Hi, can anybody help?

I'm trying to trace a John Cartwright in the 1861 Census. He was born in Nantwich in 1837.

In 1851, he was living in Nantwich, Cheshire, aged 13 as an apprentice shoemaker. Then he disappears.

He turns up again, it seems,  in the 1871 Census,  living in East Wellhead, Heeley, Hallam, Sheffield, aged 32, as a boot and shoemaker. By this time, he was married to Sarah Ann, also aged 32. She was born in Sheffield.

Later censuses seem to place him in Northampton (1881), Liverpool (1891) and although he was deceased by this time, his family were in Wallasey in 1901. If it's one and the same person, I've no idea why he moved around such a lot.

In a sense, as he seemed to move around a lot (?) he could be virtually anywhere. However, neighbouring counties are as good a starting place as anywhere else. (I'm assuming that it's possible to search census returns coutywide??).


Anyway, if anyone could help, it would be really wonderful.

Thanks

But there's this really frustrating gap between 1851 and 1871.

If anyone could help it would be really wonderful.

Some info from the 1861 Census would help close down a 20 year gap, so it would be great if anyone could help.

Hi

I am trying to trace the present-day family of Sam Spencer, who was born in 1893 (died in France in 1953). His sister Eva (born 2 June 1908) was a nurse at the Dewsbury General Infirmary, Moorlands Road, Dewsbury, according to a copy of a letter she sent to Sam (22 May 1953), shortly before his death.

I don't know if she was married, had children, or whatever. If I could find a 1953 address for her, other than the hospital, it would be a start. I assume she retired around 1968. (Any leads here? But without a possible married name, it's difficult). I have photos of her, if anyone worked at the DRI at around the same time.

Does the Dewsbury Royal Infirmary still exist?

Can anyone help?


Thankyou


Neil
