I'm also looking for it on 1891, 1881, 1871, 1861, 1851 and 1841... etc

But thought it best to start with the 1901 census 

Hi,

Have only just seen these 'new' replies!

Elizabeth's parents were Ellen Denton and George Dunsdon, but her grandparents were indeed James Dunsdon and Elizabeth Bedwell.

Am currently trying to find (with some difficulty) whether either Agnes or James had a son before the marriage or shortly afterwards.

Thanks for the info - lets hope it turns out to be the family I'm looking for.

Thanks,
Danni

Hi,

Am really struggling to find any info on the following person.  His name is Joseph Twigg-Balmer.  I do not know where or when he was born, but here's the info I do have.

My great-grandmother Elizabeth Dunsdon (born c 1885, Steventon, Berks) married Victor Weeden (c 1892, Ramsgate, Kent, England) in December 1912 in Thanet.  They had a daughter Margaret M Weeden, born c 1912, Thanet and also a son Anthony Claude Weeden, born c 28 December 1915, St Pancras.

I do not know what happened to Victor as I am yet to find a death.

I then believe she married a man called Joseph Twigg-Balmer.  I know that they had my grandmother Kathleen Betty Twigg-Balmer (I have her birth cert, and although Elizabeth's maiden is down as Dunsdon, not Weeden she is named as Elizabeth Twigg-Balmer and Kathleen's father is down as Joseph Twigg-Balmer).  She was born on 23rd Jan 1919, 6 Fairmead Road.

Again, not sure when Joseph Twigg-Balmer died, but Elizabeth went on to marry Henry Thomas Brent (c1867, Bermondsey) on 24 January 1923 in Hackney.  I understand that Henry was friends with Joseph and that he married Elizabeth to take her of her once Joseph had died.  Henry also adopted Anthony Claude Weeden and Kathleen Betty Twigg-Balmer, so they became Brents.

Here's the info from Kathleen's birth cert:

Father's occupation - mining engineer, of West lodge, Barnsbury Square, Islington

I cannot find any info on the Twigg-Balmers.  I know it doesn't help as I don't know much about Joseph, but any info that people can help me with would be greatly appreciated.

Any advice on what to do next or where to and what to look for would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,
Danni 

Thanks for that 

I should be able to use that info to find out about her father - getting the marriage cert I mean.

As she was married before the 1841 census trying to find anything about them on that looks unlikely.

Thanks again for all your help

Thanks for this 

I guess the only info I'd like to try and extend on this family would be on Sarah Sidebottom, but unfortunately as she was born in c1811 (Thorpe Hesley, Yorkshire) and married to Matthew Rodgers by c1834 that's not looking likely!

Thanks for your help and for being so kind and giving me lots of info to work with.  It's greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,
Danni
