Find Ancestors

PM received...........although not indicating that he is convinced, merely acknowledging the effort put in

As Janey says, a note on here would be more beneficial.

I got a PM from Simon and I guess Flick did too -- thank you, hope you're convinced now! -- always best to add a post to the thread rather than sending private messages, as that way we don't have to go hunting for the thread, and everybody else can see it too!

nnnnnn

What a waste of time this bloke is.......................

Oh dear, and there was me, all excited ... ;)

NNNNNNNNNNN

And I believe I saw him on another thread of his today.

Such a gracious soul!

I sent a PM advising Simon to check his thread (which he has opened)........

Perhaps THIS will persuade you, Simon, if you ever come back to this thread

They clearly state on the census that they have had NO children during their 26 year marriage...................

Thanks Janey...especially for alerting me to the existing thread.........another time-waster!

The censuses were all there already, so it certainly makes little sense to start a new thread ... and not even offer the 1901 census info ... or even the names of the parents she's with ... !! Searching for unknowns is one thing; searching for knowns is really pretty pointless for the helpers.

Heya, Flick, dropping in as requested. ;) I have to spend most of the day working, but took a quick look -- looks reasonable to me!

Relationships were often fudged or assumed in censuses. I spent forever looking for someone recorded as Alice Coke, niece (and worse, born Spotland, per Ancestry, until I consulted the image and found it was Scotland). The only way she could have been the person's niece, with that surname, was if she was the daughter of my gr-grf's sister and her husband, and she just wasn't. After a lot more work, I figured out she was Alice Orr, probably the daughter of the brother of the husband of the person's sister. "Niece" was a lot easier to say than "sister's brother-in-law's niece".

The main question would be: were there actually two Ethel Preece-s born around that time and place?

Only one registered in Rochdale reg dist, where Castleton is:

Births Sep 1885
Preece Ethel Rochdale 8e 18

One in Blackburn Q1 1884 (2 yrs too old), one in Ulverston 1889 (much too young).

Brothers, it does seem.


Btw, what's this about a lookup earlier today? Not a duplicate thread, shurely?

???????/

So............you're disregarding the 1891 and 1901......even though there is a distinctly plausible reasoning behind my posting of it?

Obviously, I'm not saying I'm right, but I do think you could show me the courtesy of at least considering the info, and commenting on it.

Hi Simon,
Still can't find Ethel in 1891 census, so thought I'd go forwards and have found her marriage and where she is in 1911 census.

Hi,

Thanks for doing all that searching. Sorry I didn't get back earlier. Jan is right. Ethel was in 1901 as she has listed above but not in 1891.

Thanks again,

Simon.

Edward and Henry were almost certainly brothers......the notation of Ethel as Daughter in 1891 was probably nothing more than a simple error

Flick
I did a look up for him earlier on today, and this is the 1891 census I found with Ethel's family on. Minus Ethel - which is who Simon is looking for in 1891. I can't find her as yet.
