Martin Report 4 Jul 2014 16:09

I am at a total brick wall in the search for details of my great uncle Martin Faulkner. the only information that I can find of him is in the 1911 census of West Riding of Yorkshire showing him to be lodging with my grandfather Thomas Faulkner living in South Kirkby. His year of birth was given as 1880 and place of birth Hanley Staffordshire. I can find no sign of his birth nor of his death Can anyone help Please?

It would help people to help you if you told us all you know when asking for our time

Please post only one thread per topic, which is one of the site guidelines

NB As you can see, I discounted the birth once I found the other info, but I left it for elimination purposes

Martin was Thomas's brother according to 1911, but you knew that, as you referred to him as your great-uncle
