Hey there, my brother lives in a house on rainow road and I know it dates back to the 1880's. I'm interested in finding out who lived there in the census's only thing is i cant find the road on there!!
I've searched high and low as to whether rainow road was named something else but can't find anything. I've even gone through all the other roads census's around rainow road in hopes that it'll pop up somewhere.

Can anyone shed any light on this? it's considered higher hurdsfield but that doesn't help my search either

Hi there, I have been trying to find out who my great granddad is, I have no name or place/year of birth for him. I ordered my granddads birth cert and there's no name under father but the address is 53 Aylesford Road, Coventry.
I was hoping somebody would be able to help me find some sort of record as to who was living at this address with my granddad at his time of birth in 1946. His mother was Lily, so I'm only looking for a male.
If anyone can help me I'd be eternally grateful, I have been searching for years with no luck.

Thank you.

Hi, so I'm looking up my sister in laws family on ancestry and I've come across a problem. I have a Fred Knight who married a Margeret Nixon in 1949 in Sheffield. I've looked up his birth index and it says he was born in 1917, Sheffield, to a Barnsdall.
So i looked up a marriage between a knight and barnsdall and all i can find is a 1872 marriage, Frederick J Knight and Rhoda Barnsdall. The time difference is very off as, lets say she was 20 when they married, that would mean she was over 60 when having Fred, which obviously isn't possible. Theres also a Frank Knight that was born in 1913 i think, to the same mother.
Also if you look up these people in any of the census, you can't find them, the only Rhoda i can find is one born in 1882 which would make sense to having the children in 1913 and 1917 but why is the marriage shown in 1872.
Also the 1872 marriage is shown with information that is given on marriage indexes after 1915. so im quite confused and im hoping someone can help me.

Hi, i've been trying to find death indexes for Thomas Robinson and his wife Eleanor Mary.

Eleanor was born in 1847 in Frithville and i have her in census' untill 1891. Thomas was born in 1847 in Pinchbeck and i also have him up untill 1891. They got married in 1872. they had 3 children, thomas, charles and edith mary. He was a school master. Her maiden name was Ireland.

I've been searching for ages but can't find either of them. I also can't find their son, Thomas's, death index either.

Any help would be appreciated.

hello, my ancestor Gertrude Mary May, was born in Stoke Damerel, Devon in 1895.

When i try to research her on the 1901 census two gertrudes come up. one with parents william and elizabeth (this is not her i know this for certain) and a gertrude with father frederick and mother ellen. but she was born in 1898 so thats 3 years off. i have her marriage cert. to alfred bleasdale andrew in 1914 saying her father was called frederick william may, occupation chief engine room artificer and already deceased.
i've found a will index for a person with that name, died in 1905 in plymouth and left everything to his spouse ellen but when i look at the death index he was born in 1860. also on the 1901 census there are two other children, maud and john, but when i research both of them they can't be found.

i also can't find a marriage index for frederick william may to an ellen.

i would really appreciate it if someone could help me as it's been something i've spent alot of time on but with no outcome.
thanks in advance.
