Please can you help me find the family in 1881.

Thank you all for this information.  When George married in Scotland in 1898, no father was listed. He did move to England and when he married again in Glos. in 1938 his father was shown as Duncan Fraser Patience, deceased, Painter.

I wondered if Christina had married a Duncan Fraser but I couldn't find a marriage record (on Ancestry). The 1876 record you've found solves the puzzle.

I do have the '39 Register and the Probate notice thanks.

My friend Mavis (Patience) visited Tain several years ago and searched for the burial site or info about her grandparents Duncan Fraser Patience and Christina. She asked me if I could find any details and now I have lots to tell her, so thank you again. Jeff

Family History Beginners Board / George PATIENCE
« on: Tuesday 16 January 24 12:38 GMT (UK)  »
I’m researching GEORGE PATIENCE (1873–1963) who was born on 21 June 1873 at Morangie Road, Tain, Ross and Cromarty, Scotland.

His Birth Registration records that he was illegitimate. His mother was Christina Patience, a Domestic Servant, born abt. 1845 in Dornoch, Sutherland, Scotland. (Her father John was the ferryman at Meikle Ferry.)

In 1861 Christina was with her mother Margaret at Well Street, Tain, Ross and Cromarty, Scotland and in 1873 she gave birth to George at Morangie Road, Tain.

In 1871 her mother Margaret Patience was at Morangie Road, Ross and Cromarty, Scotland (with her son John Patience).

I’ve been unable to find census records for George or Christina Patience for 1871 and 1881. Can you help please?

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Robert's occupation
« on: Friday 11 February 22 10:41 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks everyone for trying. I guess we'll never know exactly what it says. Robert went on to work as a tram car driver in Southampton for many years, having been an 'ostler' in Devon when he was much younger. Unfortunately employee records for Southampton Tram Co. were destroyed in the blitz.
Thank you, Jeff.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Robert's occupation
« on: Thursday 10 February 22 14:20 GMT (UK)  »
Any ideas please to read the occupation of my great grandfather Robert Taylor in 1901 in Southampton? He was previously a tram car driver in Bristol and later a tram car driver in Southampton. The word 'Tram' has been added across all 3 entries.

Lancashire / John Dean & Elizabeth Lynch
« on: Tuesday 25 January 22 13:04 GMT (UK)  »
John Dean (b. abt. 1833 Manchester) married Elizabeth Lynch (b. abt 1841 Ireland, King’s County) on 6 Sept 1869 (St Mary, St Denys and St George, Manchester).

John Dean (16 Strand Street) was a Sawyer. Father James Dean (Printer).
Elizabeth Lynch (15 Higginston Street). Father Edward Lynch (Butcher)

In 1881 they were at 16 Peter Street, Hulme, Lancs. with children John 11 and Mary 10. In 1891 they were at 6 Beech Square, Hulme with children John and Mary.

John was employed as a Wood Sawyer.

I can’t find either of them in the 1871 census or with their families before they were married. Can you help please?
