Title: Henry Lofts
Post by: Karvan on Monday 19 April 21 19:20 BST (UK)
Hello
I'm searching for Henry Lofts.  I don't know his birth details but I know his son was named Henry too and he was born in Bristol on 9th Sept 1871. This information was on the 1901 and 1911 census along with the 1939 register.  On the parish register Henry Jnrs marriage to Jessie Spriggs in 1895 give Henry senior as deceased and was a sailor.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks

Is it possible that he was born to one of the daughters of this family in Clifton,
Bristol  and his father on his marriage is invented.

William Henry lofts born Clifton 1871

Please do not duplicate requests, it is unfair for two groups of folk doing the same research not aware that results may have been posted on another thread that they know nothing about.
