Census look up - Ambrose family
« on: Sunday 21 June 09 07:36 UTC (UK) »
Hi,

I have census information for my GGG Grandfather John Ambrose b. 1823 at Liverpool, for the years 1841 up to 1881.    Unfortunately I don't have access to Ancestry at the moment, and I am looking for him for 1891 and 1901.    He was living at 6 Smith Street, Manchester with his daughter Elizabeth Collier and family in 1881 census, John Ambrose was widowed.   We know that he died around 1910.
So was wondering if we could have more information on the family for those two census years.

Also I am looking for Ernest Ambrose b. 1891 Manchester, trying to ascertain his parents names.
He married in 1914 to Maud Barlow and then migrated to Canada in 1921.   Still trying to find the family line he comes through.   His father's name could be Thomas, Joseph, William, Jonathon, James or John Henry.

Regards

Tati,

Forgot to say, did you have any luck with Ernest Ambrose at all?   Only looking for 1901 census, as he was born 1891.

Well, the only Ernest Ambrose I can see is age 7 on the census, son of a widowed John H Ambrose born Manchester ca. 1856.

Doubt if he's the one, really  Undecided

Hi Tati,

Can you give me the details on that please, I may be able to check further with my family.  Ernest was a cousin of my grandfather, John Alfred Collier, shown in 1891 census as being 10 years of age then

Tati,

Thanks for this, though its very interesting, Ernest's father was obviously married before, will have to look further into this.

It is definitely our family, as I know Ernest had a sister Evelyn.

Good  Cheesy

In 1881, his wife is Jane and their oldest child is 11, so this marriage looks right:

Dec 1868 Manchester 8d 362
John Henry Ambrose to Jane Capstick
(Lancashire BMD shows an alternate name Jane Owen for her)

Tati,

Here we go again, well I've checked up freebdm and have confirmed all of this, it would appear that maybe John Henry Ambrose married firstly in 1868, I was wondering if you would be able to check 1871 census for me please.

Hi Tati,

Well thank you very much for so much of this, what an interesting life these people had, how sad, John lost two wives, no wonder Ernest ended up migrating to Canada.

I think we have closed this posting now, I appreciate all that you have done for me

regards

Hi Tati,

I thought I had finished this subject on John Henry Ambrose, but was wondering if you had access to the 1911 census, as I would like to be able to determine when he died.

I am still thinking of the possibility that he may have migrated to Canada, as other family members did.
