Trying to find the bap of Arthur Biggs 1904 Wirral, would like to find his parents please.
also the marraige of Arthur to ellen DOBY, belived to be in Bebbington Cheshire. 1922 to 1930c. although Ellen was from Glasgow, Scotland, she married in cheshire. I have nothing on the DOBY family as being from Glasgow i find that difficult!
The Children of the above Arthur and Ellen were all born Bebbington cheshire, they would be a help to know also.
Many thanks

Hi Sam-Ann,
I think that your best bet would be to obtain Arthur's birth certificate. From www.freebmd.org.uk:
Arthur BIGGS, Mar 1904 Wirral 8a 430
With this information you can order the certificate online from the GRO for £7.
For the marriage you could use the free BMD indexes at www.ancestry.co.uk - you will need to search 4 quarters for each year - when you find a likely marriage you then need to check for the spouse's surname and make sure that the references match, then you can order a certificate as above.
The marriage certificate should give Ellen's age, then you can post on the Scotland Forum for help to find her birth record.

Thank you Jean, this has helped me a great deal. i'll send for the certificate today.
Many thanks,

Arthur's parents are:
James Alfred biggs b. 1868 Bebington Cheshire and his mother was Harriet hughes b. 1869 Bebington cheshire. Would it be possible to try and find James Alfreds parents, who we think is a William henry Biggs also of the above places.
St Andrews is the parsih church for Bebington and would love to try and find the siblings of Arthur and his wife Ellen biggs, from what i can find out they were all born in Bebington Cheshire, St Andrews Parish. Although i don't have a marriage cert for Arthur and Ellen, which i think took place at Toxtith Liverpool, their children were all born in Bebington.
hope someone can help and that this is not confusing!
Many thanks

Alli,
This sounds like my W H biggs doesn't it? and it gives his occ as a candle maker labourer and on the 1891 cen W H Biggs is a Candle maker.. umm I think you are right it does look like him Alli.
So now i don't suppose we could find his parents then, if he is with boarders on this census, agh.. shame.
Alli, his wife Hannah, who i think could be Hannah Archer, according to the census was born bebington cheshire 1843 wonder if we could find her with her parents before she married William Henry, which must have been around 1800-1869 at Bebington cheshire
Thank you

;) you never say never do you?
Alli, this looks like my William Henry and his sibling joseph, ooohh...
I notice the place is Bebington which doesn't surprise me at all because as far as this old rellie can rmember back, they have always belonged there. Now then, i wonder if my W H and brother joseph were the playmates of the lad that lived at that address, aged the same age as W. H biggs? Just a thought if so, you'd think W H boggs family wouldn't be far away would you? Or is that my wishful thinking...
Alli, you haven't came across any marriage for Willian Henry and Hannah archer have you? Would have been about 18 60-1869 and in Bebington.
Just tell me when your sick of me please and i'll go away,hahahahahaa.
Thanks so much Alli

Alli, Can we please do a 1901 census check for James Alfred Biggs b. 1868 Bebington Cheshire (son of William henry Biggs and Hannah Archer) and his wife Harriet Hughes please.
James Alfred Biggs married 1891 Trnamere and i was wondering if we could get the 1901 cen for him and Harriet.
also i found a death fro a Harriet Biggs for 1894 at tranmere aged just 28yrs, i think this is my harriet. So the 1901 cen would prove if James Alfred is a widow or if he has remarried.
Thanks Alli.

Well Alli u r a brilliant person u are really because this is them!
I know from what that old lady said, john Dobbie was b. Scotland, his wife was b. Wales but that it was never talked abt her coming from Wales they always told people Liverpool!
This old lady thinks she can remember the surname of gibbons or Gutton from Wales!
Ellen Dobbie had sister's Jane, elizabeth and she thinks Primrose! Brothers William, Bob( Robert) Jack (John).
So this seems like our family
Ooooh Alli u star.

Oh Alli, that brother Bob ( Robert Dobbie) of Ellens, he married in Liverpool and never divorced and went to Australia, she thinks Yarrowville Melbourne and married and lived there!

Alli, r we able to look for a marriage from the Glasgow area?
Because we know John Dobbie married Jan? and they were both from Glasgow. Jane was b. 1839 and john 1836 so the marriage must have been about 1850s...
what do u think Alli?
sam-ann
-
how frustrating cannot find john and elizabeth dobbie with daughter judith on the 1881 or the 1991 they must be there somewhere :-\
-
unfortunately i dont have access to scottish marriages but iam sure if you post a request on the scottish board someone might be able to help.
so to put all the info together you are looking for a marriage of john dobbie and jane ? sometime before 1857 as that is when john jnr was born .judging by john snrs age we could be looking at between 1853 and 1857.
hope this helps some?

Alli,
On the 1871 cen for john / Jane Dobbie it states their daug as Ellen aged 22yrs! Would that be correct when John and Jane are both in their 30s.. or is it me reading this the wrong way!

From the message I left on your request here...
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,188611.msg924403.html#msg924403

nice one daisy ill look now :)

is that the corrct source info for 1891??
RG9 is usually 1861 1891 is RG12
-
i agree with 1881 and as it is star street i would say that this family is definately yours.
now lets look at 1891 ;D
-
although the 1891 cencus does not state dobbie and doesnt evan look much like dobbie looking at the family i would still say that it is the correct family.if we can confirm with a birth for a john dobbie c 1878 and the same with the others i would say we were on to a winner
regards
alli
p.s well sone daisy ;D

I agree to, they are the family, but wonder what Nulte means?...
Alli would you check that 1871 cen for me please? For John and JANE Dobbie i'm wondering if i got it right as it says thier daug Ellen is 22 and her parents john and Jane are 33 and 35!
Thanks Alli
Sam-Ann
-
Whoops! sorry Alli, of course it should have been RG12.
I don't think it says Nulte on the image of the 1881 census, it's just transcribed as that, to me it looks like Lutle or Litle, maybe the enumerator couldn't read the original or maybe Judith was nicknamed Little :-\ ;D

I'm a bit lost :) why are we looking for Elizabeth GIBBONS b.1859 in Wales? All the censuses we have so far show her POB as Liverpool ???
Daisy
-
Daisy, according to this old lady i got this info from, she remembers Elizabeth being born in Wales, well been talked about being born in Wales! It was said she never talked used Wales as her birth place always used Liverpool.
I have checked with Freebmd for her birth in Liverpool and nothing but... there was one Elizabeth Gibbons born 1859 Flintshire Wales... could this be her?
According to this old dear this elizabeth she thinks was adopted but when and where this falls into place i don't know
thanks Daisy
Sam-Ann
-
You beat me to it Daisy ;D
Sam Ann the I.G.I is easy to use you will be able to look for your Scots ancestors on there. If you want Census lookups for Wales/Scotland you need to put a request on the relevant board. not the Cheshire one. They are more likely to have access to the census you require.
Celia

Celia, i'm sorry. I'm not much good at this unlike Alli and you who are wonderful...
I will indeed give the IGI a look over and post the Gibbons on the Welsh board.
thank you again

with reference to ellen dobbies age in 1871 i have rechecked the image and the age is 11yrs not 22 .i can only apologise and say it must have been a blonde moment..... ;D

I see you've foud an Elizabeth GIBBONS in Flintshire here,
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,188872.msg926146.html#msg926146
but I wonder, if she was adopted her birth may not have been registered as GIBBONS, there is this Elizabeth in Liverpool 1871,

William GIBBONS 44 Carter
Judith 50
William 16 Labourer

I only really mention this one because of the mother's name Judith, it really is just a long shot. If you get the marriage cert. for John & Elizabeth hopefully it will give more clues :)

EEH DAISY, THIS REMINDS ME OF WORKING WITH MY SISTER... iTS SO MUCH EASEIER WITH SOMEONE TO TALK TO!
Well i'm only going off what my sister-in-law told me that i'm doing this for, but when i looked i couldn;t find Elizabeth G in Liverpool! well told u i am rubbish at this...ahahaha. What you have just sent me looks more than pleasing becaue the Dobbie family were in that same area! So that would make more sence.
Daisy we have a lot in commom with these names don't we. hahahaha
Loads of thanks
Sam-Ann
-
Daisy, thats the Elizabeth i found to in flintshire, which made me think she was born there you see.
the court house area of Liverpoool is where the Dobbies where at on some records so the plot is thickening. I will tell Christine and she will get the cert and then we can go further back.
The Elizabeth and william Dobbie info-BRILLAINT ! just poor genius..
Cheers
Daisy
-
Daisy just ME again!
I've sat and looked at this info you sent, by gum your right i think.Yes, the Judtih is a good connection with Elizabeths daug of the same name also William her father is the same as her son's name..
I think your right AND i think my sister-in-law maybe on about another g grandmother possibly the ANN who married John Hughes, as John was born flintshire Wales and i don't have a marriage as yet for him and Ann. I think it could be these that the Welsh bit ites in with as for the adoption.... we'll see
Thanks Daisy THANK YOU
Sam-Ann

Let us know when you get the marriage cert. it will be interesting to see if it helps show the 1871 family is the right one or not. This may not be her at all, or she could have been adopted by William & Judith GIBBONS :-\ :)
What tangled webs they weaved ;D

I too am researching my Biggs family......William Henry Biggs is my husbands great grandfather. His wife Hannah Archer. I have sources for them. William Henrys father and mother as on his birth registration are William Biggs and Ann Jones. I am stonewalled at this point. There are some family trees out there with info but seem to have 2 families joined together and no sources. Villages mentioned in records are Bebington, Chester, Wirral, (Lancashire)to Buckinghamshire to Old Dustin (in later years). Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. :) thank you, L. Biggs
