I can't find him either....I wonder if he has been mistranscribed.

Do you have his marriage certificate please?
Regards Vera

Julie

Julie Report 19 Feb 2011 15:59

Yes I do have the marriage online, but not the cert. Which is why I was hoping to find him on census to get names of parents etc
Julie

Flick

Flick Report 19 Feb 2011 16:00

His father will be named on the marriage cert.....both parents on his birth cert......unless he was illegitimate

Where did you get the info that he was born in Guisborough?

Julie

Julie Report 19 Feb 2011 16:00

Sorry Vera, I dont have cert, looks like that will be my next step though, if I want to find out his parents names

Hi Mel, my great grandfather was Robert Skaife, who had a bother called Benson. It was Bensons daughter Winifred who married Robert C Morrish

1911 is playing silly b's.....tried to search for a Robert born c1885 living in Middlesbrough..........the results were for Market Harborough!

ALSO................Guisborough was a separate registration district

Morrish doesn't seem to be a North Yorkshire name................more a South West England name
