I can’t see her presumed mother Annie on the 1911 census, I wondered if she had remarried because she was 10 years younger than her husband. I found this marriage, but of course it may not be her and it is after the census

GOSNEY, Martha


All of this is conjecture of course, you need the marriage certificate of your grandparents which will give her fathers name so you can see if it does match up

Thanks again.

As you're new poster, do you know where to get certificates from?

Although you can get them from the issuing Register Office, the only online site you should use is

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/

Each certificate will cost £9.25 using a debit or credit card and includes 2nd class P&P.
Use the references provided on the thread which were orriginally found on the GRO indexes.

If you purchase from Sheffield Regiter Office, they have a different system of numbering and might cost a bit more. Year, quarter and name should suffice to help them track down the correct certificate

Thank you very much. The birth was correct, so you are saying that it as the first census you provided. That she wasn't living with her parents as it states she was a niece. So as advised I need get copies of either birth or marriage certificate to ascertain parents .
Matt

This would be your grandfathers death

Name: BENTON, John Richard
Registration district: Sheffield
County: Yorkshire
Year of registration: 1996
Month of registration: August
Date of birth: 25 March 1902
District no: 0481G
Reg no: G52A
Ent no: 147
DOR: 896

Is this the death of your grand mother? if it is it gives her date of birth

Name: BENTON, Phyllis
Registration district: Sheffield
County: Yorkshire
Year of registration: 1994
Month of registration: November
Date of birth: 30 August 1902
District no: 0481H
Reg no: H59A
Ent no: 029
DOR: 1194


In that case the birth registration would be the first one found

Name: Phyllis Ackrill
Date of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1902
Registration District: Sheffield
Inferred County: Yorkshire West Riding
Volume: 9c
Page: 683

Assuming the date of birth on the burial was correct, they had 6 weeks to register the birth, so that could take it into the Oct-Dec period of 1902

Welcome to the boards Matt.

I am pleased we didn't scare you off with all the deleting and which board to post on.

Prickles. :-)

Thank you very much for your time. I will follow up accordingly.

Hi Matt, as you've seen from the census there are two very strong contenders and it would be very easy to follow the wrong branch.

To be sure of the right line you need Phyllis' marriage certificate to see who it names as her father. The details are posted above. You can order a copy from GRO for £9.25
http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/

In that case you will need to buy their marriage certificate so you can know for certain who the fathers are before you go backwards

The only way not to buy it would be to visit the records office in Sheffield and to look through the church records on micro film for June to Sept 1930 assuming you could guess which church it was

She married John Richard Benton.
They lived in Hillsborough.

The only Sheffield marriage I can see is the one I posted.If that is the correct marriage then buying that certificate will give her fathers name,so he would know which 1911 family is the correct one

So I suppose it could be either one?

I had just picked that other family up in 1901
