Warwickshire Completed Lookup Requests / 1911 lookup Harris please

« on: Tuesday 01 May 12 20:04 BST (UK) »

Hi
Would some kind soul lookup my great grandfather in 1911 please. He was called Howard Holland Harris and was born in Erdington, Birmingham in the mid 1880s. In 1901 he was living at home still with parents Robert Atkins Harris and Clara Harris. I know that he married in 1917 in the Birmingham area.

I just wondered what he was doing in the meantime in his mid 20s!
Like his father he was an engraver on gold in the jewelry trade.

Thanks for any help
Wayne

Warwickshire Lookup Requests / Look up marriage Warwickshire please

« on: Monday 13 February 12 20:26 GMT (UK) »

Hi
I'm looking for a marriage certificate between a Howard Holland Harris and an Emma Bourne (there's an outside chance she might be down as Emma Hill but Bourne is more likely.)

The marriage almost certainly took place in Warwickshire most probably between the years of 1916 and early 1919. Probably later than earlier. Either the marriage details or even a year and a quarter would be great.

Thank you very much
Wayne

Northumberland Lookup Requests / Allan 1901 lookup please

« on: Tuesday 21 April 09 16:10 BST (UK) »

A bit tricky this one. $:-\$
I am looking for a William Allan who was old enough to have fought in the first world war. He was possibly born about 1890. He was from a shipbuilding family, or at least he was a ship builder when he was older. He had a sister called Annabelle or Hannahbelle and at some point he lived in the Saltburn/ Middlesbrough area. Maybe he was born around that area too. As I say it is a difficult call but any help from the 1891, 1901 or even 1911 census would be brilliant.
Thanks for any help

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Scammonden Huddersfield please

« on: Wednesday 31 December 08 12:13 GMT (UK) »

Hi all & Happy New Year,
I am trying to research previous occupants of my house, which used to be a pub up until the war. It was known as the Shoulder of Mutton although in the 1881 census it is just down as "Hey"
I only have the 1881 census info to go on and although I know that it isn't possible to search the census by address hopefully some occupants will remain constant (it is a remote area!)
1881 we have:
Matilda Crabtree widowed bRishworth 1814 Publican & farmer. (She dies in 1896)
Martha A Crabtree, daughter of above b1844 Scammonden Dressmaker.( I think she dies 1912 or 1913 in Huddersfield if she doesn't marry)
Elizabeth Crabtree daughter b1852 Scammonden Dressmaker
David Tweed b1864 Scammonden, grandson to Matilda. Cart Driver.

Next door live John and Martha Crabtree b1857 and 1855 both born in Scammonden. He is a woollen weaver but I believe they have links to the house too. They have 2 sons George 1875 and Ernest b1879.

Any help on the 1861 , 71 91 or 1901 census would be brilliant. The pub may be down as Hey or the Shoulder of Mutton. Help much appreciated,
Thanks, Wayne

Worcestershire Lookup Requests / Lookup please Cotterall 1861

« on: Tuesday 16 September 08 20:20 BST (UK) »

Hi,
I'm looking for an Isabella Cotteral/Cottrill (spelling may vary) in 1861 please. She was with the Ralph family in 1871 as a visitor, but I suspect that as the head of the household's first wife's maiden name was Cottrill then she may actually be a relation. If the 1871 info is correct then Isabella Cotterall was born in 1856/7 in Bellbroughton, Worcestershire. Thanks for any help

Warwickshire Lookup Requests / Harris Birmingham 1871 please

« on: Saturday 15 September 07 23:49 BST (UK) »

I'm looking for an Ada Harris, born Leominster in 1858. She could be anywhere as her parents died but my best bet would be B'ham.

She had an older aunt called Jane (born 1831) but who has probably married, or could be with uncles Robert or Richard Harris in Leominster.

She had 2 sisters on the 1861 census, Marian born 1853 and Lucy 1861, but they too could be dead or married.

Altermatively she could be with her mother's side which were called Watkins.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks
Wayne
