Thanks Miliepede, yes they were all born in Bradford.
I have tried various ways of spelling the surname, even looked at address searches but must admit I have not looked at Edward and the 3 children being in an institution, although I'm sure my Grandma would have said but its worth a try, thanks Carole8353

I have Richards original marriage cert from 1892 and the father is named as Richard but for some reason he and Selina Eccles (another Selina) married in Burnley, Lancashire, they didn't stay there as they lived all their lives in Bradford.
Richard died in 1933 and I have the details of the people also buried in the grave and it gives their parents names, Richards parents are named as Aquilla and Selina Pollard, so I am not sure why the fathers name was Richard on the marriage cert, unless they eloped to Burnley......

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Kellet - missing from 1911 census

Hello, how likely is it that a family would be missing from the 1911 census? I have Ancestry and FindMyPast neither of which have my family listed. The mother Annie Kellet 1868-1914, nee Ford, is in the workhouse hospital in Horton, listed as lunatic. I know that 3 of the children were living with their father, Edward Kellett 1868-1915 (my Grandmother Mary Kellett 1902-1969 and the other 2 children Clara 1898-1934 and Richard 1906-1986) as my aunt gave me this information.
I know Edward must have been under a lot of strain with no wife and 3 children to look after, so maybe he didn't fill in the form, is that very likely?
There is another child, Ellen 1894 - 1970 but she is living with an Aunt.

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Aquilla Pollard 1846-?
« on: Thursday 25 July 13 12:45 BST (UK)  »
Hello, I have been researching my family tree for many, many years but one of the brick walls is the death of my 2x Gt Grandfather, Aquilla (various spellings from different records) Pollard, born 2 June 1846, Victoria Street, Silsbridge Lane, Bradford. I have him on all the census, 1851, 1861, 1871, his marriage to Selina Marshall in 1873, even his trial in Dec 1868 (where he was acquitted) the last record I can find of him is 7 April 1877 where he was present at his Mothers death (Mary Ackroyd) 10 Westend Lane, Bradford.
He had 3 children only 1(my Gt Grandfather Richard Pollard) survived to adulthood, Richard was living with an aunt on the 1881 census, so I am assuming that Aquilla died, left? sometime after 1877, any advice would be most welcome.

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Catholic chapel of Bradford and North Bierley 1854
« on: Sunday 03 March 13 14:49 GMT (UK)  »
Hello, Just wondering if anyone could advise what the name of this chapel was, have tried googling with no success....I have Richard Ford and Ellen O'Donnell marrying in August 1854, Richard's father, Ulick moved to America with his wife Catherine and some of the children about 1847 but Richard came to Bradford, originally they were all from Ireland, sadly no area listed.
Any advise gratefully received

Oh Blimey, thank you for the reply though, poor woman, her husband died a year later, Mortis Cardis, I was thinking that was a heart attack? but maybe something to do with syphylis too.
regards
Joanne
