Hi there again Margj

"i am trying to find any information on my dad william banks. he was born april 1886 and died in 1971 i beleive he was one of 13 children and came from the farr moor area of orrell wigan lancashire. i know he had a brother called richard and one called eli"

Have just looked on the 1891 census for Lancashire and there are 156 people called William Banks living in Lancashire.

If your William was born April 1886, depending on which side of the census he was born he would be 4 or 5 years of age at the time of that census.

There are NO 5 year olds listed – but there are 7 william’s aged 4 – but unfortunately none of them fit the details that you provided.

Were Richard and Eli older or younger than William – any idea on the christain names of their parents.

If you can provide any further info, will have another look for your ancestors.

hi chris
thanks for trying to help im afraid i have very limited knowledge and no family left who could be of any help. i think richard was older and eli younger. the names thomas & florence ring bells but whether they were parents or brother & sister i do not know. william married a mary and they had 2 sons wilfred and harry. i do not have any birthdates but harry died aged 21. william married my mum lilian ollerton prev haydock from blackrod nr bolton on 25th june1952.william was a funeral director in the orrell area. my dad was buried in st thomas church upholland in 1971
does any of this additional info help
thanks
margaret Huh
