Hi all I am trying to trace my friends family for her as she knows very little about them, i have managed to find her mother and grandparents on the 1911 census. Her Gt Grandparents in the 1901 census, but when i go back to the 1891 census things start to get complicated as her Gt,Gt Grandfather's place of birth seems to change, so i am not sure if i have the right people. I have tried making contact through genes with other tree owners where the nam turns up, but am not having much luck with info coming back. I would be grateful for any help from genes members. The info i do have is; Her mother was Evelyn Grace Elizabeth Saul born 23.1.1908 in (Ludham)?. Her parents were Thomas Marshall Saul born 1887 in Hassingham, and her mother was Mildred Alice Bensley 1886 born in Potterheigham. In the 1901 census Thomas Marshall Saul's parents are listed as John Saul 1856, born in Beighton and Sarah E Saul 1857 born in Hassingham. They are listed as living at Priory Farm, Low Road, Thurlton where John is a Farmer. In the 1891 census i can find a John Saul of the right age but it lists him as having been born in Hassingham and not Beighton. Can anyone help, Please! Jan

Don't worry too much about a difference in birthplace............. people often gave as their birthplace the name of the place where they grew up
Buy Thomas's birth cert for facts about his parents

This is Thomas and Mildred's marriage:-
Name: SAUL, Thomas Marshall Registration district: Loddon County: Norfolk Year of registration: 1907 Quarter of registration: Oct-Nov-Dec Spouse's last name: Not available before 1912 Volume no: 4B Page no: 587
Name: BENSLEY, Mildred Alice Registration district: Loddon County: Norfolk Year of registration: 1907 Quarter of registration: Oct-Nov-Dec Spouse's last name: Not available before 1912 Volume no: 4B Page no: 587
This gives Thomas's middle name which shows that the 1891 Thomas you found is the correct one as he has the middle initial "M".
