I have just done a free search on 1911 and this could be the family, but William was born 1858.


HOUSEHOLD SAVILLE EARNEST M 1894 17 North Bierley Yorkshire West Riding
HOUSEHOLD SAVILLE ELIZABETH F 1869 42 North Bierley Yorkshire West Riding
HOUSEHOLD SAVILLE ELSIE F 1902 9 North Bierley Yorkshire West Riding
HOUSEHOLD SAVILLE MARK M 1869 42 North Bierley Yorkshire West Riding
HOUSEHOLD SAVILLE NANCY F 1858 53 North Bierley Yorkshire West Riding
HOUSEHOLD SAVILLE WILLIAM M 1858 53 North Bierley Yorkshire West Riding
HOUSEHOLD SAVILLE WILLIAM HENRY 1894 17 North Bierley Yorkshire West Riding

They are not all certain to be in the same household.

This looks like Ernest's birth registration.

Births Sep 1893 (>99%)

Saville Ernest N. Bierley 9b 228

Hi Stacey,

You haven't hit a brick wall, getting some certs will sort this out.

How do you know Ernest was Harry's father and the year he was born, is it from family?

I don't see a marriage for Ernest to a Walsh which is the mmn for Harry, only this marriage in the area, unless Elsie Hill had been married before.

Marriages Sep 1922 (>99%
HILL Elsie Saville
SAVILLE Ernest Hill N. Bierley 9b 94

i recieved the info about my grandad from a family member who gave me a picture of his father ernest and elizabeth walsh, think they married around 1920, she died in 1930 then ernest married again, think to a mrs woods. then ive gone from there to find ernest father to be william, but there were too many williams born in bradford at that time. need to find the william who married a nancy, dont know what year, probly around 1910. thanks for your help x

I still can't find a marriage for Ernest to Elizabeth Walsh.

You need some certificates to make sure you are tracing the correct family.

How have you found Ernest's birth year?

What do you mean by this?
need to find the william who married a nancy, dont know what year, probly around 1910.

well iknow i have the correct grandad harry, and his father ernest, probably got his birth date somewhere on here. being doing this for about a year, so think that info is correct, i have got elizabeth walsh, born in 1898, they had their children from1925, i heard they married around 1920. now carrying on i got william saville, i have paper cencus, which shows the address and who lived in the house hold. it says william saville head, nancy wife, then children albert,harry,ernest. so i pressume this is the correct william. only nobody can find this will married to a nancy. this is so hard. x

Do you have access to the 1911 census because the family I found on the free search William and Nancy were born 1858.

I only have access to 1881 at the moment so can't look for Ernest in 1901.
