James Chaddock born in Congleton Cheshire in c 1861 married my relative Elizabeth Conway at Congleton in 1902.Elizabeth Conway was born in Mow Cop Staffordshire in c 1865.

Can anyone find the couple in 1911 please.

Hi William,

I think the name is Sarah Ann and there are 3 children still living and 3 who have died but why are the 2 girls Conway in 1911 and Chaddock in 1901?

Thanks Cathy,yes it is all a bit strange.The Mary Ellen born in 1891 married under the name Conway.John Conway Chaddock(1894) married as such.I can find nothing certain for Jane.What is in no doubt is that James and Elizabeth did not marry until 1902 in Congleton.

Regards
William Russell Jones.

Thanks Annyes Cathy the Ephraim Conway is also Elizabeth's son.He is proving a nightmare to find info about,apparently he also used the Surname Wass!

Hi William,

But if the 3 children in the 1911 Census ie Mary Ellen, Mary Ann and John are Elizabeths then her other children have surely died or am getting confused in my old age :-((
It states clearly that there are 6 children born alive - 3 still living and 3 who have died?

Age at enlistment: 33
Birth County: Chester

Thanks Cathy,although they don't marry Ephraim and Ada have about eight children together.The trouble is its confusing as all later records give them as Wass or Conway!
