I have bumped this back up for you Deb.. :smilee:

[debsimlfc]

thank you, hope someone can help

[margaretmarch]

Well the 1911 that darksecretz found is the parents but where are the children?

Do you know who the grandparents are? Louise maiden name might help if you have it.

[margaretmarch]

What have you got for this family? I can't see them on 1901 and as the 1911 census shows married 10 years I looked for a marriage in 1900 +/- 2 years but nothing obvious is coming up. What ages would the children be in 1911?

I think if anyone is going to be able to help we need a bit more information.

Can't find the children on the 1911.

I see though that in later life some of them go to Canada and then come back.

There is a possibility that Jack b. Dec 1906 died in Jan Q 1907 Grimsby 7a - 477.

Also William b. June Q 1910 may have died in Dec 1910 Grimsby 7a - 361.

Which just leaves two children to find - Ada and John.

Okay,

There is a tree on ancestry- bins/cave/cheale - I don't know if this is yours ?
It gives a possible extra child Arthur b. 1909, Grimsby.

Sorry, it is your tree ! I really should read the signatures.

This is a possible death for Louisa.

Louisa Fincham
b. abt 1885
d. June Q 1920
Grimsby 7a - 652

This would explain why some of the children went to Canada.
I haven't found anything else, but will keep looking over the next couple of days.

hi thank you for your help, yes this is my tree. i have found some of their family in canada but they are in the dark over things as i am.
i have found louisa and her husband john on the 1911 census it shows that their children weren't living with them then either, very confusing !
it says on the census that they have been married 10 years. but i can only find a marraige in 1917 just as you have.

[Darksecretz]

I'd still send for that marriage cert, I have a branch of folks in my tree they had 10 children been together since 1851 passed themselves off as married all thru the census, when did they marry??? 1906!!! and then he dies in 1907!

[debsimlfc]

wow ok will do thanks
