	Both my great grandparents were in service in the same street 2 doors away from each other in the 1911 census. They married in march 1912. Is there any way of being able to findout how long people in private employment were actually employed for ie .. 2yrs 3yrs and so on. Would hopefully give me an idea of how long they may of known each other before actually getting wed. They had a child in 1912 so i can guess why they wed rather quickly

Google Wirksworth Parish records, it has a wealth of info on all aspects of life that our ancesters experienced. It has mostly Derbyshire records,but everything else is relavent to us all. It may have the info that you wanted, I just wasn't looking for that. Hope this helps, Nina in Sheffield.
