Ideas on where I could search please!!! I have spent so long trying to solve this puzzle, I would even consider paying a local Archivist if there is one in Hull - I am so desperate. My father, John Joseph Sissons, was born in Hull in 1915 but when he was coming up to nine, his mother, Mary Jane Olsen died at thirty-two. He was put in to Linneaus Street Children's Home by his Father, Samuel Sissons. Dad was killed when I was a little girl - too young to ask questions and he never talked about his childhood at all, nor his family. The only thing I knew for sure, was his birthday, so I got a copy of his Birth Certificate. That is how I found out the names of his Mother and Father, Mary Jane Olsen (formerly Thackray) and Samuel Sissons, both lived in Hull. I was then able to find his Mother, Mary Jane's Death Certificate and the names of her family, she was born Mary Jane Thackray in Dublin. The problem is that although Samuel Sissons is listed as his father, I have no details at all of Samuel's age and when I check in Hull, there is no trace of 8 Warneford Terrace - the house that was listed when he was born. Mary Jane was not married to Samuel Sissons but still married to her first husband - Charles William Olsen and I do not know what happened there, other than my Dad's birth was not registered until he was five months, where his brothers were registered straight away. Identifying Samuel is proving impossible - there seems to be numerous Samuel Sissons in Hull. Any advice would be greatly appreciated - Thanks linney 2019
