How can I find out about my nans siblings, who they were etc. I have my gt grandparents names, apart from 1901 census which only has a couple on, there are about 11 others. nan was born in 1911 )dec) many thanks Elaine x

1901-1911 is tricky. Any after that should be tracable, because mum's maiden name is on the indexes (Family Relatives is quick to search, but pay-per-view. Ancestry is free to trawl the GRO indexes) For the children in between a lot depends on: Whether they moved house a lot Whether the surname is rare/commnplace How much money you have to spend!! Merry

As Mother's Maiden Name was added to indexes midway through 1911 you could go trawling through to find names that match the father's surname and the mother's maiden name. That's the way I found all 7 of my Uncles. Joy

do you want to throw us the names and where abouts or dont you know them?

Elloo im back, but im off for a while after this so sorry if I dont reply straight away My GT Grandparents were Joseph Yearley and Clara yearley nee Harris Rose Yearley(Nan) was born on 3 dec 1911, her elder brother William Yearley (Bill) born in 1900 or 1901. Born Bethnal Green London. Ta Elaine x B Back Later xx

So, here they are in 1901: Clara Tearley abt 1877 Bethnal Green, London, England Wife Bethnal Green London Joseph Tearley abt 1874 Bethnal Green, London, England Head Bethnal Green London William Tearley abt 1900 Bethnal Green, London, England Son Bethnal Green London Living at 25 Kay St, Bethnal Green. Joseph is a Carman. Original page clearly says Yearley! As William and Rose were both reg in Bethnal Green (did you realise Rose was a twin??), I would begin with the Bethnal Green entries in between. If you look at them on FreeBMD, you will see that there must be more than one family in the area as some of the births are registered too close together to belong to the same mother. However, some tactical cert ordering should sort them out!! (such as, if there are three close together, order the middle one with checking points. if this is yours then neither of the others can be.......etc) Merry

There are two more births after Rose and Violet reg in 1912 Q1......and before 1920. Suggest you trawl Ancestry starting with 1913... Merry

Yes and I forgot to add, twin was vialot and there was a sis Lillian b 1904 The only ones i knew about B B ack later off for dinner x

they married march quarter 1898 and is it possible HIS father was also a Joseph - and mother was a Mary Ann either Waples or Webster. if so they married dec quarter 1872 and if so poss birth for gt granda Joe is june quarter 1873 in Holborn

Elaine From Family Search... As this includes Rose I guess the rest are siblings. Yearley Charles R (Mother Harris) Bethnal Green.1c 200 Birth 1 1914 Yearley May (Mother Harris) Bethnal Green.1c 191 Birth 4 1915 >>>>Yearley Rose (Mother Harris) Bethnal Green.1c 221 Birth 1 1912 Yearley Violet (Mother Harris) Bethnal Green.1c 221 Birth 1 1912 Rose and Violet were registered in the next quarter after their birth. Chris

Sorry forgot to say.... My search was from 3rd Quarter 1911 to 1920. Chris

Elaine Search the parish registers. They are not just for pre 1837. They are an ideal way of filling in the gap after 1901. Margaret

Thank you all for your help I remember nan saying that she had a sister called May, but she died very young. Thank you so much to you all. Elaine x
