Find Ancestors

Great thanks all and again apologies these accursed delays in acknowledgment, hold these infos till I can copy please?
UPDATE:
1. Now in contact with a direct 'Living' and Info/Tree flowing!
2. Regimental-Archives preparing Documentatio/records for me!
3. Delight in coincidence that my own Father was engaged in several Actions as Edwin at same time, possibly no more than mile apart. This giving Self and Wife a common source of pride!
4. This particular 'Brick-Wall' existed for many years and its tumbling has put many a full stop in place......Well done GRs! :-)

Does the name "STEAD" mean anything to you ?


Just wondering about this ----if Edwin died in the war ----did Ada remarry

Thanks for the understanding, getting too old and over excited when I get a snippet or two, either that or should have gone to a well known Spectacles Firm!
Edwin is given as Commercial Traveller here.
your GRO correct as said and ADA confirmed too. I've hunted Ethel too long methinks and fallen into trap of believing all I read as gospel. so, special thanks for the rescue job, appreciated!

Hi Wozcay

No need for regrets----Why do you think you have wasted anyones time ?

You say Edwin married Ethel Watson but all info points to him marrying ADA Watson

As the marriage index on my posting above and

from FreeBMD
Marriages Dec 1913
Steel Edwin Watson Thirsk 9d 941
Watson Ada Steel Thirsk 9d 941
----------------------------------------------------------------

Is this Ethel's birth index ??

Births Sep 1914

Steel Ethel ----mmn Watson --- S.Shields 10a 1749

Did it give Edwin's occupation on his daughters marriage cert ? (it does somtimes even when they are deceased)

On 1911 census there are quite a few "Watson's " in the Pickering,area

As I said these are only " Suggested Records"

You do need his marriage cert to Ada if you know for certain this is the Edwin Steel for your research.

Barbara x

You probably need the info from his 1913 marriage cert to trace him back

So the daughter marries in 1933 and the address then was Railway Lane ??

The property may not have been built till after 1911.

so Edwin was the spouse not the father ?

the address doesnt show on the 1911 census

Oops, sorry Shirley, I only have Edwin as marrying an Ethel Watson GRO Ref: 9d 941 Oct 1913 THIRSK so assume he would be possible 1890's?
Daughter marries @18yrs old in 1933 as that address mentioned, I'm curious to see any other Family there of 1911? Thanks your time and previous helps! M. :-)

not seeing a Railway Lane in Pickering on 1911, there are Railway Cottages, residents are not Steel

born when please? not picking em up as yet on any census

Acquired M/Cert. gives Edwin Steel as Father of Daughter Ethel then residing at 7 Railway Lane Pickering, Yorkshire. Can anyone tell me if Edwin was there also please in 1911? Grateful!
