hi

I have an ancestor called Ellen Molyneux Roberts at birth.  I have found her birth in 1875 and on her baptism record (1876) her parents are Thomas Roberts and Ann Roberts.

I have found them in the 1881 census where Ellen is 5 and with two younger siblings William and Thomas. (piece 3644, folio 88, page 44)

I can also find Ellen in the 1911 census as she marries John James Howard in 1903.

I am struggling from here.  I cannot locate her in 1891 and 1901.  There is a servant in 1891 age 15 called Ellen Roberts but I would never know if this was her.

More importantly and to get to the point...... I can't get any further with her parents Thomas and Sarah.  In the Liverpool area there are lots of Thomas Roberts marrying someone called Ann.  I suppose the way forward is to order the birth cert for Ellen?

Any help appreciated in taking this line further back than I have here

Many thanks

This is what I had thought!

It is the correct Ida, as she married John Fothergill, which is info I have been told so thank you for that.  That’s my Nana’s eldest sister! (Half sister)

Thankyou all did the help

i did not know this - thank you

Hi
I have found what I think are my ancestors on the 1911 census:
William McPherson and Jessie Lupton (I know this is the maiden name from my nana's birth certificate, these are her parents)
I cannot find a marriage of William and Jessie ( It is possible they were not married )

I have been told that my nana had an older sister born in 1906 called Ida (father unknown), I have not corroborated this yet as a fact.  And she is not here on the census.

I just wondered if anyone more experienced may be able to find a marriage if there was one.

Many thanks


Edited to add:
They had their daughter Jenny McPherson born Dec 1913 in Rusholme, South Manchester (my nana)

The 1911 census has them in Manchester.

On the 1901 census I have found Jessie Lupton age 14 with her family in Gorton, Lancashire

Go to Advanced search, click on Church records, click on baptisms, enter the surname Hutton, the first name Jean and the year 1848.

Her name is Hutton, not Hulton.

For future use, when you enter a name, there is a button at the side of it giving options. If you click on the second option "fuzzy", it brings up alternatives. If you had entered "Hulton" with the fuzzy option, it would probably have brought up Hutton too.

Ancestry has mistranscribed the name. It's Hutton, not Hulton.

Thankyou so much - I have found this now
