Nichola

I suggest your only option is to use the 1911 census. There is a child born 1910 in bermondsey and also a boy aged 7 in Lewisham. i would check whether any of these two had a father named Henry who was a labourer.

This is really your only option.

Hi Lesley
I wonder if you might try to find a record for me? I have tried everthing I can think of but no success.

my grt uncle Frances Patrick Keegan b.1907 Houghton le Spring,Co.Durham. apart from his birth record/cert there is no trace of him anywhere marriage or death !!

I have been told by an elderly relative that he went in the army and was posted to India with his brothers Joseph b.1901 and Michael b. 1904. between wars.

I know it`s very little to go on,but I am hoping you may be ble to pull something out of the bag !!
thankyou,cathy

Have you seen the I.Wight marriage -

Marriages Dec 1924 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Keegan Francis P Redstone I.Wight 2b 1584

Redstone Gabriales A R Keegan I.Wight 2b 1584

Think he was born too late for the WW1 - and I have searched for the brothers before in the WW1 Records.

Other than this you have a tall order on your hands. Its not possible to search every year and Keegan is a fairly common name.

Hi Lesley
thankyou
I had not seen the one you have found,and in fact it is the only one there seems to be!!

Had I asked you before to look for the 3 brothers in the army? if so I am sorry I had not remembered.

The info I was given today is very patchy but it stirred me to try to get help again to find frances.

thanks again

Here's the 1891 census (better chance fo her being with her parents at that time)

Father Robert was a White Liner
Mary Ellen was a Woollen Operative
Elizabeth the Younger was a Cotton Operative
Mary Ann was a Cotton Operative
Robert (Younger) was a Rag Sorter
Emma was a Rag Sorter.

The parents marriage could be one of two (you would need to buy one of the childrens birth certs to know 100%)

Marriages Jun 1866

Crabtree Elizabeth Rochdale 8e 93

Kershaw Robert Rochdale 8e 93

Marriages Sep 1870
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Kershaw Robert Rochdale 8e 143
LORD Elizabeth Rochdale 8e 143

I Personally think its the Crabtree one due to Mary Ellen being born 1869 and her birth looks like 1868.

Hi Lesley,

Thanks very much for your lookup. I think maybe the name Doris morphed into Dorothy over time in our side of the family - it looks very much like the right family! I will follow up from there and see how much further we can get.
Thanks again!

Hi Lesley,

Re Hensbys - We have managed to get back further due to a chance stumble upon another Hensby name tree, but we are stuck again. Can you help at all with these?

Edward Arthur had 2 sisters and a brother:

William born c1861 m Mary Moore born c1879
Harriett born c1863
Ruth born c1868

Can you find anything for them at all? I believe they were all in the Thetford/Bury St Edmonds areas. Their father was also William, with another 2 generations of William above that, but I am trying to find some living relatives and want to go forward now!

Many Thanks
Louisa
