we know they were in the Walcot area of Bath in 1909 if Joanna was born in 1904 she would have been 5 and old enough to attend school, also the parent would have been put on notice to have Sydney and Dorothy vaccnated against smallpox - these records would be held at the Local RO,
in 1914 again we know they were in Holly Street Liverpool and by then Sydney was old enough to attend school - so find the nearest school to Holly Street.

As you can probably tell, my head is not working today toni.  How do I check the school records.  And aren't vaccinations classed as medical records?  I'm not very good at this, which is probably why I've got nowhere with my search.  Is this classified information or open to the public?

i wonder if the News of the World have an archive you could search, it wil take a long time for them to search through every appeal made in the 1970's if they had one every week 520 maybe they had more than one.

I've sent an email to the News of the World Archives asking if it's possible to trace an advert or article that was put in nearly thirty years or so ago.  They have replied saying they will get back to me and if I have any more details that I want to add, to send them to them.  I just outlined that it was a family named Wheeler who placed and ad looking for their relatives and that my aunt Joanna Lawless answered the add.  Here's hoping hey?  x x

Hi Toni

I didn't real want to get too involed with this Thread!(Though I'm in Yorkshire Liverpool is a little out of my range for archives and libraries) but its seems to be getting to the limits of census and online info.

I follow your line of thinking! There could be a Will of Richard Young and Edward Wheeler also Charles Young 1937.  With so limited info pre 1914 back to 1902/ its the pre life of Emily either with another chap or with Charles but was Emily using the other chaps name and everted to her own at marriage to Charles or was they abroad in the USA. School records are a must!

I'll see what I can dig up in the new year!

Hi there.  Only just read your post.  Not been on yesterday as I've not been too well, but I'd like to thank you for your offer of help in the new year..  Everyone on here has been so fantastic.  Thank you again.  God bless.  Mary x x

I'm just thinking.  As my father is the youngest of his siblings, then in 1937 when Charles died it is highly likely that his  age is  probably correct on his death cert as his youngest child(my dad Sidney Young) would have been 28.  Given that some of the children were born before 1901 they would have been going on for their late thirties/early 40s, so he probably would have been 64 when he died.  x x
