Thank you to all who have given information.

Ozibird I have found all the information you have given. It doesn't seem to fit with some of the family names but I have not disregarded it altogether.

Ignore the 's' on the end of the names. It is an ornate squiggle of the enumerator. Everybody is born England. The enumerator has written Co [county] not stated.

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

Netty Report 4 Nov 2009 02:50

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 Sue

You cannot completely rely on census information.

Having Parnell as a middle name is somewhat of a coincidence

Ok You say you have the marriage certificate...........so what on it!!!!

Netty

Netty Report 4 Nov 2009 02:32

Hi Sister Sue

you need to order the marriage certificat to giv you more clues!!!

Sister Sue

Sister Sue Report 4 Nov 2009 02:31

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.
