William Henry Riseborough

Hi, I am trying to find any record of William Henry Riseborough born in Oct/Nov/Dec 1907 in Norwich, who married Emmeline Gooch in 1928 in Norwich. I have found his birth and their marriage, but I can find no record of him in the 1911 census. Any information would be very helpful!
Many thanks
Jo

have you tried looking for variants of the surname?

I presume then that you do not have the birth or marriage cert to know the name of his parents which would help with the search in 1911

Hi, I am waiting on the birth certificate, just wondered if anyone might have an idea as to why he might not be on the census? What possible reasons could there be?

Thanks so much, i checked the original image and whoever transcribed the document has spelt it wrong, so it looks like the 1908 one is him! But I now have the problem of why is he living with his uncle?? I'm guessing his mum is Beatrice, but it states she is single and not a widow? Oh well, birth certificate will probably tell me a bit more! I will remember to try variants in the future!!
Thanks again for your help!

Does 1911 say where each of them was born?

Also Beatrice's relationship to Frederick?

I've been trying to pin them down in 1901 - with no success whatsoever.

Joanne Report 11 Nov 2009 14:09

hi, it says Frederick was born in 1865 in Norfolk E Reestone. Been looking in 1901 too and have hit another brick wall! Can't find other members of household either!

I have found Frederick as Fred Riseborough in 1891 I think! Born East Ruston, Norfolk.

Yes-it's the RISELOROUGH fellow.
The 1911 image says he's single and a Turnshoe maker.

Beatrice is married-has been for 17? years and has had 6 children-all living.She was born in Norwich.

So where on the 1901 are they??

Thanks Maureen, that's great, I thought Lewell had to be William's dad! Beatrice seems to change her name around from Beatrice Jane to Jane Beatrice I think! I never thought a surname could be spelt so many different ways!

Sorry, just realised she was using different names myself. Only had her as Beatrice J! Have now found Lewell in 1911, but misspelt as Gewell, living with one of the daughters and another son, while another daughter is living with her Gran and the we have Beatrice/Jane living with her brother in law and her and Lewells son!
