Bren, I take it he was born 1887 not 1987? Or should it be 1897?

Yes, this isn't Brenda, it's a friend. Sandra Crutchley, I am a member

So we don't confuse things, is it not possible for you to post under your own membership name Sandra.

Thank you very much for that. Is there any chance of finding his parents date of marriage, please? I am not a paid member of Ancestry and new to this research.

[brenmac]

Yes. As soon as I get home I will. Brenda has very kindly been showing me how to use the site. Thanks for your help.

This looks like the marriage of Cecil's parents

Rodwell Charlotte
Thurstance Edward Albert

- you can generally find marriages pre 1900 on freeBMD, so you don't need an ancestry subscription.

On the 1891 census Cecil's father used the name Edward, but on the 1901 census he uses the name Albert (just to make things complicated!)

[brenmac]

Thanks very much for the information and the helpful link. I now have enough info to get going myself.

[Elaine ..Spain]

No problem Sandra. Enjoy the site and don't hesitate to ask questions when you need some more help.
