but here he is anyway:

WHARTON, Nelly Wife Married
4 years F 29 1882 Weaver Beeston Royds Yorkshire VIEW

The Frank at King's Norton clearly isn't the right one either:

and the Frederick Wharton in King's Norton has taken to riding bikes instead of horses!

Hmm. Will try and find the Whartons you are actually looking for!!

This is all I have managed to come up with - their parents in Finsbury Park:

Aveyronnaise - Goodness! What a lot of work! And - nowhere so far. But I like your sense of humour.

Re your next message. Yes the parents were from Finsbury Park.

I'll keep trying.

Elizabeth - I have pm'd you.

Yes, but on that basis we can probably discount that Arthur anyway, as we know the children were from London boroughs.

Sorry, Aveyronnaise, but I don't understand!

Hi Nicola - curiouser and curiouser. Elizabeth

What, the pm? Just means I have sent you a private message - click on "messages" on the top menu bar and you should have a purple envelope in your inbox. It's from me!!

Aveyronnaise. Great - looking forward to opening the box! But I must have supper now - it's all ready. Back soon.
