I've looked at the 1901 census and I found Mary Eliz Pyke, b. c. 1895 Scarborough, and on the census, her mum, Mary Ann Pyke (b. c. 1869 Robin Hood's Bay, Whitby, Yorkshire) is married but there is no mention of husband on census. She also has two other children Martha Storm and Hilda Victoria.

I'm just curious as to where her husband may have been, and who he was, what he did etc...

Have you looked for a marriage for Mary Ann ??? to Mr Pyke?

What are the ages / birth years of the eldest child?
A year or so prior could be a good place to start looking for a marriage

You could use, its free

I've tried that earlier, just getting confused......

Martha's name is quite distinctive.

Her birth cert. would give some answers.


Births Mar 1897

Pyke Martha Storm .... Scarbro' 9d 388

Helen

Tried that earlier - what have you tried?

This could be the marriage

Marriages Jun 1896
Goodall Mary Ann Scarbro' 9d 584
PYKE Thomas William Scarbro' 9d 584

But as Gwyneth has pointed out - if you get the birth certificate - it should give the mother mmn and the fathers name and occupation

Another possible marriage

Thank you to all of you. I did check on freebmd and am trying to get to grips with IGI. Just need lots of perserverance.

Thank you all, again

I will get Martha Storm Pyke's birth certificate. Believe it or not Storm is a popular name round Robin Hood's Bay, and so is Pyke. Don't know where it came from, but I'm sure I'll find out.

Could this be Walter, in 1901 - it would explain him being away from his young family

If Martha father is Walter and he works on ships/boats perhaps she was conceived/ born in a Storm?!?!

Lol!

Thank you for finding Walter, Patricia. That does seem feasible, but will check with birth certificates.

Apparently one of my husband's ?x great grandfather was working on the lifeboats and ships, so you may have found him. Thank you Patricia.
