I am trying to trace a Ruth Whalley in Staffordshire. I have her marriage to George Colclough in 1902 Newcastle under Lyme but she is not on the 1901 census. I realise that it may have been incorrectly transcribed - has any one any ideas how it may have been transcribed ??? |

Try Just Rut* Wha* or Rut Wal* if you are using ancestry Often the W's or M's looked like each other |

Hi Ginny, Have you tried just searching under Ruth, DOB and place of birth? ie.. leaving out her surname? That'll give you all the probable Ruth's.. Sue |
