Hi Tracey weird isnt it why have your surname twice it wasnt like he was the 2nd William Ralston he was about the 4th oh well haaaaa. Stockport thats Cheshire yeh ?? doubt they are mine but you never know. I only found out Grt Grandads sister Emily Pratt married a Kilvert when i recieved an old newspaprer cutting from the Kenilworth Library Warks about Grt Grt Grandads fall outta bed. Hehad a coroners inquest into his death you see. Named his daughter Mrs Emiy Kilvert at the house that night BINGO i thourght gotta her married name now. This was 1910 Grt Grt Granpops died, dont know if she had any children but she would be 40 in 1910, so maybe if she had any they were earlier. The prob is my Grt Grandad left Kenilworth and came to Liverpool abt 1896, so he left his family behind, Eldest sister Mary Elizabeth Pratt m 1901 she was in her 30's to a Tew. Jane next eldest sister died aged 33, Walter George his brother was 30odd in 1901 and still at home dont know what happened to him, then theres Emily who married a Kilvert, then Edward Joseph who married an Ellen Bayliss he was a reg serj major and killed in 1917 WW1. I am hoping there may have been descendants of Grt Grandads siblings outhere, so i am trying anything. I was told Grt Grandad Arthur Henry Pratt had 4 children by my Grandad his son he infact had 7 that i know of. Arthur Edwin 1905, Edith & Albert twins 1907 death 1907, Emily 1912, Ethel 1914 death 1916, Walter (grandad)1916 and Stanley ? maybe 1918. Could you do me another look up from 1912 -1920 PRATT mother THOMPSON i doubt there will be anymore if there were they would have been between 1907 -1911 so no mums maiden name then, so i may never know. Thanks Tracey Colette

Thank you Tracey my Grandad was William Ralston, whats weird is on his marriage it has William Ralston Ralston, which i find odd, on his gravestone he has William Joseph Ralston. now even his birth reg has William R Ralston. Oh well i guess i will never get round this one, but why call someone their surname twice. Do you mind looking for.. PRATT births mother BAYLISS Warick, Cov, meriden basicaly any in Warwickshire. 1912 -1917, Also any KILVERT births mother PRATT same area 1912 - 1920 I know i am being cheeky but its a vital time frame you are offering weres there is a void.. Thanks Colette

Sorry Belle, I don't have 1841 for that area. There is someone on the boards with it though, so if you post a thread asking, someone will answer.

Carolyn, I'm struggling. He might be amongst those who have been missed off 1861. There's a big chunk of London missing.

Hi Tracy, Well some things do match and some things dont...the addresses are all different........I just thought that I would ask....thanks for looking anyway.... Hetty

Hetty, I can't find any marriage between a William Eadie and a Sarah. There is, however, a gap in births from John James in 1897 to possibly 1903. I don't think there's any way of knowing for certain. Do the occupations and addresses match the other certs?

Lissa, there are 2 Reubens in the right area... Reuben Fletcher abt 1887 Little Hulton, Lancashire, England Son Atherton Lancashire Reuben Fletcher abt 1889 Salford, Lancashire, England Son Broughton Lancashire There are 21 possible Florences.

Sorry Marie. I haven't found any likely suspects yet. I keep hopping between 1881 and 1901 to see if I can find them with the right-ish occupations, but nothing is showing up right :(

Mandy, familysearch.org (LDS) has it available :) It is also free to search on Ancestry.

Hi Tracey, Many many thanks for the info, I had a feeling there was another child. Now i know i'm going to sound thick, but you say 1881 is free to search! Where would the census be for me to search?
