Are you looking for marriage, death, emigration - do you have any knowledge of his future?

maybe he joined the Army and was in the Boar Wars my grandfather did and doesn't show on the 1901 census

Dont forget there were 2 Boar wars one in the early 1890.s and one around 1900

I have found Edward and Harriet on the 1901 & 1911 census but no sign of William under the name of Booth or Teft.
Shirley are their any sites that would show boar war soldiers?

Can you post the 1901 census please

Was William illegitimate or was Harriett widowed when she married Edward Teft?

Donnie

Donnie Report 20 Nov 2011 14:49

Neither Harriet had William outside of marriage

Could you post the 1901 that you found?

I am assuming that Ginny cannot find it, and when I was looking I found this possible Teft, but not the family together

No my mistake that should have read 1891 & 1911 census Edward and his family are not on 1901.

patchem Report 22 Nov 2011 18:11

Do you think I have found the correct death?
As you cannot find any of the family in 1901 then not being able to find William in 1901 is a minor part of the problem.
Do you think I could have found Edward Teft in 1901 or is it just coincidence?

Hi Patchem

The Edward you found was born in Morton near Gainsborough he isn't the same person.
Ginny , William was illegitimate born 2 years before Harriet married Edward

There is only one Edward Teft born in the whole of Lincolnshire from 1861 to 1869
Births Dec 1864
TEFT Edward Boston 7a 365

However, I agree that he appears from Morton in other censuses, so probably different.
