Dorothy, I can't work it out. I've been through every single George Smith marriage in Leicester and can't match him with a Dorothy or a Polly. I still can't find them in 1891 either.

Hi Tracy. Could you help me please... Joseph White... My Grand father was a widower in 1913, he then married an 'Alice'. He was living in the Openshaw/ Ardwick area of Manchester. I am not sure just when he remarried but were married by the 1920's. All I know about 'Alice' is that she was born c 1879 as I have her death cert but no maiden name on it. There were no children of the second marriage. I tried for a marriage cert for a 'Alice Robinson and Joseph White' it was returned....fathers name incorrect. I know quite a bit about Alice, as I have family postcards, she had a sister Nelly......so if I find her maiden name I can do 1901 check now. Any help would be 'much appreciated' Gill

Hi Tracey, You really are very kind offering to help everyone - I wonder whether I can place my request at the end of your long queue. I am looking for the death of William Mattless, born February 1844 in Watton, Norfolk. He was still alive when his wife Esther died in October 1895 in Clenchwarton, Norfolk but after that I seem to have lost him!! I can't find him on the 1901 census and his younger children seemed to be living with older siblings at the time which makes me think that he had died. Do you think you can shed any light? Kind regards Julie

You helped me out with the Slacks before, wish I could give you more info on Reg Mackrill but thats all I have, he and Dorothy had one daughter Patricia in 1943 but unfortunately she has died so we are struggling to find out any further history beyond Reginald.

Hi Tracey this is my original post Perhaps you can help me as I have come to a dead end researching on my father's side of the family. I know that his father Albert Smith was born in Leicester in 1889. I have his marriage certificate in 1911 to Beatrice May Cart but I cannot find his birth certificate. I have found him on the 1901 census aged 11 living with his father George and mother Polly and his 4 siblings but have not been able to find him on 1891 census or his parents on any other census. His father was also born in Leicester but his mother was born in London according to the 19o1 census. I am confused about his mother's name as my father told me that his grandmother was called Dorothy and her maiden name was Howard.I hope you can help with this mystery. Thanks Dot --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How do you know it was John she married? I can't see either a birth from Frederick or a marriage for Elizabeth.

Hi Tracy I wonder if you can help me. Is it possible for you to look at the actual page of the 1881 census? I am looking for Alfred Holloway Head aged 21 cellarman Elizabeth Holloway Wife 28 born Maldon Elizabeth Holloway Daughter 6 months. My problem is that I can’t find a marriage between Alfred and Elizabeth ( I have virtually given up hope for this) however although I know this won’t help I’d like to know if Elizabeth’s age is really 28 and born Maldon or whether this could be a transcription error. Incidentally on the 1891 census she calls herself Esther Holloway and on various birth certificates I have she makes her mark as the mother in the name of Esther. A bit long winded this I know but if you could just check the page I would be really grateful. Kindest regards Marion

Susan, the only possible (other than the one you found) was this John Green abt 1848 Chatham, Kent, England Greenwich Kent The image isn't very clear on the surname, but he is listed as an Orphan.
