Frances Report 8 Jul 2010 18:57

The birth for Mary Davison is :-
Births Sep 1900
Davison Mary Wakefield
9c 60

Her parents marriage is :-

Marriages Mar 1885
DAVISON John William Wakefield
9c 80

BENTLEY Eliza Ann Wakefield
9c 80

I reckon there are probably several more children. Does the 1901 census agree with me please?

Many thanks,
Frances

Thank you for all those PollyPoppet, they certainly add a fair bit of colour to this family.
I struck unlucky with the 1881 for both

Births Mar 1855
Davison John William Wakefield
9c 24

and

Births Mar 1865
Bentley Eliza Ann Huddersfield
9a 364

as both had left home, leaving me without knowing who their parents were.
If they show up in the 1871 census I would be most grateful for the detail.

Hi PollyPoppet, thank you for you latest finds on Sarah White nee Davison. I am expecting the owner of this family to call round in the next day or two and she should be well impressed by your efforts. Sorry for the delay but I have had to control my Family History sleuthing addiction to give time to my garden and allotment!
The one person I am still hoping to find in the 1871 census is

Births Mar 1865
Bentley Eliza Ann Huddersfield

as she is Emily's mother. Are you able to see her please?
