Hi All :)

I wonder if some  kind soul could do me a look up on the 1901 census, I am compleatly new to this hobby and just wanted a starting point,

The person in question is my grandfather, all I know was he was married in the Atcham district in June 1898 to a Susan Morris, I would love to know where he came from,

Brenda P :) :)

Welcome to RootsChat Brenda  :)

What was his full name? Any idea whether they had children by 1901?

Hello Brenda,

Welcome to RootsChat

I'm sure many of us will be willing to help you.

You forgot to post your grandfather's forename -  am assuming from the marriage reg it is herbert- if so, this looks a strong possibility for him

There are a couple of possibles on 1891.

getting his marriage cert would give his father's name and therefore help confirm which family is his., rather than go for the "most likely" but in reality find you may have an impressive family tree, but it is not actually yours!
Edmonds/Edmunds - mainly Sussex
DeBoo - London
Green - Suffolk
Parker - Sussex
Kemp - Essex
Farrington - Essex
Boniface - West Sussex

So there are 2 possible Herbert Francis', one born ca. 1871 in Clun registration district and one born late 1872 in Condover (Atcham registration district)

I'm quite confident he's the one from Condover, Liz  :)

4 rooms occupied

Herbert, son, 18, Farmer son, b. Condover

http://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=uki1881&indiv=try&h=18282643

And now look where the parents live in 1871  8)
