Hi
I have a problem that I hope someone out there can solve/help.
Yesterday two kind people on GR sent me a copy of the 1911 Liverpool Census for a Hannah Dodd, also living with Hannah and her daughter Violet was a Sarah Jenkins age 19 (c.1892), single, occ ragpicker, born in Liverpool.
I have spent since then my time looking for this Sarah, cannot find her anywhere. What puzzles me is that my grandfather James Jenkins born 1878/1880 in liverpool, according to his marriage cert - cannot find his birth either. But this Hannah Dodd on the 1911 Census was the mother of Charlotte Ellen Dodd - James wife.
Does anyone think Is it a coincidence that suddely I now find a Sarah Jenkins living with Hannah Dodd in 1911, or do you think she could even be James Jenkins sister?????
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Still pondering your Sarah Jenkins question but have you considered that the birth registration below might be that of your grandfather?
Births Sep 1879
Jenkins James W. Derby 8b 254
The West Derby registration district (Abolished in 1934) included all these sub districts at that time:
Bootle, Crosby, Everton, Everton North, Everton North West, Everton, Everton South East, Fazakerley, Kirkdale, Litherland, North Everton, South Everton, Toxteth Park, Walton, Wavertree, West Derby, West Derby Eastern, West Derby Western.
Is this your grandfather in 1881?

Hi
Sorry I am late getting back only it did not show on my threads that there had been any replies it was only when I went back into finding Ancestors that I could see there was actually some
With regards to my grandfather, the birth mentioned above he was the son of James and Sara Ann (nee Messenger) - and I have seen the records of this at Liverpool which say this James married Annie Reynolds in 1910. I have over the last year had numerous people on GR trying to help.
James my grandfather said his father was also called James on his marriage cert - but who knows.
It was only because I got the 1911 Census for my Grt grandmother (Charlotte Ellen's mother and mother in-law to James) that I came accross the lady called Sarah Jenkins born c.1892 in Liverpool - I cant find her.
What I have found is a marriage for a Sarah Jane Jenkins, age 21, makes her birth c.1893 to Henry Donaldson at Christ Church Everton in February 1914 - and guess what her father is also James Jenkins, occ Carter, same as my grandfather's??
So this is what makes me think this is more than a coincidence, but where were they born and who were there parents. The only thing I know for sure is my grandad married in 1902, was on the 1911 Census and I have his death cert.
Apologise again for being late don't know why the thread said no replies

Who were her parents Mike, as you know ages did not seem to matter much in those days.
Just been having a route round and the marriage cert I mentioned for 1914 - the witnesses were Joseph Jenkins and Martha Ashcroft.
I have found a Joseph, but his father is Thomas and a Gardner (a bit posh for my lot - sorry I don't mean to sound awful), but the address for Joseph when he married a Mary Jane Jones in 1903 was 30 ? Burlington Street - again the same street name my grandad gave on his marriage cert. his was 47 - this number according to the electoral voting reg did not exist!!
There must have been hundreds of Jenkins living in the Everton area, and I bet many in the same street, glad I was not the postman.
