Just thought would b well worth a 1891 census request for James.  Since he married Eliza later in 91 I would expect he is a widower and will let u know if the children r with him.  ;D
All the best

just a bit more  ;)

here is Omelias death...marriage not on Free BMD

Omelia Atkinson Rycroft died mar 1/4 1890 Caistor  7a 468 age 37 years

age doesnt quite correspond with census but this looks like Elizas birth

Eliza Frances Fellows born Hull Jun 1/4 1859 9d 203

Cant find her on 81 census worth a lookup in 1891 also.
Good luck with it all anyway

Hi Nola,

Rycroft - my most troublesome brickwall!!!

I have a lone Henrietta Ryecroft ancestor sitting in Lochmaben, Dumfriesshire  bn ~1787 died between 1841-51.  She is my 5xgreat grandmother and I have nothing, absolutely nothing on her except that she had a mammoth 11 kids.

If at any point in your research and you see a possible Scottish connection please please take pity on me and let me know.

Thanks,
Pam

Hi Nola  ;D

if you already have this by now - no problem! Ifound this on the 1891 census.
There is a bit of a difference in the place of birth of the older children... I believe there is a Deptford in Greater London.
