This has got my head hurting. Been looking for on and off three weeks and tried every combination I can think of.
Samuel Hartell born in Sedgley, Staffordshire in 1863. Shown on the 1901 and 1911 Census living at 66 Lamb Lane, Manchester. Married to an Esther. Esther was born in 1863 in Manchester according to the Census. On the 1911 Census still at 66 Lamb Lane, Manchester but the head of the household is shown as Henry Copperwaite (Wid). Samuel is shown as his Son in law and Esther as the daughter of Henry Copperwaite (68).
On the 1911 Census their youngest daughter Frances (who was known in later years as Frances) was shown as Fanny. Dont know if this is a red herring because Henry Copperwaits wife was called Fanny.
I cant find Esther as an Esther Copperswaite any where. I cannot find a marriage for Samuel Hartell anywhere.
Samuel and Esther's eldest child Elizabeth was born during the December quarter of 1898 within the district of Prestwich, Lancashire.
Can you please help me find the marriage of Samuel and Esther which hopefull will lead us to the family of Esther and her maiden name.
