Help or advice please.
I have been researching tracing my Great Grandfather Arthur Oakes. I have traced the following and confirmed with family members these are correct.
1911 Census - Allington, Rossett, Denbighshire, Wales. Born 1869 London, London
1904 Marrriage - Chester, Cheshire, England to Ellen Price
1901 Census - Hoylake Cum West Kirby, Cheshire, England. Born 1870 London
1939 Register & Death record tie up.
However this has been a family mystery how Arthur born in London ended up in the
North West/North Wales. I am unable to locate any census records for Arthur Oakes, Oake, Oates, Oat etc,etc for the 1871, 1881 & 1891 Census's or birth record.
Any pointers in my next steps of research would be much appreciated.
Thanks
