But this is the way we work, and we need the back history to move forward, if that makes sense.

And catherine who died between 1901 and 1911 then georges death it was not the 5th may 1880 one ijust cant work out john or catherines 1901 where they had got to ?

Are you sure that George was dead when Catherine got married?

Sometimes a marriage break-up happened and it sounded "better" to say the parent was dead, rather than not around!

Have you searched for him on the next census, for example.


BTW ................ the children were born as follows

Catherine in Liverpool, Lancashire
George and Mary in Hull, Yorkshire

Have you looked for his baptism certificate?

If he was married in Ireland, was he in the Army? If so, it might be possible to find his enlistment and/or record of service
