Frances Report 16 Sep 2008 14:05

In the single line I have found :-

GERTRUDE HERBERT
19 Bradfield, Wortley
ALICE HERBERT
17 Bradfield, Wortley

I believe their parents are :-

JOHN HERBERT
48 Middlesborough, Middlesborough
MARGARET HERBERT
47 Middlesborough, Middlesborough

They all seem to be together in Shipley in 1881 so does the 1891 support my hypothesis that they are split in 1891 please?

Many thanks,
Frances

Hi Jeanette,
Yes that is the family. I would really like Alice to be Ulric Herbert as he gets born in Leeds in 1874 and I have been told that John Noble is his father and that he (Ulric) turns up in Bradley, whereas there is no GRO for Alice around then in Leeds!!

Just wondering, did John and Margaret split up...perhaps over Ulrich's parentage???....because there's this character below and he's also in the same place in 1901 and Margaret is back in Yorkshire. Margaret has herslef as being married on both censuses but this John always says he's single

Thank you Gladys and Jeanette, I have finished peeling two pan loads of dodgy potatoes and can now concentrate on more important matters!
Last point first, John the lodger is not John Noble, who I am told went off to America but I understood that was later. However much of the info I have been given by the descendant of this family has proved to be innacurate so perhaps Margaret being husbandless with the children in Bradfield in 1891 is because John Noble has already gone?
I am so pleased you have found Ulric and in laws to investigate - that should provide tomorrow's 'fix'

Thank you both for your help,
Frances

Hi Jeanette,
I trust you did the hoovering and bathroom, not just left it until tomorrow.........
Thank you for your latest offerings. Whilst you have been chasing down the Herberts I have been trying to get a fix on Margaret Ann Barton. I have had no siting, on my 1:25,000 map of Darwen/Blackburn, of Aiyburth or any name that could conceivably be what has been mis-transcribed. However there is a possibility that Over Darwen could be Lower Darwen, even closer to Blackburn than the main town of Darwen.
I believe that the GRO is :-
Births Jun 1842
BARTON Margaret Blackburn
21 72

I have looked for siblings but there is more than one active Barton family in the Blackburn district.

Now I have to enter all the new ancestors in the tree........
