I am trying to find my grandfather's birth. I found him in 1911 census, aged 31 with my grandmother Annie age 27 (nee Jasper) and 5 children, Florence May birth 9/3/1905 died 11/1/1915, Gwendoline Annie birth 9/2/1906 died Dec 1996, Charles Reeford birth Sept Qtr 1907 died In Aust. late 1990's, William John Parnell birth 21/7/1908 died Apr 1998 and Francis L H birth June Qtr 1910 died ?. There are more children. I have looked in FreeBMD, & Ancestry with no luck. I orginial thought he was born 1876.

Thank you all. The marriage cert. I have doesn't relate to the information I have. As I have stated the 1876 date doesn't relate to the 1911 census information, which is the information from Netty.

Netty

Hi Sue

You cannot completely rely on census information.

Having Parnell as a middle name is somewhat of a coincidence

Hi Sister sue

In those days people were iliterate and reading & writing was not their strong point..

In the 1911 census the numerator at the time could had put his birth reg down wrong. You can ask anyone on this site that come to time when you are trying to find family members on census and BDM there names are spelt wrong plus ages are put down wrong.

hope this helps.

Hi Sister sue

Whats the occupation of his father!!

Sister Sue

Sister Sue Report 4 Nov 2009 03:20

Both father's are farmers

Ozibird Report 4 Nov 2009 04:05

I would've thought someone born in the 1870s would be literate, even farm labourers. Education was compulsory after the Education Act of 1870.
