I am also looking for my 'Humphries' forebears. 1881 census: Henry Humphries 51 Oldbury worcs miner age 51. b. Wales Ann 50 John29, Henry 16, Thomas 13, Philip 12, William9 (my grandfather), Annie 7, Humphrey Humphries 75. also. Wednesbury staffs. Isaac Humphries 11 living with uncle James Yates. Do we have any names in common, Rosepip? Lilac.
HI Lilac, You have git me quite excited. Sarah Humphries and Edward Arthur had 3 children Isaac 1870 Harry 1875 Sarah 1876
Sarah 1876 is my grandmother I cannot find any of the family on the 1881 census but on the 1891 census Edward has a new wife Mary Ann This tallies with a photo i have with Sarah on her 21 st with her father and stepmother.
Sarah married Albert Stoppard in 1903
Isaac married Mary Ann Quarry in 1894 and had 3 children Flossie , Bertie and Frankie
Harry married ? i do not know who, but he had one child that i know of called Cath and this is where the excitement starts , she married a William Yates (Bill) they had no children, could this be a missing link. Harry must have married after the 1901 census because he was still living with his parents at that time
Hope this sheds some light , wouldnt it be grand to start the new year with a new family member traced
I expect you've already seen this on the 1881 census, but I thought I would mention it in case you hadn't and there was a connection to your Edward.
