This couple married in 1911 but married in the 4th quarter so would have been married at the time of the census. They may be living near his birth place but I can't find them anywhere.

Elizabeth Ann Richards (illegitimate also uses Burns as surname)

1891 - Haverford West, Wales (nursing infant)
1901 - Fleetwood, Lancs
1911 - ???
1939 - Fleetwood, Lancs (widow)

Patrick O'Hara - married O-N-D 1911 in Fylde (covers Fleetwood)

I just can't find them?

Census was taken well before the marriage

Where was he born?

When were they born?

The census was taken on 2nd April so they wouldn’t be married

From google

April
The 1911 census was taken on the 2nd April and contains millions more records than the previous 1901 census. This is the first available census to be filled in by your ancestors, enabling you to view your ancestors handwriting.

I have just looked back through the census again and I think she may be with her mother as Bessie Burns. I realise now that the census is before the marriage. Sometimes when you've looked at something so long you go boss eyed lol

I have no other information about Patrick other than the marriage record.

Who was her mum

Larissa68

Larissa68 Report 9 Nov 2019 20:26

Her mum is Margaret Burns living in Fleetwood on the 1911 census.

Now a realise that her and Patrick are not married on the 1911 then this is going to have to be a certificate I think.

Possibility for Patrick's death which gives a birth year of c1889/90

Right area and of an age with Elizabeth

Wrong age, I'm afraid, Shirley - the child born JFM Qtr 1910 would be one year old in 1911.

And wrong location

Plus, as already established, his grandmother's name was Margaret
