If you want to track these other people and get stuck, post what and who you are stuck with on the main Lancashire board and others will happily help.

If it helps, people could purchase the rights of burial in a grave, and the right to erect a gravestone if they wanted to.
They didn't own the land as such but could decide who was buried in the plot. The other people may have been relations but also could be friends/ neighbours they were close to.
I have a deed from a grave in Yew Tree, it was purchased in 1918 and says it grants rights of burial in the plot  'in perpetuity', and had to be produced if a further burial was to take place.

I am unsure if the same would apply to 1931 in Ford but do know that in more recent times civil cemeteries usually limit the time scale to x amount of years.

Find a Grave is a volunteer project, not all graves/burials will show on there they only appear if someone has submitted them.

Ford Cemetery section usage list can be seen here:

and that confirms that TW is a Private Section.

Census and Resource Discussion / Re: 1921 Census - Missing Households in Oldham
« on: Today at 11:30 »
Utter fail here, I've tried every trick I usually use, nationwide, for each child's first name and approx year of birth and scanned down the results looking for possible mistranscriptions.
I've tried similar searches specifying another person in the household or the children's orphanhood status  and still nothing.
I've even tried the Scotland 1921 census.
Sadly the enumerators schedule books (which we are used to seeing in pre 1911 census where the original forms were not retained)  were destroyed in a fire.
and the original schedules can't be checked at the N.A. as they only give access to the FindMyPast database and we can't order and see the originals.

IF the form was missed when they were scanned, then your only hope is that when FindMyPast's contract for exclusivity expires another company may scan them and they 'may' turn up.


Sorry

Durham Lookup Requests / Re: Philipson / Wailes Auckland area
« on: Yesterday at 18:07 »
Its likely but without having details from their marriage its still not definite.
You could try emailing the Durham Registrars and asking if they would check the record and confirm/ deny that the groom was a lead miner and his father was called William.
Some registrars will reply, some just tell you how to buy the cert to find out, but Shy Bairns get Nowt so its worth asking.
NB if they do reply, they will only tell you if its a match or not, they wont tell you any new info.

Just a thought, as the 1921 census was delayed and wasn't taken till 19th June, many people were on holiday. Perhaps the Mill had an annual shutdown week and they'd gone on holiday? Even if they'd only gone for a couple of days they may be listed elsewhere with relatives or in a boarding house at the seaside.

I've lost count of the number of mistranscription errors I have submitted since the 1921 census was released and I'm still doing it.

Though we can't give specifics from the 1921 census if you supply names and approx birth years ( and at least a county)we can have a look and perhaps advise what to use as search criteria?

If you are referring to this particular probate index

All England & Wales, National Probate Calendar (Index of Wills and Administrations), 1858-1995
 

So long as the text you read does not have the word ADMINISTRATION, then what you order (for £1.50 from https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/) will be a copy of the WILL the person made. So yes it will say who the beneficiaries are.   Which may or may not be interesting.

If it does have ADMINISTRATION in the text, it means there was no will. And while it could possibly be useful, it usually isn't, as you already know who applied for the administration from the Calendar)

Just in addition to this, sometimes, though rarely, the entry in the probate calendar may say 'Administration, with Will' in which case I assume a copy will is also provided from the Probate service.

Durham Lookup Requests / Re: Philipson / Wailes Auckland area

These are the transcripts of the census returns for the George Philipson born 1892 WInlaton/Spen that you asked about
1901
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XSCS-Q1H
1911
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XWHD-N5D
his occupation in 1911 was insurance clerk
there is a 'possible' marriage in Q2 1917, Stockton for him to Marie Lockwood
and if you check the 1921 census there is an entry that matches this man, for age, area he lived in, wife's name and his occupation

at that stage, my curiosity got the better of me and I got the birth record for the daughter Hannah born 1918

born 7 May 1918, Foundry Fields, Crook
Hannah, girl
father George Philipson, occ: Lead Miner (Foreman)
Informant George Philipson, father, Garden Terrace, Allenhead, Allendale, Northumberland
registered 25 May 1918

These census returns seem to be a better match for the husband of Hannah Wailes
1901 census
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XS98-9BT
1911 census
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XWMP-RXS

and this one was born c1888 in Allendale
deaths Q4 1918 Hexham George Philipson, age 31
so that is possible to match with Hannah being a widow in 1921
In order to be sure you would need the marriage cert for Hannah Wailes and George Philipson to see what his age was and his occupation  and his father's details.

Please could you tell us what documents you have to confirm that the George Phil(l)ipson who married Hannah Wailes was born in 1892, in Winlaton/Spen?
Maybe their marriage cert which would show his age, occupation and father's  name and occupation?
