Having a lot of difficulty finding the birth and parents/siblings of James Everett who according to the 1911 census when he was living in Barnsley,Yorkshire was born in Normanton Derbyshire. In 1911 he described himself as a labourer aged 58 and married to Sarah Ann for 20 years, aged 48 b.Staleybridge, Lancs. Also present was their daughter Ellen aged 11 b. Heckmondwike, Yorkshire in 1900.
They were also in Barnsley for the 1901 census but their places of birth seem to have been transposed by one line. If so his p.o.b. is given as Derby and he was a stone quarry labourer aged 53.
Despite months of looking I have found no record of a birth for any of them nor a marriage. The Family hearsay is that Ellen never had a birth certificate. They seemed to travel around a lot and a few months after her birth in Heckmondwike they were in lodgings in Barnsley so perhaps she wasn't registered.
If the 1911 census is to be believed they were married around 1891 but no luck anywhere. The surname is variously spelled Everett, Everitt, Everatt and variations of those. They would have been in their 30s by that time so maybe they were previously married?
Can anybody help find James in Normanton in the 1850s?
