Member Since: March 2003 Posts: 2 377 Send Message	With the help of kind people on this site I have tracked the large Wharam family in Leeds back to :- Marriages Mar 1882 Wharam Joseph Hull 9d 331 WAUD Amelia Hull 9d 331 Amelia Waud is nowhere to be seen in FreeBMD but Joseph looks more promising - matching age in 1901 census Births Mar 1858 Wharam Joseph Hull 9d 197 I am now hoping to find him with his family in Hull in either the 1861 or 1871 census please. In the single line G.R. census he is shown in Myton, Hull. Many thanks, Frances

If all goes well I may be able to persuade the person for whom I am doing this research to get the marriage certificate.
