Finding a relative
10 Answers
How do you search for a relative who was born around 1910 and find out if he had children and if so their names?
Hope someone can help. I've done lots of research for family trees upto 1901 but not afterwards.

After 1911, the mother's maiden name is included in Birth details.
Ancestry.com also gives access to the full indexed BMD registers.

Is the 1911 census available?
The person I'm looking for is a William Longstaff born around 1910 in North Yorkshire (Leyburn area) and died in the Richmond area in early 1990s. William may not be his first name.
I have come across a Joseph William Longstaff born 1911in Durham Western and died 1994 in Durham Western which could tally.
What I know of him is he was on a farm in the Leyburn area and transported cattle and had three sons. His death was announced in the local paper at the time, this could have been the Northern Echo or another one.
If only I could get chance to read the announcement this would give me some answers to my questions.

Hi coccinelle, I looked at this and the registration district for Leyburn up to 1936 should show in the index for his birth if he was born there, but changed to Wensleydale or Richmond after that date, have you the names of any siblings?

Certainly the Feldom area was covered by the Richmond RD.

Thank you dot. I think it'll be like finding a needle in a haystack quite honestly as I have no names of anybody else in the family and though I know he lived in the Leyburn area I don't know if he was born there. I think I'm going to have to look for all the William Longstaffs who died in the 90s in the Leyburn area and work from there.
Thank you again.
