Census and Resource Discussion / Lancashire 1901

« on: Tuesday 11 July 06 20:11 BST (UK) »

Hi

I have a census name index for a family for 1901 from the s&n site, however when searching for them on Ancestry in order to view the original document I can't find them, the details are as follows:

Sykes Ben 57 Burnley East Ward 3861 96a
Sykes Jemima 47 " " " "
Sykes Jemima 20 " " " "
Sykes Ben 18 " " " "
Sykes John 15 " " " "

I have tried searching in various ways (with and without the piece number) without success. Any suggestions welcome.

Scotland / Where in Scotland is 'Dumfrost'?

« on: Monday 10 April 06 22:53 BST (UK) »

Hi

I hope someone can help, I have a 1841 transcription which gives the place of birth as 'Damfoot Scotland' or 'Dumfrost Scotland.

Can anyone suggest where this might be?

Thanks in anticipation

Staffordshire / Milford Staffs

« on: Sunday 24 April 05 13:13 BST (UK) »

Hi

I have a copy of 1851 census for the family of William Evans, the township is Milford, Walton and Baswich.

Could someone please confirm which register office would cover that area. I have sent for a certificate to Walsall for a Josiah Evans (who was the child of William) but it's not the right one.

Should I be checking out somewhere different to Walsall?

Thanks in anticipation

The photographs were taken by photographers in Sheffield, Southport, Manchester and Derbyshire

One photo has the inscription:

Hi

I was wondering if it is likely for a working class couple to have divorced around 1880?

I would guess that it would have been expensive compared to their income.

If they didn't divorce I am probably looking for a widow or a bigamist!

I'm sure someone out there can advise me.

Thanks

Hunter
