Am trying to find the Dennis family around Twogates area. Last one found Albert Victor who married Caroline Annie Mottram. His father was Jesse Dennis (possibly Cornish roots) who married a woman called Henrietta. No more info than that, can't find them on the census, bit stuck!
Also, George Venables who married Sarah Turner from Ireland. George was in the barracks in wittington/wiggington North Staffs band master at one time.
Redfern also (workhouse) Nelly, May, Edith Margaret&Elsie latter of two being sisters (edith my gran died 1997).
If anyone knows any info or can help, would be very grateful

Caroline Annie Mottram born approx 1901.
Albert Victor Dennis born approx 1897 according to the mormon 'family search' website. My Grandmother is getting quite old now so information is a bit patchy! Still waiting for my great uncle to get in touch to see if he can offer any more!! as for the others, not really much of an idea but trying all sorts to find out!

Hi again. It looks as though the Dennis lot may have been living around Polesworth in 1901. The entries below are from www.census.pro.gov.uk for all with surname Dennis living in civil parish of Polesworth (not far from Two Gates).
Name Age Where
Born Administrative
County Civil Parish Occupation
Albert Dennis 1 Warwickshire Polesworth Warwick Polesworth
Annie Dennis 21 Warwickshire Kettlebrook Warwick Polesworth
Evelyn Dennis 1M Warwickshire Polesworth Warwick Polesworth
Francis Dennis 24 Derbyshire Church Gresley Warwick Polesworth On Setter In Colliery
Harry Dennis 21 Baddesley Warwickshire Polesworth Coal Loder Belowground
Henrietta Dennis 2 Warwickshire Polesworth Warwick Polesworth
Henrietta Dennis 25 Warwickshire Warton Warwick Polesworth
Henry Dennis 52 Leicestershire Measham Warwick Polesworth Coal Miner Hewer
Jesse Dennis 27 Derbyshire Wood Gresley Warwick Polesworth Coal Miner Holer
Jessie Dennis 3 Warwickshire Polesworth Warwick Polesworth
John Dennis 55 Durham Warwick Polesworth Coal Miner Hewer
Mary Dennis 13 Warwickshire Polesworth Warwick Polesworth
Sarah Dennis 51 Leicestershire Measham Warwick Polesworth
From your information it is likely that Jesse (27),Henrietta (25) and Albert (1) make up your family but to be sure you will have to log on to the site and pay to see the family entry.
Then, from the www.familysearch.org site there is the following:
Name Relation Marital Status Gender Age Birthplace Occupation Disability
Henry DENNIS Head M Male 32 Measham, Derby, England Coal Miner
Sarah DENNIS Wife M Female 31 Measham, Derby, England
Agnes DENNIS (Daur) Female 10 Ch Gresley, Derby, England Scholar
Frank DENNIS (Son) Male 4 Ch Gresley, Derby, England Scholar
Jesse DENNIS (Son) Male 7 Ch Gresley, Derby, England Scholar
Rosannah DENNIS (Daur) Female 1 Ch Gresley, Derby, England

Dwelling Gresley Wood Cottages
Census Place Church Gresley, Derby, England

That seems to account for some of the other people at Polesworth so gives you a lot to go on once you have verified the 1901 data. Lucky you to still have a grandma to help  Looks like you'll have your work cut out chasing them round the counties even if they didn't move far! Two Gates is Staffs, Polesworth is Warwickshire, and Church Gresley is Derbyshire but they are all close to each other and within spitting distance of Leicestershire (and not that far from Worcestershire!). Unless you are born and brought up in that part of the world I think you will need a good map
