Find Ancestors

Can anyone look up - on the 1901 Census a Daniel Woodside born in Ireland - living in Cornwall? My Ancestry subscription has just ran out, and my friend has asked me to look up her Gt Grandad! She doesnt know who Daniel married, only that he had a son, Percy Daniel Woodside b. 1905, who married Minnie Barnecut. Would ask someone to look her up on 1901 census too, if I were REALLY cheeky???? !!!! Heres Hoping!!

sorry had no luck

Looked for both. No luck for either names. Are you sure Daniel had arrived from Ireland by 1901? Jackie x

Had a look on 1901 &1891 Mary,cant find anything..Sorry..Ross.

Mary Daniel Woodside is not on the census, is it possible as the child was born in 1905 that Daniel could still be in Ireland??? Victor

Thanks for looking Louise! My friend was a bit sketchy with her information!! Never mind!! x

Mary, Neither of these named people appear on uk 1901 census,so may need to search Ireland. kay.

Thanks to everyone whos had a look!! My pal said that Daniel fought in WW1, and thats all she knows. And he did live in Cornwall, but doesnt know when!! Any suggestions anyone??

Mary Like everyone else I haven't had much luck. The only thing I can tell you is that the Barnecut name seems to originate in Cornwall. The only family that look young enough to have had Minnie after 1901 are William and Harriet, but he was a police insprector and had moved around by the look of it and was now living in Walthamstow. Does she know Minnies parents names? Chrissie

No Chrissie! She doesnt know Minnies parents names! I found a Minnie Barnecut on 1891 census aged 11, who would be the right age for marrying our Dan the man!! Am wondering if she got mixed up with Percys mum/wife!! Stranger things have happened! (especially in my family tree!!)

Hi Mary Looks like Daniel must have arrived from Ireland sometime between the 1901 census and 1905 when his son was born.(His birth is on Ancestry) Name: Woodside, Percy Daniel Record Type: Births Quarter: March Year: 1905 District: Truro County: Cornwall Volume: 5c Page: 124 There is a medal card for a Daniel Woodside, who was a Corporal in The Duke Of Cornwall Light Infantry during WW1.

I think that maybe Daniel was on the run from the IRA and changed his name!! Might as well make it up as I go along!! Think Ill post a new thread for Irish info, as Ive never come accross Irish Census. Are there any? Thanks again everyone!!

THANKS JACKIE!! Thats great!! You are a star, and its given me something to go on! (Like he DID actually exist!) I was beginning to wonder!!

Chris has been looking for them for ages, you have gotten more answers than she'd hoped for!! And FAST too! THANK YOU!! x

Glad to help. My ancestors all seem to be in hiding, so nice to find some for other people. lol Jackie x
