What is the Mayhew spelling pleas?

I believe that Henry S Dukes has been eliminated! I think I either found him married to someone else or a different death cert for him - I can't remember which!

Hi Dukesy,

Could you post the 1901 census reference  for your grandfather?  :)

I did come up with him, but I think it was this cert that put me off Henry Samuel, because I think the time frame would be too short for him to have remarried and had children with Selina. My brother has the first child's birth cert, but is not letting me see it, so I think I will have to send for it to see all the details. There was also another child in the workhouse with the family in the 1870s - I can't find a record of this birth, I think that would be quite helpful to find. does anyone know what the costs of asking the GRO to do a search for a marr. cert would be?
Would it be possible that they just lived together as man and wife?

Apart from that this Henry Samuel looks really good.

Tati asked for the 1901 census reference for your grandfather, not your great-grandfather.

Sorry - doing too many things at once!!

Just gone to my file for my grandfather - and it was the first result I got in my research, got it from Genes and you know it doesn't give the RG number. I hadn't noticed that before. I'll have to go on to Ancestry and get the ref. no.

The family were living at 64 Helen St. Cardiff at the time of the 1901 census.. I'll get back to you with the ref in a mo. Sorry once more.
