  • Trying to find

    I am going cross eyed trying to find this family in the 1891 census, could somebody please look to see if they can find them.

    Alexander Holmes 1863
    Eliza Holmes 1866
    Albert E Holmes 1895
    Alexander H Holmes 1891
    Ernest J Holmes 1897
    Julia S Holmes 1889

    Class: RG13; Piece: 524; Folio: 115; Page: 10.

    Obviously they would only have Julia in the 1891 census and I don't think that they were all born in Deptford as it says in the 1901 census.

    Thanking you in advance.

      Wow, Lyn, how on earth did you dig that one out. It is definitely the right one, Walter aged 22 was Alexander's brother and Alexander was a tripe dresser. Thank you so much you have saved me from going crazy lol.

        Hi Barbara
        Julia was the least common (kind of) name that I would expect to find in that family in 1891, so I just searched for Julia with no surname and put in DOB of 1889 and Father's name of Alex*. (I left mother's name blank, just in case there had been a change of spouse between census)

        About 6 came up and the Welder one showed mother as Eliza, so I checked the image. Lo & behold, it said Alexander W Holmes as head! How they managed to get Welder out of it, I am not sure. LOL!

            Don't feel embarrassed...we all have to learn and it took me about 2 years to learn that trick. The good folks here taught me! And that is why I shared the tip with you. (not to make you embarrasses, but to help you like they helped me!)
