Armed Forces / 1921 Census
« on: Thursday 13 January 22 13:31 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

I've been researching my husbands tree.  His grandfather Arthur Beckett was born in 1904 in Leicester.  I've found him on the 1911 census (with his mother's maiden name as surname), and on the 39 register.

I can't find him on the 1921 census but have found an Arthur Beckett but his birth year is 1901.  His address is York House, Wigston Magna, in the Army Infantry.  The census page has other soldiers on.  2 questions really, could he have lied about his age to get in the army and does anyone know what this York House was.  I'm probably barking up the wrong tree but any advice or info would be appreciated.

Thanks

Cumberland Lookup Requests / John Palmer
« on: Wednesday 20 October 21 09:23 BST (UK)  »
Hi I’m looking for any information about John Palmer, in 1911 he’s living in Liverpool but he was born in Hesketh in the Forest in Cumberland in 1858.  On other census it says Carlisle.  I can’t find his birth.  On his marriage certificate in Liverpool in 1886 to Ellen Blair it says his father is John Palmer and he was a farmer and is deceased.  Any information about his parents or where to look would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

« on: Wednesday 18 September 19 09:03 BST (UK)  »
Hi

My husbands grandparents are from Leicester and was wondering if anyone could see where they are buried.  I know from another of my posts on here someone very kindly let me know some of the family are in Gilroes.

His grandmother was Doris Beckett was Wragg.  On the ‘39 Register they are at 11 Worrall Close, she died in 1965 aged 65.  Her DOB 13/6/1899.

His grandfather was Arthur Beckett, he remarried a May Bedder, he died in 1987 aged 83.  DOB 25/5/1904.  Don’t know where he lived after Worrall Close.

Thanks in advance

Elaine

Hi, I’m researching my husbands side and I’ve got his grandfather Arthur Beckett, born 24 May 1904 to Arthur Osborne Beckett and Elizabeth Osborne.  The address on the birth certificate is 39 Russell Street, Leicester.  I ordered his grandfathers brothers cert  Willie 13/7/1901 and mother is Elizabeth Osborne and father Harry Beckett, address 48 Russell Street.  On Arthurs (1904) wedding certificate dated 1928 his father is Henry Beckett, deceased.  I’ve just ordered Henry’s birth certificate online to see if there’s any info on it.

I can’t find the family on the census at all, not sure if it’s been lost and can’t find Harry/Henry’s death, not sure if he could have been in WWI or moved abroad.

Hope you can understand this, I find all the different names confusing.

Thanks in advance

Leicestershire / Leicester Burial lookups
« on: Friday 02 November 18 19:47 GMT (UK)  »
Hi I'm wondering if anyone could help me with the burial of the following:

Arthur  Beckett b 1877 in Staffordshire died 1929 in Leicester.  On the directories in 1925 he was down at 38 Morley Road and I think he was a cab driver.

Also Arthur Beckett, 1904 in Leicester and I think he died in 1987 (but not sure about that one, sorry).

Doris Beckett 1899 and died 1965 in the 1939 register they are both living in 11 Worrall Close, Leicester.

Thanks in Advance

Hi, I’ve been searching my great grandfather on Ancestry. When I search it comes up with some WW1 records. His date of birth is 31.10.1869 born in Toxteth, Liverpool. His number is on the search is RASCM2 156565.  Is there anyone who would be able to tell me if it’s the same John Arthur McCartney, are DOB on military records.

Thanks in advance

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Death lookup please
« on: Monday 01 February 16 14:24 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

I'm looking for the death of my Great Grandfather.  His name was Vincent Collins born about 1867 in Douglas, Isle of Man to Michael Collins and Jane Simpson.  He married Elizabeth Fletcher in Liverpool.  He's on the 1901 census in Toxteth with Elizabeth.  When I look up the 1911 census, Elizabeth is there with their 3 daughters, one is Eva my grandmother, born 1905.  Elizabeth is down as widowed.  The only Vincent Collins death I can find is June 1912 aged 57 but that can't be him because if even if he had died in 1911 that would have made him 44. 

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance
