Find Ancestors

I am trying to find out where Benjamin Lloyd b.1874 in Kidderminster, Worcestershire went to after leaving home. An older relative left notes that he married circa 1898.

Can anyone help me find him in the 1901 census please?

If found I can progress to the next census.

Nala. :-)

Start by checking freebmd to find out if he DID marry..................

Thanks Nala.

Thank you very much Reggie for the help and finding this information.


I will have to obtain a Marriage certificate to confirm Benjamin's father to be 100% sure.

Nala. :-)

Which would make MInnie - at least - illegitimate, and probably Harold as well

The one who married in 1898 had a second forename............is that known to be correct for the man you are researching?

From that record, Mary married John Whale

The 1881 and 1891 are 100% mine.

My Great grand Mother left various scraps of paper in a family bible. One of them says that Benjamin left home to marry.

I know little else. Nala.

So who is your line?

My line is Benjamin's Mother Rebecca Cartwright who married William Lloyd.

My Great Great Grand father was Rebecca's brother.

Nala.

Your Ben did not have a second forename...........

Thanks again Reggie and Stuart,


Well in the end it came down to the spelling of Ben's Christian name.


Thanks too for the Bampfield info too. Most useful.

Nala :-D

With the unusual first name I just put in last name of LLoyd and Myra for first name of spouse and possible dates between which it happened. There is the option on FMP to tick "include varients" on first names too which doesn't happen on freebmd but you can put B* or Ben* and then it does show up
