William Marsden Cotton

[whiteroselass]

Please could someone look up William Marsden Cotton on the 1901 census for me.
His dob is c1867 his wife is Margaret (Woodhead) dob c1873
I believe they were living in Hensall but could be Little Heck or Great Heck.

Thanks for you help.

Hi

I have asked the moderator to move your message to the North Yorkshire board

Where were they both born as I can't see a William Marsden Cotton birth on freebmd 1865-1869

Hi,

Whilst it is being moved I have found them eventually transcribed as Catton:

Little Heck ( no other address)

Wm M Cotton, Head, M, 33, Yard Man on farm, Yorkshire Gowdall
Maggie, Wife, M, 28, Yorkshire Burn
Jno Wm, Son, S, 10, Hensall
Harriet, Daur, 8, Little Heck
Mary A, Daur, 7, Little Heck
Ern Geo, Son, 6, Little Heck
FRED, Son, 4, Little Heck
Alec, Son, 1, Hensall

RG13/4295 Folio 37 page 14

Thanks to you both, I have had problems finding my Grandfather Fred Cotton's birth on Free BMD ( he is the 4 yr old on the 1901 census) maybe I need to look under Catton there too.

Spot on again Ta.

Hi,

I rather think Fred`s birth is this one as they had six weeks to register a birth so he could have been born end of February or March even:

Fred Cotton, April, May, June Qtr 1897 Pontefract Volume 9c page 113.

Pontefract registration district covered Heck.

By the way, you said in a previous post (photo board) that Fred died in 1975, yet I have failed to find his death for that year   This would have given you his actual date of birth.  Can you confirm that is was the correct year?

Regards,
Mo
