Hi Folks,

I am looking to trace Harry Towers, here's his birth reg;

Births Jun 1864
TOWERS Harry Mt Bosworth 7a 77

(spent too much already, so if I can get away without buying his birth cert it would be great)

here he is;

1901 England Census
about Harry Towers
Name: Harry Towers
Age: 33
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1868
Relation: Head
Spouse's Name: Sarah A
Father's Name: William
Gender: Male
Where born: Ibstock, Leicestershire, England

Civil Parish: Brinsworth
Ecclesiastical parish: Rotherham All Saints
Town: Canklow
County/Island: Yorkshire
Country: England
Harry Towers 33
Sarah A Towers 32
Harry Towers 15
Georgeana Towers 3
Frederick Towers 2
William Bennett 82 <<<<<<<<< father in law
Clary Towers 3 months



And again in 1911;

TOWERS, HARRY HEAD MARRIED M 46 COAL MINER CHARGEMAN LEICES IBSTOCK
TOWERS, MARIA WIFE MARRIED 6 F 50 LEICES BARLESTONE
TOWERS, FRED SON M 14 LEICES IBSTOCK
TOWERS, GEORGINA DAUR F 13 LEICES IBSTOCK
LIVERLEY, ARTHUR STEP SON SINGLE M 19 COAL MINER PONY DRIVER LEICES BARLESTONE
LIVERLEY, WILLIAM GRANDSON M 8 LEICES IBSTOCK


His 2nd marriage;

Marriages Jun 1905
Liveley Maria Mt.Bosworth 7a 199
TOWERS Harry Market Bosworth 7a 199


Maria's son Arthur lively married my G Grandmother Selina Towers;

Marriages Mar 1912
Lively Arthur Towers Mt.Bosworth 7a 109
Towers Selina Lively Mt.Bosworth 7a 109


So what I'm trying to find out is, is Harry related to my line of Towers??? My Towers were born in Ibstock Leicestershire, the same as Harry.

Selina was born in 1891, her mother who was unmarried at the time she had selina was Clara Towers born 1875, and her father was William Towers born 1845 Ibstock leicestershire.


I can't find Harry prior to the 1891 census, any help would be great.

Hope I haven't confused you all too much.

Hi,

So in 1871 Selina and the children are mistranscribed, thank you for that.

I wonder if Henry is Harry??? If so then I can see the link to "my" Towers, just wish I could confirm it. Looks like i'm going to have to buy either a birth or marriage cert.

Many thanks again Tania and PaulaW
