Hi
I have spent many hours trying to find what happened to Samuel North, and have found quite a lot of information but there are gaps and also several records of marriages/deaths and I don't know which, if any, are mine! This is what I know:
1871 Census, living with parents Charles and Sophia in Broadwinsor, age 4, born Broadwinsor
Record of birth Q3 1866 Beaminster District fits with this.
1881 Census, living with Bailey family as apprentice blacksmith, age 14 but no birthplace given (not seen original, so not 100% certain this is my Samuel)
1891 Census, one record working on farm in Wincanton, age 29, born Broadwinsor (birthplace right, age not, also says married, but no sign of wife)
1901 Census there are three possible records, but I don't know if any are right (not seen originals)
1911 Census, one record, but born Churchstanton, so didn't think it was right
Three possible records of marriage, Q4 1888 to Emily Elizabeth Saunders or Emily Jane Tarr Taunton; Q1 1892 to Eliza Ann Hole or Rose Pope Wincanton; Q1 1895 to Emily Hoare Taunton.
Two possible deaths, Q2 1910 age 43 Wincanton; Q4 1927 age 61 Taunton.
I would really welcome any advice as to how to try and find my Samuel among all these records.
Thank you for reading this.
Cheers
