Find Ancestors

found a Bertha Jarvis b. 1875 Hulme Lancs/ Moss Side Lancs ... but... not certain she is the one..

It's a possibility, have you found Bertha on the 1911 census?

I just found a possible marriage of Ernest Arthur Wilson to Bertha Jarvis 1915 Ormskirk Lancs.
His 3 sisters (who never married) died in Lancs also... Ormskirk and Southport...
no guarantees that it is his marriage... just in the area...

so not much to work with...

I can't find a death for Ernest Arthur - do you have anything else to help with him, we know he was still alive in 1929. But is there anything else you've found during your weekend of working on the family?

Thanks for the help..

The York Herald. 1889 Tuesday August 6th

Wilson - On the 2nd at Grimsby, Nora Kathleen, daughter of Alexander Walker Wilson, of Greenheys, Manchester.

Chris :)

It was the son Susan, the father died in 1901 registered Chorlton - I didn't post that as Blaine was looking for the children.

Can't find anything on Ernest Arthur, other than he was granted probate for his brother's estate in 1929 so must have still been alive then.
