Looking for a link...
25 Answers
I've only just started to look into my family tree and I'm finding it a bit frustrating, I've found my grandfather and his wife but I can't seem to link my father and his 10 brothers and sisters to him. At the mo I'm not registered with any Family search (mainly because of the cost). Any tips would be helpful.

Amy only died in 1999 and so it's probable though not 100% that some of the info came from her, the death date for Elsie is given as 23 Oct 1900 and the birth as Sept 1900, that matches the birth and death registrations at Bramley in Q4 1900. With having a definate death date that has to be either from a death certificate, a memorial card, a gravestone, a family bible or something that personal to the family,.
Thanks there isn't an Elsie as far as I know, all I know there were 11 children possibly 2 died early on. It is such a large family I got confused about who I was looking for and got side tracked. I looked on the Family history site which gave me a number 1342084 National archive RG11 and piece folio 4517/110 which meant not a lot to
me. I am wondering now who the 3 relatives are. However I'll try again. Thanks for your help, at least I have something to go on now.

Thanks dotty, I found Alfred O on the 1881 census but I hadn't seen the 1891 with the sisters on it, I looked for Alfred O but he must have died. It was quite interesting to note he was born in Stepney london. My dad hated cockneys for some reason and it seems Walter was born in Hackey too. But not my grandad. I thought the family originated in Wolverhampton Staffs.I don't know where the London residence came from. Probably work.
