1891/1901 census CHAMBERS family- COMPLETED

[renee1981]

Hi all,

I am looking for any information on the CHAMBERS family from greasley, nottingham. I know that there are at least 2 James CHAMBERS, one with the date of birth 30.06.1892, the other (his grandfather) unknown.

I am new so I hope I have done this correctly.

Thank you in advance for any help.

(it llooks like Elizabeth (wife of james ) was b selston area - and not James - think the enumerator must have made a mistake in 1881

Wow suz thanks for the quick response this is what i am looking for thank you.

However I was told James' mother was Mary Christian (no DOB) and that Edward and Mary were married 15.08.1891, although I dont know where this information came from  , I was also told there was a sister of James called Alice

there may be a sister Alice -born after 1901 - I'll see what i can find

it is quite possible edward was married previously and then remarried maybe between mary Elizabeth and Emma frances

I'll do a bit of digging
