Antrim / George shakespeare born 1854/55 Belfast

« on: Friday 09 December 22 00:48 GMT (UK) »

Hi trying to find a birth for a George Shakespeare born 1854/ 55 supposedly Belfast.
So far i have come across UK records with his birth in East Indies 1871 census, Coventry, Bedworth and Belfast. He was living and died in Derbyshire. I have his two marriages and children. On his marriage certificate to Sarah Ellen Harvey in 1904 he states father as William deceased. I know lots of Irish records got destroyed and its a long shot but if anyone has any info, that would be great.
PS George was in the Marines but even told lies about that.

Lanarkshire / Electoral rolls for around 1935

« on: Thursday 10 November 22 20:45 GMT (UK) »

Can anyone tell me if there are any electoral rolls for around 1935 for Glasgow. I know the person and the address, they are now deceased, but I'm trying to find any other relatives. The person was Annie Allison and she lived at 62 John Knox road Glasgow in 1935 but there are a few coming up on Scotland's people so not sure if it's the right one.
Any help appreciated.

Hi trying to find info on John cameron Smith who lived in Glasgow, he married Annie Stevenson Wright around 1930 ish and had a son James Wright Smith born Glasgow 1930. All are passed away now.
I have been on Scotlands people trying to find if they had anymore children but its an impossible task as you cannot put parents names in like you can on Ancestry etc. Is there any other sites that i could look on to find any info.

« on: Thursday 06 October 22 22:09 BST (UK) »

Hi this one is a long shot. Looking for a Joyce Louisa Brown b 1924 Ashbourne Derbyshire.
Don't know who she married but we do know she owned the Niarbyl bay cafe in the Isle of Man many years ago. The present owner has been there 30yrs and doesn't know the previous owners. Not sure if Joyce married or died in the Isle of Man. Any info would be gratefully appreciated.

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Charles Sutcliffe marriage

« on: Saturday 01 October 22 09:53 BST (UK) »

Hi looking for a marriage between a Charles Samuel Sutcliffe b 1851/52 Leeds and Annie Maria Taylor b 1856 Wakefield. Parents are Charles and Isabella Sutcliffe.
On the 1861 census Charles is living in Wakefield with parents.
On the 1891 census Charles and Annie M are living in Hook Goole with their children, the oldest one being William b 1877 Wakefield. I've looked at the children's births and mother's name is Taylor but I cannot find any marriage between a Sutcliffe and Taylor. I wondered if she had been married previously but I am having no luck there.
Any info appreciated.

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Arthur Collins b1880 Doncaster, help needed to untangle this mess

« on: Tuesday 20 September 22 14:10 BST (UK) »

Arthur Collins b Doncaster 1880 married Sarah Caroline Patching Doncaster 1902.
Arthurs birth gives mms as Harris. On the1871, 1881,1891,1901 censuses he is with parents Harry / Henry
and mother Emma. His mother is down as born Braintree Essex on all the censuses. This is where the confusion starts. On the 1881 his father is Harry b 1849 Brighton Kent England ? On the 1891 father is Henry b1861 looks like Halesham , birth could be a misprint. on the 1901 he is Harry b1850 Sussex , they are all living in Doncaster on all the above censuses apart from 1871 when they were in Poplar London Middlesex.
The only marriage i can find between a Emma Harris and a Collins is in1867 Islington to Henry Albert Collins . I cannot find a birth for Henry / Harry that fits in with the birth year or place.
I cannot go any further as i am not sure when he was born. I have looked at trees on Ancestry and they confuse me more as they have different names down. I feel as though i have lost the plot.

Nottinghamshire / William Wilkinson & Elizabeth Smith marriage

« on: Wednesday 14 September 22 13:11 BST (UK) »

I have a James William Wilkinson b 1873 East Retford MMS Smith. On the 1891 census he is with parents William & Elizabeth nee Smith living in Canal Row East Retford. He married after this to Lydia Saxilby but I cannot find him in the 1881 census before marriage.
Also the only marriage I can find for a William Wilkinson and Elizabeth Smith is in 1874 in East Retford. Elizabeth is from Lincoln and William from Nottingham. Again the 1881 census is a puzzle. I found a William and Elizabeth in 1881 in Canal Row but Elizabeth is down as born Tuxford Notts. On the 1871 census they appear with a daughter Margaret b 1871 living in Sutton's row East Retford but I am not sure if it's them. Also on the marriage for William and Elizabeth it said his father was Stephen, but on his birth it says MMS is Bennett, again no marriage for any two people of those names. Any info much appreciated

Derbyshire / Julia Vickers b 1857 Derbyshire , marriage & death

« on: Thursday 08 September 22 15:28 BST (UK) »

Hi looking for info on Julia Vickers born Derbyshire 1857 to Charles Gibson Vickers & Mary Goodlad. Julia had a child out of wedlock in 1874 Fred Vickers. She has appeared in every census upto and including 1871.
In the 1881 census she is visiting her parents at Whites farm Wortley but is under the name of Julia Robson, also there is a Charles Robson with her visiting, born Newcastle 1878 and is down as Charles and Mary's grandson along with Fred her illegitimate son.
I have looked everywhere for a Robson marriage but no luck. Also cannot find Charles birth with mother as Vickers. She seems to have disappeared after the 1881 census.
I appreciate any info
