Hi
That certainly sounds promising.
Have you got Henry and Margaret in 1871, because I am struggling to find them!
John

No John, I can't find them either. I've even tried looking in Norman Street, Tunstall Street and Ocean Road but found nothing as these were known addresses they lived in.

Oh sorry, that is disappointing. If they can be found, I am sure somebody on Rootschat will do so! But you are making progress in any case.

Yes, just bought Mary's death certificate and if she lived in 37 Norman Street it's a definite match

Hi all,

Just an update on the death cert. I've got it and the address is 27 Norman Street.

He then married Margaret Weallans Dobson and on their Marriage cert. it says 37 Norman Street.

I'm taking a major guess to see that they are the same person and that possibly one of the numbers are wrong and that they are in fact the same Henry.

I think if I can find a electoral register or the 1871 census this may prove things but until then I'm still taking it.

Still need to prove Henry's mother too, I was hoping ancestry DNA would of helped with this but I'm not further forward with that.

Hi
Thanks for letting us know.
Lots of folk moved frequently in those days, often up and down the same street. So I wouldn't be too worried about the difference in house numbers, it does look promising to me.
