Hi Girls, sorry I couldn't get back to computer the grandchildren took over.
Thank you for all the work you have done for me. And yes I did find William Crossfield and his children all in the work house in york on the 1911 census but I never found Martha Emma Simpson/Crossfield. I was looking for a death for her which I haven't found under either the name Simpson or Crossfield. She had another daughter in 1906 so she couldn't have died in 1902. I assume she must be living with someone else under a different name as she isn't on the 1911 census.
Thank you so much Harold

But there is this in 1911:
SIMPSON, Herbert Inmate M 11 1900 School Yorks York RG number: RG14 Piece: 28424 Reference: RG14PN28424 RD517 SD2 ED46 SN9999 Registration District: York Sub District:
York East Enumeration District: 46 Parish: York Address: 75 Huntington Road York County: Yorkshire (East riding)

and a similar one for Ida i.e.
Ida Simpson at school in York.

There is a Herbert Crossfield living in Southport, Lancashire in 1911, son of Arthur and Emily.

Births Sep 1897
Crossfield Herbert John Salford 8d 8
Births Dec 1899
Crossfield Herbert York 9d 9

Is this the death you mean you had found?

Deaths Dec 1902 (>99%)
Simpson Martha Emma 32 W. Derby 8b 237

It's West Derby which is Liverpool area and quite a long way from York, but there's this marriage whicch could be Herbert and it's very close to West Derby if they did in fact move there.

Marriages Mar 1920 (>99%)
Crossfield Herbert Jones Wirral 8a 897

Are you descended from one Martha's children?

Is it too cheeky to ask you to find a death for Martha e Simpson, or crossfield, i couldn't find a marriage for her and William, I know William Crossfield was married before.
I found one Death in Derby, but I don't know how far that is from Yorks?

Harold,
Can I just say, the only way to find out if it is your Elizabeths death is to get the certificate.... looking for marriage.

She appears on the 1871 census with her father John born 1822 Halifax and Her mother Elizabeth born 1845 Halifax, but then the family seem to disappear. Martha Emma Simpson reappears on the 1901 census living with William Henry Crossfield as his wife. Could't find a marriage.
Hoping someone can help find her and her family. Thank you
