Find Ancestors

Hi everyone who has given me information re Albert and his family.

I apologise for not answering earlier but my 91 year old father-in-law was rushed into hospital yesterday morning so had to look after the living and abandon the dead for a while.

Thank you all very much for your information which is fantastic, I had a sneaking feeling he must have married in America as I couldn't find anything in the UK.

The additional information and the passenger records is also very much appreciated.

Looks like father-in-law is going to be OK once the hospital have got his Warfarin levels sorted out and he should be allowed home soon.

Thanks again everyone,

Ian

Re - death of Florence in 1975
As you know, divorce was rare in those days so perhaps Albert left Florence and set up home with Eva,which is why no marriage can be found for them and why unusually' Eva's birth surname is on the headstone
Just a thought !

Florence heap arrived 11/11/1909 on the Ivernia friends name Albert Yates.

1910 Albert yates on census with parents in waltham he is now married.

There is ref to a 1940 US census and a WW1 1917/18 US Draft Registration Card, but my subscription does not cover access to them

Perhaps Florence died and Eva is his second wife ??

Totally unrelated Florence, as lack of information about her, and claims all on the list are foreign, but unlikely?

I agree K but the baptism record seems to confirm it was Heap as the Godparents listed were Albert Heap, Lilian Knowles and F Yates. Albert Yates had a sister called Florence.

I'll look and see if there was a Albert Heap in Florence Heap's family.

I can't see a marriage at the moment but the child's birth cert would confirm the mother's maiden name

Hi Penny,

I am wanting the reference to obtain the certificate to confirm my findings are correct.

Ian

Not sure what you mean. Are you wanting the reference to buy the cert for the marriage you aappear to have all the details it will contain.

* in 1911 florence is recorded as 20 years old- married 1 year

Hi,

I am trying to find the marriage of Albert b. 2nd Jan 1881, Accrington, Lancs. It appears he married Florence Heap bpt. 13th Aug 1890 at St Stephens, Burnley, Lancs. Her parents were Benjamin and Elizabeth Heap.

On the 1901 census Florence is with her widowed father at 32 Rawlinson Street, Burnley, Lancs.

The 1911 census has Albert and Florence (married 1 year) and their daughter Lilian (5months) living in Aylesbury, Bucks.

Lilian was bpt. 9th November 1910 at St Stephen's, Burnley, parents Albert and Florence of 32 Rawlinson Street, Burnley.

Help would be appreciated, thanks,

Ian
