	Ideally you will need a copy of their marriage certificate to see what is shown as their fathers details, Just a possibility as Arthur would have still have been 7 years old when the 1911 census was taken: 1911: Name: Arthur Palmer Age in 1911: 7 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1904 Relation to Head: Son Gender: Male Birth Place: Darnall, Yorkshire, England Civil parish: Sheffield County/Island: Yorkshire-West Riding Country: England Street Address: 27 James St Darnall Sheffield Marital Status: Single Occupation: School Registration district: Sheffield Registration District Number: 510 Sub-registration district: Attercliffe ED, institution, or vessel: 26 Piece: 28014 Household Members: Name Age William Palmer 45 Forence Palmer 42 William Thomas Palmer 23 George Palmer 19 Bower Palmer 15 Walter Palmer 14 Lillian Palmer 11 Arthur Palmer 7 Florence Palmer 3 1911: Name: Florence Mary Johnson Age in 1911: 9 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1902 Relation to Head: Sister-in-law Gender: Female Birth Place: Sheffield, Yorkshire, England Civil parish: Sheffield County/Island: Yorkshire-West Riding Country: England Street Address: 71 Uttley St Attercliffe Sheffield Registration district: Sheffield Registration District Number: 510 Sub-registration district: Attercliffe ED, institution, or vessel: 22 Piece: 28010 Household Members: Name Age Joseph Henry Shipley 24 Ann Elizabeth Shipley 24 Joseph William Shipley 3 Clara Henretta Shipley 1 Ethel May Shipley Under 1/12 Florence Mary Johnson 9 Here is Ann Elizabeth Johnson prior to her marriage to Joseph Henry Shipley. It is a reasonable assumption that her parents were Florence Mary's parents also. 1901: Name: Ann E Johnson Age: 14 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1887 Relation: Daughter Father's Name: William H Johnson Mother's Name: Clara Johnson Gender: Female Where born: Sheffield, Yorkshire, England Civil parish: Brightside Bierlow Ecclesiastical parish: Attercliffe Emmanuel County/Island: Yorkshire Country: England Street Address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Education: Employment status: View image Registration district: Sheffield Sub-registration district: East Brightside ED, institution, or vessel: 16 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 14 Piece: 4379 Folio: 159 Page Number: 3 Household Members: Name Age William H Johnson 39 born Sheffield Clara Johnson 32 born Sheffield Ann E Johnson 14 Daord Johnson 12 Charles E Johnson 7 Joseph Johnson 5 Helenor Johnson 3 Harry Johnson 1 Henry Cliffe 26 Elizabeth A Brooms 29 Arthur Brooms 5 Herbert Brooms 8 Months Here are the parents in 1911: Name: William Henry Johnson Age in 1911: 49 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1862 Relation to Head: Head Gender: Male Birth Place: Sheffield, Yorkshire, England Civil parish: Sheffield County/Island: Yorkshire-West Riding Country: England Street Address: 107 Coleford Road Darnall Sheffield Marital Status: Married Occupation: General Labourer Registration district: Sheffield Registration District Number: 510 Sub-registration district: Attercliffe ED, institution, or vessel: 21 Piece: 28009 Household Members: Name Age William Henry Johnson 49 Clara Johnson 43 David Johnson 22 Charles Edmund Johnson 17 Joseph Johnson 15 Eleanor Johnson 13 Harry Johnson 11 George Johnson 6 Henry Cliff 36 As always a copy of a child's birth certificate is the most sure way of discovering who the child's parents were.
	Researching: Don't put off until tomorrow doing what you can do today. If you like doing it today you can do it again tomorrow. Be kind to your children for it is they who will decide which care home you end up in.

Member Since: July 2008 Posts: 18,042 Send Message	There is an unsourced and undocumented tree on Ancestry that has her parents as: William Henry Johnson 1862 - 1947 Clara Firth 1868 - 1933 plus 9 siblings. Need certificate to verify.

Member Since: July 2008 Posts: 18,042 Send Message	So if you haven't already ordered that marriage cert, you'll need it to move back.
