Find Ancestors

The census info I posted was from FMP.........................

Perhaps you are putting in too much detail. As Reggie has said - try putting in less and don't be too specific. I use Findmypast and that's where my information was from.

Strange... I have just searched through GenesReunited and still not able to locate details from 1911 census given above. I must be doing something wrong!!!

You'd have found them using forename and birth year, as I suggested

1911 census

Person: PURLEY, Esther Ethel Address: 63 Sherwood St Derby
Cost


PURLEY, Joseph Head Married M 35 1876 Staionary Enigneman Derby Derbyshire VIEW

PURLEY, Mabel Daughter F 9 1902 Derby Derbyshire VIEW
PURLEY, Esther Ethel Daughter F 6 1905 Derby Derbyshire VIEW
PURLEY, Joseph Edward Son M 0 (8 MONTHS) 1911 Derby Derbyshire

Wow.... This is very impressive. I'm puzzled as to why I couldn't find this census info via my 'findthepast' website.

Thankyou so much

Have you checked emigration records?

Have you used 'variant' surname searches? Or simply searched using forename and birth info?

Married 12 years 3 children born

My grandfather's borther JOSEPH PURDY (b.1876 Derby St. Peter), married ANNIE E ROOME in 1899 (Derby). He was located in both the 1881 & 1891 census as being at home with parents William & Mary. The 1891 census listed his occupation as 'CARMAN' which clearly has links with the railway. I have his death in 1945, again Derby, and Annie in 1942 or 1965. I have not located any children, and more bizarre, there appears to no reference to either in the 1901 or 1911 census.

Could anybody point me in a direction here please.

many thanks
