I nearly always find that boarders,, lodgers and visitors are related in some way.

Thanks Tom

Yes, if you call in, you just fill in a form with the info you have. Name Age when died (I put qtr and year) Where died - Just put the town/village and if a child, i usually put son/daughter of.. Depends how busy they are, but you will be able to call back later that day ( about 1 hour later) or if they aren;t busy, they will do it while you wait, or you can have it posted, but they do fold it up when they do that,

Yeah will defo use Wakefield. I am from Featherstone which is near Wakefield so I will call in. You can do that can't you??? Do I just ask them for all the information they have? Sorry to sound so stupid but I have no idea of this stuff (Only been doing it about 2 weeks) Thanks

will you use Wakefield Kate? If you do, you can get them to check things, as in where he lived, or son of... for no extra cost.

Never known anyone answer so fast!!! I thought he possibly died young but couldn't seem to find anything and nor could anyone else. Thanks so much will send for the death certificate to make sure.

This is probably him: - Name: John Senior Birth Date: abt 1876 Year of Registration: 1888 Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar Age at death: 12 District: Wakefield County: West Riding Of Yorkshire, West Yorkshire Volume: 9c Page: 3 (click to see others on page He is not with the family in 1891.

will have a look now...

It's me Tom It's all this sun!!! Any luck with John?

Kate, She didn't remarry, those other people are actually boarders, and she is the head of the house.

Thanks Tom, Ann's age jumps three years from 1891 to 1901 anyway! I am going to order the death certificates. In 1901 I take it Elizabeth has married and the Mitchell living there is her husband? Will try and find a marriage entry. Could you find information on John Senior at all he's escaping everyone! Doubt a 32 year old man would be mistaken as a 16 year old boy. So dont think that could be him. Thanks for your help

you could do the same for Ann: - Name: Ann Senior Birth Date: abt 1846 Year of Registration: 1909 Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec Age at death: 63 District: Wakefield County: West Riding Of Yorkshire, West Yorkshire Volume: 9c Page: 30 (click to see others on page)

this is the death reference for George. Name: George Senior Birth Date: abt 1836 Year of Registration: 1895 Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun Age at death: 59 District: Wakefield County: West Riding Of Yorkshire, West Yorkshire Volume: 9c Page: 36 (click to see others on page) It would be worth ordering it and checking it against where he was living and his occupation. If you do rder it, ring up wakefield RO, they are excellent, and you get it 1-2 days after ordering, and it is a scan with the informants signature on it!

and 1901 View Record Dyson Mitchell abt 1880 Methly, Yorkshire, England Boarder Crigglestone Yorkshire View Record Elizabeth Mitchell abt 1882 Horbury, Yorkshire, England Boarder Crigglestone Yorkshire View Record Ann Sencior abt 1849 Flockton, Yorkshire, England Head Crigglestone Yorkshire View Record Joshua Sencior abt 1880 Horbury, Yorkshire, England Son Crigglestone Yorkshire this means that he died between 1891 and 1901

family in 1891 View Record Ann Senica abt 1846 Flockton, Yorkshire, England Wife Crigglestone Yorkshire View Record Elizabeth Senica abt 1881 Horbury, Yorkshire, England Daughter Crigglestone Yorkshire View Record George Senica abt 1837 Crigglestone, Yorkshire, England Head Crigglestone Yorkshire View Record Joshua Senica abt 1879 Horbury, Yorkshire, England Son Crigglestone Yorkshire

Found on 1881 Census:- Living at Broad Cut, Horbury Ann Senior abt 1849 Flockton - Wife George Senior abt 1839 Crigglestone - Head Bessie Senior abt 1810 Bolton - Mother Arthur Senior abt 1879 Horbury - Son Hannah Senior abt 1871 Crigglestone - Daughter John Senior abt 1876 Horbury - Son Joshaua Senior abt 1880 Horbury - Son Walter Senior abt 1873 Crigglestone - Son Asked and no-one can seem to find family on later Census.

Death certificate ages are only as reliable as the memory of the informant. Even my own grandad's death cert has the wrong age because Uncle Bill got it wrong. Similarly with Censuses. Who actually spoke to the enumerator? And did they have full knowledge? There is always a certain amount of flexibility.

can you post some census info that you know is definately them?

Hi, Can anyone help me, I have just been searching through Wakefield Burial Records and have come across my ggg grandad and grandmas entries. They are defo rights ones but ages dont match with the age on census. George Senior was born in 1839 and was buried in 1895 making him 56 records show him as 59 his wife Ann Senior was born in 1849 and buried in 1909 making her 60 records show her as 64. Can Census or Records be a few years out? Thought I had found their elusive Son John Senior born as theres one buried in 1892 but he wasnt born until 1876 and records show a 32 year old but this lad would have only been 16. This cant be right can it?? Any help would be great Kate
