Hi rootgatherer - many thanks for all your hard work and I certainly will come back to you once I find the connection.. Again, many thanks rootgatherer, very much appreciated.... John

John

Mary Doris's birth was registered in the Sep quarter of 1901 - unlikely then that she would be on the 1901 census. Again perhaps she was just a niece of Freds who happened to be visiting on census night 1911 - again this information will be available to you when you purchase the census record.

Out of curiosity would you please come back to this post and let me know?

Hi rootgatherer - just wondering if this Mary Doris could have been and 'adoption'.. I notice she was with the family in Middlesboro on the 1901 census, and again on the 1911 census when the family moved to Shildon in county durham... But then again, her mother was in an age group where she could have had another child - yet nothing mentioned of her anywhere.............. regards, John

You could well be right rootgatherer and that's something which I will check on along with the 1911 census...... Many thanks, you've been a really great help and it's very much appreciated..... John

Well here's Millicent with her parents. You may find that George is Fred's brother?

HOUSEHOLD NUNN GEORGE HENRY M 1879 32 Auckland Durham
HOUSEHOLD NUNN MARGARET F 1880 31 Auckland Durham
HOUSEHOLD NUNN VIOLET LILIAN F 1907 4 Auckland Durham
HOUSEHOLD NUNN MILICENT CARTWRIGHT F 1910 1 Auckland Durham

Have you bought the 1911 census entry yet? It certainly looks as if Mary Doris is living with the family! Mother Alice had Mary as a middle name and it would appear that the children were named for family members. While I realise that Millicent can't be one of Alice and Freds children, I wondered if she was Freds' niece?

I think the MARY DORIS and the MILLICENT names must be a co-incidence rootgatherer - never come across those two before......
Can you see if you can find the AMY Burnett (nee Nunn) and George H Burnett (jack) during your 'travels'.....If and when you have time.... Many thanks... John

rootgatherer - they are the ones - AMY wouldn't have been with them as she was born in 1913... Altho they are all the Nunn family, I can't understand the DORIS which has come up.... Never heard of that one before.... Thanks rootgatherer.............John

Looks like Jack was a nickname!

Have you looked on freebmd for Amy's mother's maiden surname, then a marriage? If the marriage was before 1911 you may find them on the census and trace back from there via census records.
