Kent / William Harris of Deal
« on: Tuesday 23 April 24 21:10 BST (UK)  »
He was born 25 Aug 1881 (1939 Register),and the 1911 Deal census seems he was born in Eastry (Eastry written over Deal ?).I cannot find him in any earlier census or indeed his birth record.The earliest record I have found is his marriage in Deal to Millie Riley in 1906.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Leicestershire / Whattons in the 1851 census Leicester
« on: Saturday 23 December 23 07:04 GMT (UK)  »
In the 1841 census for Thurmaston Joseph and Mary are shown in the household of George and Sarah Felstead.
In the 1851 census for Leicester St Margaret they are in the same household,Joseph is described as son-in-law,mar,age 18.Mary Whatton is described as dau,mar,age 15.
This all seems very puzzling and unlikely as I am sure Mary Whatton married Joseph Rowe in 1853 (they later emigrated to the USA ).

Leicestershire / Henry Lockwood,1901 Census, Leicestershire.
« on: Monday 18 December 23 17:46 GMT (UK)  »
In the 1891 Census he is in Barrow on Soar,age 16,with his father William Lockwood.
In the 1911 Census he is still in Barrow on Soar,head of family living in Mill Lane.
I would appreciate any help in tracing him in the 1901 Census.
(There is a Harry but that is correctly transcribed).

« on: Sunday 27 March 22 19:20 BST (UK)  »
John Bilbe and his wife Sarah A appear as living in Bishopsgate with three children listed aged 4,3 and 1.Surprised to see the the same three children also appearing in his father Charles Bilbee and wife Mary entry in Tottenham.
Charles Bilbee occupation shown as BR.L. labourer,any ideas on this?

London and Middlesex / Marriage of John BILBE,1835-1885
« on: Thursday 24 March 22 11:01 GMT (UK)  »
I think the marriage was probably around 1860 or a year or two earlier.
The 1861 Census shows him in Bishopsgate age 25 born Tottenham,his wife being Sarah A Bilbe,also 25,born in Sussex Northiam,they have a 1 year old daughter.
(in later records she seems to have dropped the name Sarah,just calling herself Ann).
Would be most grateful for any information.

New Zealand Completed Requests / Thomas James BILBE, in New Zealand 1952-1956
« on: Saturday 19 March 22 18:09 GMT (UK)  »
I have found from online records that he emigrated from England and arrived in Wellington in 1952.In 1956 he returned to England leaving from Auckland.
On his outward voyage from Glasgow in 1952 there was a passenger "Mary Louise Fiveash".They must have married in New Zealand and I believe in 1954 Mary returned to England with a 1 year old son.
I would be very interested in details of their marriage,and the birth record,or any other details of their time in New Zealand.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Nottinghamshire / Joseph DOBB (or Dobbs).born 1863 Hucknall.
« on: Tuesday 07 April 20 20:12 BST (UK)  »
His father was Joseph Dobbs (1840-1886),and mother Sophia (nee Spencer),(1842-1909).
The last record I can find is the 1891 census for Hucknall where he is single and a bricklayer.
From family stories he emigrated and became a builder.
I thought I had solved it with a Joseph (same birth year) who married a Charlotte in Basford and emigrated to Richmond Virginia,also with both parents with the same names,but came from Derby !
I cannot seem to find any further records after 1891,nor the record of his birth in 1863.
I would greatly appreciate any further information.
