1901 census look up request
« on: Sunday 07 January 24 14:27 GMT (UK) »
I  can see there is a Helen Softly b. 1889/1900  on the 1901 Index in Walker, Tynemouth, Northumberland.  Parents on 1911 census are William and Catherine.

Would very much like to know who else was with her in 1901.  In particular if a sibling Robert was with her.

Kind regards

KA

Thank you Sandra. I'll take a look.

Robert is a real man of mystery.  Marries in 1912, has a family, but then disappears before the 1921 census never to appear on any documentation at all.  I can't even reliably find him on passenger lists.

You will find him at that address in 1939.

Correction
That is not him.

I think that is Robert Finkle Softley.
In 1932, Robert F S is living with Rachel Mackay in Lawton Street.

Where did he marry in 1912? I can’t see it yet.
Who did he marry?
