Hello,
I would appreciate help in finding information on the following:
Herbert Leese (My great Uncle) is shown on the 1901 Census, as being age 11. He would have been born about 1890. This great uncle, I never knew existed.
The 1891 Census show William H. Leese, age 8 - born abt. 1883. I was thinking here the middle initial "H" could have been Herbert, but there is too much discrepancy in the years.
These children are sons of my great grandparents: William Leese & Sarah Ann Bradley.
I do hope thst someone can shed light on this.
Many thanks in advance.
Doris

Tati.
Thank you so much. You have cleared up the mystery, on checking this makes perfect sense.
If I could ask you one more favour, could you find anything out about Albert E. (Herbert's brother) William Thomas, born in 1870. I had checked out William Thomas before, but a relative of mine thought it was William Francis, but I am convinced it is William Thomas.
Again let me tell you how much your help is appreciated.
Thank you.
Doris

Hi Doris,
His second initial looks like T indeed both in 1891 and 1881, and the 1871 census spells it out:
1871
RG10/2812 88 18
Lilleshall, Shropshire
Donnington Wood
Donnington Barracks
William Lees, head, 61, Coal Miner
Mary, wife, 60
Ellen, granddau, 7, scholar
/
Thomas Lees, lodger, mar, 22, Coal Miner
Sarah A, wife, 24
William Thomas, son, 1
All born Lilleshall.
The most likely birth registration I can see is:
Thomas William Lees - Dec 1869 - Newport S - 6a 784

Hi Tati,
Thank you very much for your help. It is awful hard to find information "with an ocean between us" so to speak.
I have another question to ask you and I will try not to bother you anymore.
How would I go about finding out if my Great Uncles & Great Aunts married? My grandfather, Joseph Thomas Leese, son of Thomas Leese & Sarah Ann Bradley married Julia Humpherson (My grandmother.)
Grandfather Joseph had a sister Julia (1874). She died at age 19
William Thomas Leese (1870) married unknown
Sabina Leese (1877) married unknown
John Leese (1879) I do know about. He married Emily Humpherson and came
to Canada
William H. Leese (1884) married unknown
Harriet Leese (1887) married unknown
Albert E. Leese (1889) married unknown
George Leese (1883) - never married, came to Canada with brother John
Leonard Leese (1885) - I believe this is the only Great Uncle that I have
nearly completed information,
If I could only receive some information from a marriage indes or such so that I could order certificates.
Sorry for the length of this.
Thanking you again.
Doris
