Find Ancestors

and yet.......there are references to Derby on both census and he married a girl from Derby! I've looked through to see if he married either of the two Annies I could find on both census but no joy. Mind you, I could be doing it all wrong of course! Cx.

Oh FBG, I'm so sorry, I missed your 2nd contribution - overcome by a fit of coughing!

Well, I suppose he could be either of them because he was certainly a gardener. I will try and find out if my friend can offer a little more information to help us along.

You know I am really grateful don't you! Cx.

Edit.....I'm going to stick my neck out for the first one. The election must be getting to me! xx

Obviously it's catching!! sigh......

Hmmm

So are we sposed to be lookin for owt else then.

I cant find him on 1891 anyway,so scratch that..
What now ?

Or is this him in 1891??

cough cough

Thank you for passing through Fan. lol Cx.

Cough?

Thanks Choccy, he seems to be the nearest birth doesn't he?

I did wonder if he just said he was from 'Liverpool' on the 1891 but that's a lot of guesswork! Cx

this is the only one I can see -

Place of birth of William is Prescott, Lancs !

Well, I thought it would be relatively simple to wend my weary way back through the census.....huh!

I tried to find William on the 1891....but I simply can't - not under the birthplace of Prescot anyway. I even checked through all of the entries for Prescot in 1891.....zilch.

Here is the entry for 1901

I have also checked on the igi - no success there either.

The family is on the 1911 living at Droxford in Hampshire but I don't have access to see where William states his place of birth.

So...I give up....again......such a failure !! Any help would be gratefully received. Thanks. Cx.

My pleasure - a bit of a fluke, really!

Love, Flick x

Thank you Flick. I didn't think about the other way of spelling the name and he is down as Ronald on the 1911 which threw me a little.......and 'tis late!

Very grateful for your time. Love, Cx.

HUMPHRIES Rowland Prince Hereford 6a 482

Hi, this is for a friend.

I am looking for her uncle - Ronald or Roland Humphries who, for some reason unknown to her was known as Roland Prince.

I have found him as Ronald P. Humphries on the 1911, stating he was born in 1908. They are living at Droxford in Hampshire.

I have traced the other siblings ie.,
Margaret Eileen b.1900
Annie Violet b.1902
Betty Iris b.1904
William Lacy b.1905
All born in Herefordshire.

I have found the parents, William and Annie on the 1901 living in Herefordshire

I cannot, however, find Roland/Ronald's birth

Could someone take a look to see what I am missing please?

Many thanks. Cx.
