Hi I'm looking for any info on an Ethel Grainger born 1900 in Grimsby, she's on the 1901 census but I can't find anything else. If anyone could help that would be brilliant.

Many Thanks

Naomi

Are you looking for more recent information, rather than information on her parents etc?

Naomi

Naomi Report 22 Nov 2007 22:23

Please don't take this the wrong way..If you have no info coming forward are you sure she is the right lady..as normally you would work backwards

Hi - no it's right as we have gone down the parentage and she was on the census from the correct line as a child. I was just trying to see if there are any relatives linked to her out there as we need more info on her father! Kind of going the wrong way -sorry for any confusion :o)

Julie

Julie Report 22 Nov 2007 22:48

So is it more info on George you are after

Naomi

Naomi Report 22 Nov 2007 22:50

Hi - no it's info on Ether post 1901, I'm trying to find out what happened to her and when she died.

Julie

Julie Report 22 Nov 2007 22:57

Hang now im getting confused lol

You say you are looking for more info on her father..are you not meaning Ethel

Julie

On the 1901 Ethel had a brother called Frank..If you do a name search on this site someone called Melanie has him in their tree

Sorry Julie, I mean I'd like to get more detail on Ethel - to see if someone related to her now might have any info on her father....???

Naomi

Naomi Report 22 Nov 2007 23:05

Are you a member of Ancestry as there is someone on there that has Ethel in their tree, but you need to PM them..its in the Personal Member Trees

It seems to say that father George is Deaf and Blind on the 1901, but not on the Welsh 1891 census. Do you think he had some sort of accident.

I wish I was on Ancestry but I'm afraid I'm not...waiting to see what santa brings!

Naomi

Naomi Report 22 Nov 2007 23:40

Hi Gail - yes that's right about George his father, he was a retired fisherman so we think an accident is likely.

Hi Rose - sorry I've not verified the others - only taken them from my nan and 1901 census, I'll look into it. thanks
