Same family in 1911:-

Harold Cheetham Son Single Male School 10 1901 Sheffield Yorks

Harold and Sarah have been married 19 years and in 1911 had 3 children, two living and one died.

HOWEVER - this is their marriage:-


First name(s) HENRY ADDISON
Last name CHEETHAM
Marriage quarter 2
Marriage year 1892
Registration month -

As you can see Sarah's surname was not Smith, so not sure if ths is the family you are looking for (unless Sarah had been married before).

so Johanne ..............

what do you really want to know??

It does help us if you tell us exactly what you want.

You should also realise that you are not reaching ALL the helper members when you post on General Chat ............ there are helpers on the Genealogy Chat and Find Ancestors Boards who never, or almost never, look at General Chat.

Johanne has also posted on Find Ancestors about Alice's sister Jean
http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/ancestors/thread/1359349

Rather than having duplicate posts & research spread around the boards, it might be best for helpers to continue on that one

Why do people have to take it on themselves to report threads when they are by people who are new to the boards. Det had already suggested that it might be better for it to be all on one thread. Now Alice can't delete this one, or it may be deleted before she gets the information.
