William and Ellen Cartwright (née Dobson)

[MacGrigor]

Hello,

These are my great-great-grandparents. William Frederick was born in 1865, in Norwell, Nottinghamshire, growing up with his paternal aunt and uncle (I have confirmed this through GRO). Ellen was born in 1870, in Wigston. They are believed to have married in c. 1888, according to the 1911 Census record, although I cannot find a record. Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Adam McGregor

Where do you have them on census in 1891

[MacGrigor]

They should be in Wigston. I'll check.

[MacGrigor]

Yes, it is Wigston. Moat Street, where my grandfather was also born. First child, William, born c. 1890, in Wigston.

That William F is born Newark    There is another William F born around the same time at Norwell living with his sister

[MacGrigor]

There are two?

[MacGrigor]

Can you link me the two records? My William F was married to Ellen and living in Wigston. Perhaps I have been researching the wrong person.

Then I've been researching the wrong person. It's William Cartwright born c. 1866, in Newark.
