Marie,

39 is extremely old to be marrying back then, does the cert state whether he is a widower or not?

Marie,

This is your John Nield....Looks like he was indeed married before....

1901 England Census
Name: John Neild
Age: 46
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1855
Relation: Head
Spouse's Name: Alice
Gender: Male
Where born: Bardsley, Yorkshire, England

Civil Parish: Pendleton
Ecclesiastical parish: St Luke
County/Island: Lancashire
Country: England

Registration district: Salford
Sub registration district: Pendleton

Albert Neild 18
Alice Neild 32
Arthur Neild 12
Clara Neild 22
Edith Neild 15
Ethel Neild 2 << J & A
John Neild 46 << Bardsley, Yorkshire, England, General Labourer
Sarah Neild 5 << J & A
William Neild 3 << J & A


The children are all listed with Alice as their mother, but clearly this isn't the case, for example Clara is born in 1879... but Alice's own birth was 1869!!

I have marked who i think are indeed John & Alice's children...All of John's children of his previous wife were born the same place as John, all the children with Alice are born Pendleton.

Alice's birth location is listed as not known..... that doesn't help!

I'll try and find her after i have unravelled John....

Wow Tracey,
where do you get all this , you have really confirmed a few things for me and i am eternally gratefull to you,
I'm a bit confused abt the 1871, census is this Judith age 70 yrs a bit old to be john and Thomas's mother or is she there stepmother.

I did get a birth cert for Alice dated 1870 ,Whitchchurch, but it had the right father John Dodd
but her mothers name was unreadable so i'm not sure if i got the right one, thanks for all ur help regards Marie.

Sarah Pickles
Looking for parents of Sarah Pickles born 1799 Bingley, West Yorkshire do believe her mother may have been called Sarah as well

Judith is either James's Mother or James Mother in Law....

The census states mother of the head, the head is James.... this makes me think she has married after James father died and she has also lost this husband....

She is NOT the mother of John !!!

Tracey,

Thank you for clearing this up for me. I've been in contact with a distant cousin and she has the birth cert for john born 1855, and it states that john's Mother was a Mary Crowther, so Judith must be James's mother in law. you are a gem, i will see if i can find them on any earlier censuses, thank you so much , marie x

Hello Tracey, I have a weird family mystery I am longing to sort out for my mum. I am trying to find whether Walter and Clarice West had any surviving children. They married in South Normanton in April 1927 and lived at 36 South Street. Clarice died after childbirth on November 24 1927, aged 20. I would love to know if their child survived. The child may of course have been stillborn but apparently would still have been registered. Any clues? Thank you. Daryl
