You will need this cert for Alfreds mothers maiden name.

Births Mar 1870
GREEN Alfred W. Bromwich 6b 747

Then you can find his parents marriage to send for that cert so you can get Alfred seniors fathers name and occupation to find him on Census with him.

None are showing up readily and Green is not an uncommon name.

But of course if they WERE all born in Warwickshire this is all no good anyway..

FannyByGaslight

FannyByGaslight Report 20 Jul 2010 22:06

Maybe this one.

But you need the marriage cert to be sure of fathers name and occupation.

1851

Name: Alfred Green
Age: 12
Estimated birth year: abt 1839
Relation: Son
Father's Name: James
Mother's Name: Mary
Gender: Male
Where born: Lare, Leicestershire, England
Civil parish: Nuneaton
Ecclesiastical parish: Attleborough
County/Island: Warwickshire
Registration district: Nuneaton
Sub-registration district: Nuneaton
Household Members:
Name Age
James Green 41<<Born Nuneaton(Agri Lab)
Mary Green 35
James Green 15
Henry Green 14
Alfred Green 12
Emma Green 9<<Born France
Thomas Green 6<<Born France
Andrew Green 4<<Born France
Eliza Green

So the family will most likely be in France for 1841 census as they are not showing up..

I phoned a relative who also confirms the above info.
I also discovered that my relative has a strong belief that the ancesters of the green familt originated from France.

I really apprciate the time & effort you have given.
I will send the census when i have found it as my othyer comuter system crashed & o didn't have time to back it up.

Again thank you so very much for your time so far.

Hello,
I know this may seem a silly question to the more experienced ones here, but what doe's it mean when i see "household members".
I'm not sure if this means direct family or just people who lived there.

Thank you in advance.

Household members - they are the people who were in the house on the night of the census. Normally, they are family, but it will also include servants and visitors.
