He's on the 1901 as a Private at Bradford Moor Barracks and hes supposed to have faught in the first world war he was born in c.1879. I can't seem to find him in the 1891 or the 1881 census though. Dan.

Ok gonna have a look for you Zoe

This is him in 1901 as you said Name: Albert Wharton Age: 22 Estimated birth year: abt 1879 Relation: Private Household: View other family members Gender: Male Where born: Dewsbury, Yorkshire, England Civil parish: Bradford Ecclesiatical parish: Bradford St Clement County/Island: Yorkshire Country: England Source information: RG13/4154 Registration district: Bradford Sub-registration district: Bradford East ED, institution, or vessel: Bradford Moor Barracks Folio: 160 Page: 11 Household schedule number: 1

Yeah thats him in 1901. Dan.

So you don't know your great great grandmothers name do you know when your grt grandmother was born? Zoe

Well this is the problem my great grandmother Emily Wharton would probably have been born in the early 1900's and this is the problem out of the three wives he had I don't know which would be my great great grandmother. Dan.

Hello He is listed as single in 1901- where did you get the information that he'd been married three times?

Well my Grandad (Albert's Grandson) told me and Nana had mentioned it to me, I also spoke to other people within the family and they seem to say the same thing. Appartinly he was sent to Strangeways Prison in Manchester. Dan.

He was only 22 in 1901 so he had time. Emily Wharton do you know where she came from? Zoe

I should imagine that she was born either Dewsbury or Bradford Dan.

possible Name: Wharton, Emily Ann Record Type: Births Quarter: September Year: 1905 District: Dewsbury County: West Riding of Yorkshire Volume: 9b Page: 607 Let me see if I can find a marriage to match Zoe

My Grandad was born July 1934 Dan. Zoe Its Albert Wharton , not Alfred. Not sure if we're clear but Emily Wharton is one of his children. I think we are i might be having a blonde moment.

So your grandads mother is Emily born early 1900's the one I posted was the only one in those areas. It's such a shame have to wait another 5 or 6 years for the 1911 census as it would solve so many mysteries Only thing I can think of it to find your great grandmas marriage cert and see how old she is on that and get her fathers occupation! When do you think she got married? And whom did she marry? Zoe

I knew I shouldn't have put those blonde streaks in sorry let me get rid of the uselessness Zoe

Emily married Robert Taylor (nice common name for you there!). My Grandad was born 1934 so I should imagine they got married around that time, the problem is my Grandad isn't really that interested in family history and my Nana's knowledge on her husbands family is more limited than her own family. Dan.

I meant i was having a blonde moment not you lol!

Zoe its ALBERT Wharton

Do you know when your grt grandma died? As it should have her birth year on death reference Zoe
