[Jaime2013]

can anyone help me i am looking for James Fleming in 1911, his wife Dorothy Nicholson (born Bill Quay, Durham- near newcastle) is living with her father (Robert), siblings, children and nieces and newphews.

James and Dorothy married in 1904 Gateshead.

there is rumours that James is from Ireland, but i have nothing to confirm this.

im asking for 1901 instead then hun. i just want answers. i cant find him in 1901 or 1911

What was his occupation on the marriage cert and what was his fathers name?

[Jaime2013]

thats it i dont know. all i know is he got married to dorothy Nicholson in 1904

The 1901 census was 3yrs before the marriage so he could have been in any county at that time. 

How do you know he was born approx 1880 if you don't have the marriage cert?  Where did you get that info from?

There are 11 entries in 1901 for that name - only one is in the Durham area who was b S/Shields 1878/78 parents Charles and Mary Ann

Without confirmation from his marriage cert it would be impossible to determine the correct entry - particularly if there is a possibility he was not born in England

[CaroleW]

If you check the Irish 1901 which is free to search - there are a very large number of James Flemings in the birthyear range you have given

He may have been a mariner hence his absence from the 1911 entry

i used ancestry for the answers. i found his wife born in 1880 in durham/newcastle

His wife is not the problem - James is - and you have no info about him apart from the marriage to Dorothy.  You only have family rumour that he "may" have been born in Ireland and his birthyear of 1880 (ish) is a "guesstimate" presumably based on Dorothy's birthyear

The Scottish 1901 has 33 James Fleming entries in the range 1879-1881 and the Welsh 1901 has one entry

Given the combined total of entries on the various nationalities - how do you determine which one is yours?

You need to obtain some more info and at the moment the only way is to buy a copy of the 1904 marriage cert to get his age and occupation and his fathers name and occupation.    That may help to at least narrow it down
