Completed Census Requests / Re:stuck - any help appreciated
« on: Tuesday 27 April 04 10:56 BST (UK)  »
Hi! Since it looks as though Robert and Sarah had a daughter Sarah bpt at Manchester in 1851 (IGI) why don't you see if someone can look in the 1851 census for you?

Completed Census Requests / Re:1861 census REQUEST staffordshire
« on: Monday 26 April 04 16:24 BST (UK)  »
Hi. First let me explain that I have the 1861 as scanned images and the index, such as it is, claims to have Sedgley on Piece 2046. This is true. BUT Sedgley is also on Pieces 2047 to 2053!!! Not very helpful  >:(

So far I have looked down the names on pieces 2046 to 2050 and found the following entry.

RG9-2050,folio 70 (or 71,depending how you count).
Parish:Sedgley   Village of Coseley   Ecc District:Coseley

37 Abigail Lane
Joseph Cook,head,widower,44,coal miner,Sedgley,Staffs
Sarah Cook,mother,widow,63,Sedgley,Staffs
Frederick Cook,nephew,un m,19,forge man,Sedgley,Staffs
Pamela Cook,neice,un m,16,Sedgley,Staffs
Elijah Cook,nephew,9,scholar,Sedgley,Staffs

Maybe you could let me know if this fits with what you have so far. I'm not sure about the name Pamela but don't see what else it can be! It might be worth asking for second opinion from someone.
If you don't fancy this entry at all then I'll finish looking at the other Pieces but right now I'm off to do some gardening while the sun shines! :)

Census and Resource Discussion / Re:NOT a lookup, couple of questions though.

Thanks for your reply. The light is dawning a bit here, so the topics at the top labelled "sticky" are the ones that have not been answered - I wondered what sticky meant! Good system.

I just put in Daisy as first name, plus age limits, sex and place of birth - all of which you had! Good thing she wasn't called Ann  ;D

Census and Resource Discussion / NOT a lookup, couple of questions though.
« on: Saturday 24 April 04 12:39 BST (UK)  »
Hi. Sorry if this should be posted elsewhere, please move it if so.
I am just wondering if it is best to have all the census lookups together. Say, for the sake of arguement, that I could do lookups for Worcestershire. At the moment there are only 2 pages of posting for that county but 31 for census lookups. So if I wanted to look through every now and then to see if I could help I would have to scan several pages trying to pick out the Worcestershire ones. Would it be possible to allow postings to both county and census? Or may be split the census lookup pages into counties plus a general page? Too complicated?
Also, if a request is not answered is there a set period of time before a repeat posting can be made on the same subject?
I think this site is doing a great job with a fast turn round of answers. Thanks.

Staffordshire / Re:Westwoods from West Bromwich
« on: Monday 19 April 04 09:40 BST (UK)  »
Morning!
If you like to search the 1901 census on http://www.census.pro.gov.uk/ you will find that there are only 3 Timothy Westwoods in England under 40. One of them is aged 31 with son Timothy it seems aged 1, born and living around West Bromwich. This could well be the family of your grandfather. If you pay to see the image there may be more children plus Timothy's wife.
Do you know your grandfather's mother? If not you could try finding his birth certificate at http://freebmd.rootsweb.com There is one Frank Westwood registered in the right quarter but at West Bromwich rather than Walsall. If you want to buy it you can stipulate that you only want a son of Timothy so you get the right certificate.
Free BMD also have  a marriage for Timothy Westwood, March qtr 1896, West Brom again, to either a Emma Simcox or Elizabeth Tyrrell.
You should also look at the 1881 census at http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=census/search_census.asp
There are only 3 Timothy Westwoods listed. Good to have a rare name!
Hope this helps.
