Find Ancestors

No problem!


If a marriage comes up as the one for Clara and you cant view the spouse, you can search on freebmd by the quarter/registartion district and the vol/page number or a combination of all three

Also, if you cant find a woman on a census and you think they married, try entering all the details, without the surname and then you can cross ref on freebmd

Thank you Gins,

you are far too on the ball for me!!

Takes a little while and several times of reading to take anything in!!

I posted the 1891 census which confirms they are her siblings

And here is Walter James

ahh Gins you are right ,

its Walter James Atkins .

And yes the Johnson's are living with her.

She wasnt married before but she has a brother and sister called Agnes & William!

Unless they are her children and she had them before she was married!

Edit

Judging by the gaps in ages of her brothers and sisters - I think they are more likely to be her siblings.

His name may have changed about. I has to be her with the 'Johnson' family living with her
