Leeds/ Hunslet COMPLETED
« on: Sunday 01 June 08 17:59 BST (UK) »
Hello everyone, could somebody please help me ? I'm looking for John William Kirby born Hunslet and would be about 18/19 in 1891. I would appreciate any info on him & any family members living with him. All I know about him is that he was a basket maker in 1912 when he married aged 40.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Hello Hatsoff  :D   Welcome to Rootschat   ;D

Do you have his marriage certificate?  It sounds as if you might, knowing his occupation  :D   If so - can you tell us his father's name and occupation?

Hi and thanks for the fast replies. The father was called John Thomas Kirby and he was a Forgeman at the time of his sons wedding.
Hope this helps.
Thanks again.

Hi Jane, could you give me the details from 1901 as it sounds like my 'lot'.
