Hi Hilary, Thanks for your help. I am looking for Mary (Polly, Cissie) and Florence. I have not been able to track them past 1911 census. I have found the other brothers and sisters in the 1939 register. I have tried OPC, BMD, Ancestry and Find my Past but with no luck, not sure where else to look. ...

Hi, I believe that it is the same person looking at both census records and I have a baptism record -all give a birth year 1894. Baptism = Polly 28/10/1894 Mary in the 1901 census, Cissie 1911census. I also have her listed as Mary for her School Admissions record - birthday 19/09/1894 which ties in ...

Thanks Mary for having a look, I have Findmypast and access to the 1939 register and not able to find any dickinson's with the birthdates of the girls. They cannot have vanished. I am looking to see if there are any cousins (if there are they will be 2nd, 3rd or 4th) still living in Formby. I have j...

Hi All, Help needed. I have trying to find more information on Cissie/Polly/Mary and Florence Dickinson.

Simone and Hilary you both are amazing with the info you are able to find. I am now going to assume that there was no marriage for Thomas and Jane and that Edwards birth was not registered and move on. The infomation that you have found has that been on the internet? Thank you both again. :clap: :-D

Thanks Hilary and Simone for your help it is greatly appreciated. I now feel confident that I am on the right track. I have not been able to locate any birth entry for Edward, I shall just move on as he was definitely born and I know who his parents are. Might now have a go at tracking Samuel and El...

Hi Simone, Thanks for your help. Have checked the 1861 census record you found and had a look and the birth dates dont seem to match up, I have Thomas being born in 1837 as per the 1841 and 1851 census, 1833 for 1891 and 1835 for 1881. With regards to the census I have been able to keep track of his...

Hi Hilary,
With the info you gave me earlier today I believe that Ernest died in 3rd quarter 1981 and Cliff died in March 1980. Clifford married a Kate Roberts in 1930. I am not sure that these dates are 100% correct yet, still trying to verify. Thanks again. Cheers Carole
