census look up...please (completed)
« on: Sunday 15 August 10 16:48 BST (UK) »
Hi I'm new to the forum and would like any information of my grandfather and great grandfather.

My grandfather James William Horsman was born in Bramley in 1882 (Dad's father)
My Great grandfather Alfred Harwood was born in Wortley 1860 (dads grandfather..mothers side)
Can any one who has access to the 1891 yorkshire census let me know who they shared their household with.

I'm sure Alfred was married at the time to Edith

Thanks in advance :)

Hi ,

thanks for the quick reply, but this is'nt the JW Horsman I was looking for, he would be about 9 yrs old at the time, I know very little of the history of my fathers side but know he was born in Bramley.

No worries- He is 9 though and that is Bramley district- I'll check again.
I hadn't given you the address either.

There are no births for 1882/3 for a James William Horsman in Free BMD
http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

do you have him in 1911 census?

Thanks for the info re: Alfred that checks out as my grandmother was Clara, I'm not sure if she ever married JW Horsman as  there is a marriage on FREEBDM to Maggie Barrowclough.

Both he and Maggie appear on the 1891 and 1911 census:

BARROWCLOUGH, Maggie   1884   7    F      Huddersfield   Yorkshire     HORSMAN, James William          1882        9             M      Bramley   Yorkshire

Thanks for your continued help  :)

Hello, I saw the index for James William.

I am a bit confused though. Are you still thinking that the one I found isn't yours?
