Where was Richard DAVENPORT pre 1910?

[FLS]

Hello,

I am trying to find a Richard Davenport and his family pre 1910 but not getting very far.

I know he was born approx. 1889 in Manchester and married Elizabeth Tidswell 25/06/1910 in St. Silas, Manchester. Marriage certificate states his Dad to be named James and a witness as Annie Davenport.
In 1911, I have him at 8 Yarwoods buildings, Manchester with his wife and 1st Child (Hilda) and he later dies in WW1 but I cannot find his WW1 admission papers, nor his census records pre 1911 or any trace of the other Davenports.
At Marriage, both Richard and Elizabeth are at 50 Ainsworth st, Manchester. Having searched the census for this address hoping to find family, it looks as though records for no. 50 are missing in 1901 and 1911.
I have tried searching for Richard, Annie and James with surname variations D-a\e-v-o\e-nport but cannot prove any of them to be the correct family.

Would greatly appreciate any help in tracing him or his parents and siblings.
Many Thanks,
Faye

Welcome to Rootschat

What was his fathers occupation on the marriage cert

EDIT

Just found the marriage - James was a labourer

Both Richard and his Father James are listed as Labourers.

Have you already ruled out the 12yr old Richard Davenport b Manchester living with mother Jane plus a number of siblings in Manchester in 1901

There is a daughter Hannah who could possibly be the witness Annie

Hi,

I'd had a look at this but tracing back, in 1891 the Father of the children is a George Davenport so I had ruled them out due to the Fathers name not being James.

Thanks,

I suspect this is the RIngley Davenports in that village in 1901 - doesn't look like Richard would fit in anywhere (nor is there a Richard in this family in1891)
