Frank Curtis 1891-1960

[lizdb]

Here are the details for anyone following this thread
(highly unlikely - even us who are really into it are not following it!!!)

1901

Shirley Park
Derbyshire

William Curtis  head 34 Gamekeeper bn Bessingham Norfolk
Anne wife 36 bn Berghill Whittington
James W 13 son bn "
Fredrick 12 bn Cottom Whichurch
Dora A 10 bn Norfolk Houghton
Frank 4 bn Finchley Avery Bridgeworth
William 3   "
Violet 1  "

well - it has all the criteria - a James with a dad called William who is a gamekeeper, and a younger brother called Frank!
Is this the JAmes who marries in 1908 in Bulwell age 21? Age spot on too!

What is more - this Frank would be of the right sort of age to have had a son (Granville or otherwise) around 1927 (though he could not have marrried Ethel Miller in 1904...)

BIG gold star for Carol!!! (I'll even let you off for not following my waffle!!!)

Now - a better contender for Grenville than the Welsh one I found before!! :

Grenville L Curtis
Ap/May/Jn 1928
Nottingham area
ref 7b 743
 mothers maiden name - Wilson

(1923-1930 has only 2 Grenville Curtis births, the Welsh one and this one)

Now - his birth cert should reveal his dad - hopefully Frank!

Then there is this marriage

Jan/Feb/MAr 1924
Frank H Curtis
to Jessie Wilson

Stokesley Yorkshire.

Another cert? to see if he has a dad William who is a gamekeeper?

Thanks Lizdb
I will follow up the birth certificate but It was definitely Ethel that was the wife of Frank My husbands remembers this.
