Got them in 1911 but need help to find them in 1901 please. Have the following family in 1911 living in Keighley
William Henry Greenwood age 38
Sarah Greenwood 36 (maiden name Harper)
William Harper Greenwood 16
Ivor Tempest Greenwood 14
Henry Brunker Greenwood 13
Sarah Harper 70 (maiden name Brunker)

all were born in Keighley except Sarah jnr in Merthyr/Cefn and her mother Sarah in Liverpool/Hoylake (depending on which other entries one finds)

Have found Sarah jnr in 1901 living with son Ivor in Keighley. But no sign of husband, children or her mother despite searching.

Would very much appreciate any help in finding them in. Cheers.

Have had a look at the Ancestry service records. In 1901 William was in the Army and not at home. He was discharged in 1922 and in 1921 his records state 'he was separated from his wife' and then a page further on it states that his wife had died(?).

Actual date of birth of William Harper Greenwood was 23rd August 1894 and Harry Brunker Greenwood was born on 27th February 1897. His date of marriage to Sarah Eliza Harper was 5th May 1894.
