Find Ancestors

I need help please! In my tidying up loose ends activities, I have realised that I have mislaid Leonard Myatt & family in 1891.

Below are census returns for them 1881 and 1901. Please note it is NOT the family put at the bottom, just to save you time - they are accounted for 1881

Father Thomas was an engine fitter, and for a time at least worked on the railways which involved some moving around, so this might be a factor.

I have looked for any variants, even no surname, and also included Wyatt as this is a common mistake with this name. Many thanks for any assistance you can give me.

Will delete the one I found in 1891 as it is wrong.


Regards Vera

Jan posted 1901 in her original message

So she did....still never mind.

Regards Vera

Thanks for the responses Reggie and Vera.

Vera, the Leonard Mynett 1891 could be a good call, but I don't think it's him. He was a jeweller's polisher 1901, and similar 1911. I can't see him as a dairyman's assistant, though not impossible obviously.

Thanks for the suggestion though, I will check out that Leonard and see if I can exclude him.

Reggie, I do not know when Mary died for sure, but suspect this might be her:

Deaths Dec 1888 (>99%)
Myatt Mary Ann 54 Birmingham 6d 101

I am starting to think they might just be missing.

Jan

Jan,
Still not having any luck...wonder if they are there ,what name they are under.

Regards Vera

Thanks for looking Vera.
I have checked out Leonard Mynett, and he seems to be John Leonard, according to an Ancestry tree anyway, so not mine it seems.
Never mind. At least it's not just me!
Thanks again.
Jan

The weird thing is on the 1891 census 105 Peel Street is missing the other numbers are there....

so frustrating !!!

Regards Vera

Is it? Now, that is interesting. Thanks for looking Vera, you never know, that might just be the answer.
I wonder if I should splash out and get that death cert!
Incidentally, I have managed to locate son James 1891, so that is something at least!
Jan

FMP has 2 pages of question marks, for a search Warwickshire, place, Birmingham, when clicking on ?, images coming up very faint, (could be in there somewhere, hopefully not for your sake!)

Chris :)

Oh dear! I have a horrible feeling I shall not find them. A pity, but there you go.
Thanks to Chris, Vera & Reggie.

Maybe so. In fact almost certainly as the name seems very rare - hardly surprising! Interesting what you find isn't it?
