Hi Lesley,

Yes the census are not too accurate and a 2 year age difference in an adult would not bother me in the slightest but the difference between a 2 year old and a child stated to be 'less than 1 month' is rather too precise for my liking - It really puzzles me !!

I will keep at is and see if I can find anything.

hi,
yes i wondered that but soo many people tell me they are not aways accurate ?
do you have any idea why my grandfather didnt have his fathers name on the marriage cert ....guess i will have to get his birth cert n see if it is on there.
ty for yr help today

Hi,

I'm back and have been working on it.

I feel sure it is the correct family on 1901 and 1911, and I know that census are never very accurate BUT, I can't understand why on 1901 it clearly states that Gladys May is under 1 month old when she is obviously almost 2!!!

I cannot see how this mistake can have come about!

Any thoughts anyone??

Dea x

oh ok great thought i had upset you
that be great ty
speak soon x

and choccy

Sorry Lesley,

My neighbour just called me over to sort something for her and so have to pop out for an hour or so.

I will look again when I get back but it does look as if the 1911 is the correct family.

Speak later.

hi all
well hope i havent upset anyone ??!!!!
Im going off now so ty dea X

These look like the births of the children on the 1911 census -


Births Jun 1899 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Taylor Gladys May Atcham 6a 692


Births Jun 1901 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TAYLOR Lilian Mary Atcham 6a 679


Births Mar 1906 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Taylor Doris Vera Atcham 6a 651



The witness L.M. Taylor on Gladys' marriage certificate is probably her sister Lilian Mary.

nov 30th 1919
wolverhampton
frank bowen 22 married Gladys taylor 20
gladys father walter painter/ no father for frank

O.K. Lesley,

You have something very useful to start with - the marriage cert!

Let's start with that?

Can you give us ALL the info from it please? - when, where?
names, ages, addresses, occupations, fathers' names and occupations, also witness details?

We will work back from there.

frank BOWEN & gladys may TAYLOR

ta lesley

Hang on a minute.................

Have we got the correct family here on 1911 ???

It 'has' to be the right one as she was born in the right place and it IS the only one which fits ????

Lesley,

What other info do you have on these people ?

Can you tell us everything you know please? - How have you got back to them? - I just want to be sure we are sending you off on the right trail !

'Annie' has to be 'Sarah Anne' as the image also states that her parents
(John + Mary) had been married 38 years, had had 2 children, one of whom had died.
.......................

Also - the name appears to be LEWIS (not Lewes) !


LEWIS, John Head Married M 57 1844 Engine Driver Criggion Montgomeryshire
