William Smith 1891,1901 Look Up

[Dougalmac2]

William Smith is living with his married sister Elizabeth in the 1911 census. This gives his age 26 and birthplace Cotes Heath, Staffs., and makes his birth between April 1884 and April 1885. There are two William Smith births registered in Stone in this period (both William Thomas).
He is a previously unknown member of the family. His parents are William and Mary (nee Freakley) Smith.

Can anyone find him in 1891 or 1901 please. I have never found the family in 1891 and he is not with his parents in 1901.

Thanks in anticipation, Mac

Hello Mac,

just checking - are his parents in 1901 William H and Mary Smith at RG13; Piece: 2576; Folio: 122; Page: 9.

How old is Elizabeth and are there any other children born before 1891?

thanks

Hi Heywood

They are William H. and Mary.  I'm afraid I don't have the folio reference but I can say that they were at  2 Swynnerton Grange Cottages.

Yes I got those- I couldn't see them in 1891 and wondered which older children there were and their ages. Elizabeth ? yrs and William c 6 yrs.

Hi Heywood

William Henry and Mary were married 1881.

The siblings are :-

William b 1884/5 Cotes Heath
Elizabeth (christened Eliza) b 1887 Cotes Heath
George b 1890 Cotes Heath
Ada Annie b 1894 Stoke on Trent
Herbert b 1895 Trentham
Elsie b 1897 b Trentham

Until I saw the 1911 census I had no Knowledge of William and, I suppose, wondered if he was really a cousin or some such, but without accessing the PR's I have no proof either way.
