Find Ancestors

Thanks for your help anyway I will just keep looking :)

I have just double checked and I remembered he would have been13 or 14 in 1900. The 2 Arthurs there are 17 and 8 :(

What year did you find that in??

I have his birth cert here, I ordered it to check the spelling of his name as 2 of my cousin have his name as a middle name in his memory but they spell it ELLIS. I did a search as I didn't know what else I could do.

Great!!! Now they make it even harder for me to find them!! (HAHAHA) Do you have any ideas on how to find them?? I'm not sure what to do now! :)

Thats a good point, but that means Ellis came back to fight in the war ,would that be possible? Arthur would have only been 14 in 1901 so I don't think he would have gone anywhere without his parents? Ellis would have been 17 so it's possible he went some where. :)

No I haven't found Ellis in the 1901 census but I know he died in the 1st world war, but before that i'm not sure where he went to either!

yes Ozibird thats him.........I have just searched for his death but came up with nothing?

Hi Lesley thank you for searching for me but that would have made arthur about 13 or 14 when he got married?!

Here is his Birth Name: Arthur James Boulton Year of Registration: 1887 Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar District: Farnham County: Hampshire, Surrey Volume: 2a Page: 125 ******************************************************** I think this is his Marriage? >>>Name: James Arthur Boulton Name: Florence Mary Moss OR Name: Hannah Maria Wright Year of Registration: 1900 Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec District: Farnham County: Hampshire, Surrey Volume: 2a Page: 262 So we should be able to find him in 1901... Lesley :~)

Thank you all for your help I will give anything a try :) Fingers crossed I find him :) I didn't give it a thought that his name could have been mis spelt!!

Julie Didnt notice the difference in birth year. Sue

Julie Soundex is Surnames that sound similar to that you typed in..... Or if you have an unusual first name then leave the surname blank and put it approx birth yr. place....You may find them that way..... You will be surprised at the way some transcribers wrote names out......you have to be very open minded with birth yrs etc...they can change from census to census Lesley :~)

Unless you have found him in the death indexes, I think it more likely he has been mistranscribed. I have probably about 60-70% of my relatives mistranscribed on 1901 - not including the ones I haven't managed to find yet! Examples: Charity Purvey is down as Chanty Purvey Fanny Louisa Purvey is down as Louisa Curvey Thomas Matthews is Thomas Maththews My Smoothy family are Lenorthy Mealing family recorded as Melins You can try looking for your chap using his first name, year and birthplace. nell

Hi Sue thanks for that but the birth is 10 years to early??

1901 possible Arthur Boulton abt 1872 Surrey, England Boarder Alfreton Derbyshire Occ Groom Domestic Sue

Hi lesley what is Soundex??

Hi have you tried finding him on Soundex with Surname.....The transcriber might have spelt it wrong.. Lesley :~)

I'm trying to find my G/G uncle, his name is Arthur James Boulton he was born in 1887 Farnham, Surrey, England I have found him on the 1891 census aged 4 but on the 1901 census he has gone! Does this mean he died? Can anyone answer this for me please?
