  • Anyone want Census challenge ?

    I have a George Brocklehurst b Ecclesall B in 1851.

    Please can you find him on the 1871 ...with his wife (who I suspect could be Eva) .... and follow him and his wife up this way to 1901/1911.
    We are HOPING against all odds that he and wife had a SON named Arthur ....and we suspect they stayed in Ecclesall B/Sheffield area.

    BIG ASK I know xxxx

    Can't see a George Brocklehurst who was born in Ecclesall B.
    Where have you found him?
    Do you know anything else about him, e.g. names of parents/siblings?

          I have an Arthur Brocklehurst who married in 1912. I'm being told catagoricly that his (Arthur's) Father was George and Mum 'possibly' Ella .... but can't find any marriages between George and Ella. Nearest I have found is a possible George to Eva .... I'm struggling, cos if I had the census's I could snoop about all day long until I found them.
          Basically - I'm looking for an Arthur Brocklehurst on 1901/1911 census with a Father named George and possible mum Ella !!!!! but we do not yet know when Arthur was born - his 83 yr old son is trying to tell us but its difficult !!!! ....he's getting all the names and families mixed up with the other side you helped me with yesterday :( but he KNOWS for a fact his Grandad was GEORGE BROCKLEHURST

                            Keeps bouncing back! Have sent you a pm.

                            The Ancestry tree which I sent to you shows the parents of Arthur born 1889 Sheffield as Ernest Brocklehurst and Sarah Ann Knowles - which matches with the 1901 census.
