*Completed* 1901 Look-up please GUY

[Ssxy]

I would appreciate someone looking up the household details for Lilian Guy b 1898 Leigh, whose father was James.

I have all the ancestors of Lilian May Guy, bc 1895,  Hindley (father John) through censuses back to 1841, but it is the wrong family!

Regards, Ssxy.

Hi Tati,

Thank you very much for that.

Do you think James's birthplace is Altcar? 1881 census (from FamilySearch) has a James b Alcar (sic), who apart from perhaps having a different wife, seems to be the same man.

I will have to look at the "originals" next week. 

Kind regards, Ssxy.

[Tati]

Yes, could well be Altcar (sorry!)

1891

Do you want the earlier censuses for James?

[Ssxy]

Hi Tati,

Thanks again, and yes I would appreciate further censuses if you don't mind. I use Ancestry Library, but can't get out for a few days, so any additional information would set me up for the weekend! 

I only got Lilian's father's name today from her Marriage registration which came through the post, so it's set me off on this new branch.

Kind regards, Ssxy.
