My ancestor states on three census returns that she too is married although her husband is not noted on any of the census. |

Hi Ozi, Yes, that is her death details and no, I didn't buy it yet as I pressumed the info wouldn't be much help as her father John Redhead would have been witness and I am pressuming William was still alive and so would be of no help to me. |

Thanks very much to you both. I think this William could be mine, I will have to delve further to see if he was in this same area on the 1881 census. I didn't really look for anyone of his proffession as I know they changed occupation frequently in those days. He was recorded as a clerk on his wedding cert and in Kelly's Directory for 1876 living in Wesley St., Hulme (the same address as on marriage cert). It was the addition of his father's occupation that threw me as I felt sure he would have been still living in the Manchester area. You are correct Sylvia, the addition/omission of fathers name/occupation does throw a spanner in the works for a lot of people Ayway, all food for thought. It has got me wondering again now! I will try again. Thanks once again for your help, Janet |

It says she's married. |

The fact that he was named on your grandfather's marriage certificate, and his profession noted, does not in fact mean that he WAS alive at that time! |

I presume you have discounted this one because his occupation is a photographer and he is listed as single |

I have searched for my GGranfather for ages without any luck. He was born in Glasgow in 1850 to James Buckley & Isabella McFadyen. They moved to Salford shortly after & had several more children. William was living with them on the 1871 census & then married in the summer of that same year to an Alice Redhead (they then lived in Hulme). By the 1881 census Alice was back with her parents in Salford with 3 children (2 born in Hulme & 1 in Pendleton, Salford). I can find nothing of him after that - no death etc. His proffession was noted on my Grandfather's 1894 marriage cert as a Barman and so he was still alive then. Could anyone help me get on the right track please? |
