  • William Joseph Speakman B: abt 1862 in Manchester, England

    Hello all!

    I really hope there is somebody out there who can help me, i've hit a wall.

    I know that my g.g grandad William J Speakman was born about 1862 in Manchester (according to the 1901 census) & married Annie in South Wales, but i can not find anything else on him at all. It took ages to find him in the census record as it is recorded as "Speakemann".

    Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

    Just to confirm I presume this is him in the 1901 census
    - Ancestry.co.uk

    Do you have his marriage certificate?
    Have you found him in any earlier censuses?

        Hi Elaine

        Yes correct this is him ( 1901 census - Ancestry.co.uk)

        no I don't have his marriage certificate or been able to find him on any earlier census.

        My first clue came from an ordered birth certificate of my g. granddad, his son, Frederick Speakman. This states:

        DAD: William Joseph Speakman
        MUM: Ann Speakman late Lewis formerly Morgan


        Thanks for the link Elizabeth! I'll check it out now.

          Have you found them in the 1911 census - if so is his place of birth consistent with the 1901?

            On the 1911 census it looks as if he gives his year of birth as 1857 - cannot see place of birth without paying!

            .. so you are going to have to be a bit flexible when searching.

            His marriage certificate to Annie might help as it should state his father's name and occupation.

              I will start looking on ancestry using new birth date.
