Complete Joseph Telfer 1901 census look up please
« on: Thursday 21 July 11 20:23 BST (UK) »
Hi

a kind R/Chatter did a 1901 census lookup for me earlier for a different Joseph Telfer and that lookup has led me to needing another 1901 lookup. Joseph Telfer b1898 Holywood,Dumfries is the Grandson of the previous Joseph I was looking for. I am trying to find out who Joseph Telfer b1898 was living with in 1901 as his mother Mary Telfer in 1901 was living with her parents Joseph and Elizabeth Telfer in Holywood, Dumfries with no mention of her son being there. I had a look on ancestry (I have no sub)and looks likley Joseph is living in Kirkcudbright but who with ? All help appreciated with thanks.

Fiona

Hi wozzle :)

Thank you so much for the look up. Looks like Joseph was only visiting the Kerrs, I thought his mum had given him up as he was illigitimate. Yes wozzle the Agnes Kerr must be his aunt. Great stuff this helps fill another part of the tree. again much appreciated.
