I’ve given you info from 1921……..see post at 19.06

Incidentally, the census record I saw for the mother Ann says birthplace North Wales, as far as can be determined allowing for the poor handwriting

Ok, he was a plate moulder, he died in 1929 in oldham Lancashire,
He was not married to Mary she was a widow with young Ellen but down as Nelly her surname was Leicester but down as Jones on the census,the children between my g grandparents are,

John Edward 1902 down as Jack on census,
Norman 1905- 1907,
Arthur 1907,
Rose 1909,
Thomas 1912-1913,
Leonard 1914,
Norman 1915,my grandfather,
Sidney 1922,

I know he married Elizabeth hannah cropper in oldham and had a daughter may in 1898, may died and he then took up with my g grandmother Mary mangan from tullamore Ireland, she used various names throughout her life,

His mum was Ann Davies born c1850, on census records she states she was born in south Wales also wrexham but she told her children she was born in caernarvon.

Info about her on his marriage cert but unsure of the name listed as his father,

Just wanted to know if there is any details on the 1921 census that might be different again and give a fresh search starting place

As you know the mother’s name, try looking for Johns’ birth registration using the GRO site. It is FREE

Presumably his mother gave his birthplace info in 1881 and one would expect her to know where she gave birth.

If you can’t find her marriage, how do you know what her ‘maiden’ name was?

What was the man’s occupation?

What was his wife’s full name when they married? WHEN was the marriage?

When did he die……….and where?

Birth years of the children would be helpful :-S :-S

You can find accurate info by looking at LancsBMD - if that’s where they were born
