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 Pam,if I do come across a connection I will certainly let you know.

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.
