Find Ancestors

Hi All, I have been trying to sort this out for a couple of years but going through my notes and information thought I would give it another go!

The information I have is
Henry Middleton b 9Oct 1842 Abberley Worcestershire
Married 1 Dec 1864 Cliffton Gloucestershire
Eliza Rosser b1843 Gloucestershire

they had 5 children
Frederick William 1868 ~ 1946
Arthur Ernest 1870
Ida 1871
Edward John 1873
Francis Oswald 1874 ~ 1891

In the 1871 Census they are living in Claines Worcestershire
in the 1881 Census they are living in Scarborough Yorkshire
In the 1891 Census they are still in Scarborough but Henry is missing, Eliza is the head but is still married. All the children are there apart from Arthur (who also goes missing until 1896 when he marries Margaret Flinton in Scarborough and Henry id deceased on the marriage cert!!)

I would like to find the death of Henry Middleton and also I can't find Eliza's death either.

Another thing although i know I am asking alot all in one go!
I am unable to locate Arthur Ernest after the 1881 census apart from his marriage in 1896.
i also know by the 1901 census Margaret Middleton (nee Flinton) is listed as the head of the household with two daughters
Grace J Middleton b 1898 South Africa &
Ida M Middleton 1899 South Africa. I am unable to see the original and again would like to know what happened to Arthur.

Any help or advice would be very much appreciated
Thankyou
Kirsty

Perhaps Arthur Ernest and family are back in South Africa.
What is his occupation on the marriage certificate?
Ancestry will not let me see the census image, either.

WOW YES that is him is there a way I can view the original document
OMG I am sooooooooo happy
THANKYOU

The image for the National Probate record will not show anymore than Choccy has already typed out

So if he died in 1895 how did he father Grace & Ida?

No that is Grace and Ida's grandfather Henry, Arthur is their father.

Glitterbaby could I order a copy of it do you think?

Oops

Arthur fathered Ida and Grace ;-)

Find a thread about wills that Jonesey has - I think on Genealogy Chat Board - that explains how to order wills etc

Just nudged this one up on Genealogy Chat

http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/genealogy_chat/thread/1235425

I am now going to be like a kid in a sweet shop thankyou so much. Henry has been driving me mad for ages now I will see if i can find Eliza and Arthur on there and then at least i can tie those loose ends up and hunt through some others :-)

ohh gutted need to be a worldwide member :-|

Sorry to say there wouldn't be a Will as Letters of Administration granted to his son.

If there was a Will, it would say Probate granted to his son.

So if I sent off for a copy i wouldn't get anymore information?

Well if not at least i know what happened to him

Now to search for the others

Thankyou so very much for the information you have found

could this be Eliza and daughter going out to South Africa -
