Hi Cass,

There is a entry on FreeBMD for his marriage

Dec Q 1906 Cockermouth, Cumberland
John Ousby Whitfield and Annie Pearson

so with that in mind this is the most likely 1901 census for him

409 Woods Terrace, Workington, Cumberland

James Whitfield Head M 64yrs Labourer b. Whitehaven, Cumberland
Mary A Whitfield Wife M 62yrs b. Whitehaven, Cumberland
John Whitfield Son U 29yrs Labourer b. Harrington, Cumberland

His birth registration refutes the "fact" that he was born in Workington, as that was in Cockermouth Reg Dist.  Harrington was part of Whitehaven Reg Dist.

Births Dec 1872
WHITFIELD    John Ousby         Whitehaven

These could be children of theirs (if they moved to Workington)

Births Jun 1912
Whitfield    Charlotte M    (mother Pearson)    Cockermouth    10b   1274   
Births Sep 1914   
Whitfield    Jane O    (mother Pearson)    Cockermouth    10b   1329

Well that certainly does seem to make the census entry more likely, as he is born in Harrington.

So: born - Harrington, lived with parents - Workington, Married - likely Workington but at least the Cockermouth reg district, and kids in the Cockermouth Reg district  Wink

Hope that sorts some stuff out for you Cass

Many thanks to you all. It certainly appears to be the correct family. They had another child that I know of - Margaret born in 1910 who was killed in a road accident aged 18. I will hopefully be able to find marriages for these other 2 girls and hopefully decendants. Cass

Hi Cass

There are definite, possible marriage registrations for both of the girls in Cockermouth, so your search for them should not be in vain.

However, if you do not manage to find them, please let me know and I will send you the details by personal message (so as not to publicly identify anyone who is possibly still living).

Best wishes

Hi DS, I used to be able to get free BMD on my computer but that seems to have gone now!! Not sure why - but it would be great if you could send me the details as it would save me a trip to the local library. Many thanks Cass

Hi DS, I used to be able to get free BMD on my computer but that seems to have gone now!! Not sure why -

FreeBMD runs out at (about ) 1914 - that's how I found those two births - there may have been later ones too.  Eventually, I suppose, FreeBMD will also have their marriages but that will be some time in the future.

Hi Geoff, I made a mistake when I said free BMD - on the website Ancestry you were able to see copies of the actual BMD entries ( I had it on my favourites!!) but now that is pay per view. Cass

Hi Cass

I will send the details as promised.

You have to search in the Complete GRO indexes which are available free of charge on the Ancestry site. You will have to register with your name and email address if you have not already done so.

Here is the link

http://www.ancestry.co.uk/search/rectype/vital/freebmd/bmd.aspx

You can look through each quarter one by one until you find what you are looking for. Give it a try (for practice) with the information that I will PM to you and see if you can find them. Once you get used to it you will be able to search for any possible children from the two marriages.

Geoff

Your link to FreeBMD does not work. I had similar problems with this until very recently when Newfy explained what we were doing wrong.

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,242509.msg1320969.html#msg1320969

The “www.” needs to be deleted from the link. The last bit is not needed either.

Hello again Cass

I have just checked (using another unsubscribed identity) on Ancestry and you are correct that the complete indexes do not seem to be available free of charge at the moment.

I am not sure whether this is going to be a permanent thing or if it is just a temporary “blip” whilst some maintenance work is being carried out.

In fact, if I type freebmd in my address bar - no coms, no uks, no dots, no w's, no nuthin - it takes me to the FreeBMD home page!

Thanks DS for your offer. I took myself off to the library this afternoon and found 2 possible children for Charlotte. Searched up until end of 1939. Did not find any for Jane. Tried to find possible siblings for Charlotte and Jane - there was a possiblity of a Mary Ann and a John James (Whitfield) pre- 1912. But the mothers maiden name was not listed so unsure if these were the right ones. Cass
