Thanks again Janice. Looks like they swap their forenames around a bit. Peter

Thank you Janice. Sarah and George (Lot George) twins. I have not found (birth) for Albert William so far or a marriage for Sarah Elizabeth Riley/Ryley and William Nash. I find it strange that on the 1891 census Albert William aged 12 is shown as a baker by profession/ occupation, is this an...

MWS Thank you for the above details, will look them up. Have now found a John Nash on 1911 census serving with 4th Bn. Worcesters but not sure its Luke John (aged 22 would suggest 1889 birth not 1887). Peter

Luke John Nash born Birmingham c1886. Have searched for a birth for the above named (1880 - 1890) without success but have a Lucas Nash for 1887. Luke was KiA 14.11.1914 and his sole legatee shown on Army Register of Soldiers effects was his brother, George Lot (George Lot Nash?). Have found...

Yes I did know Janice and thanks for all your help. Peter

Janice I at first dismissed the 1939 Register seeing the wife's name Leah but then searched for a death for Nellie. Nothing at first then by luck found it (surname spelt Hayden). It's a problem when translation of a record (that's probably hard to decipher) gets misspelt, the record who want is...

Many thanks Lyn. It does help, ties it all together now. Nellie died 1922 and Edwin re-married 1923 Leah Rufford. Edwin born 20 10 1884, died Dec. Q. 1955. Have 1939 Register now to confirm. Thanks to Janice also, both your help much appreciated. Peter

Thanks Lyn that would be good. Peter

Many thanks Janice Peter

Thanks Janice and Lyn I did see the 1925 ER with James Rufford at 2 back of 7 Vyse Street. The 1921 census with Beatrice (and Edwin and Nellie) looks right, a number of ER's for 14 Lozells Road have Watson names including Beatrice and a Ellen. Interested in the William Haydon to Emma Pace...

Edwin Haydon b. c1889 Birmingham (Hockley Heath 1911 census). Absent voters list 1918 14 Lozells Road under name Edwin Frederick Haydon. 1920 ER again 14 Lozells Road (also a Nellie Haydon and a Harry Watson at this address). A Edwin F. Haydon married a Nellie Watson Sept. Q. 1917. Have not...

Yes I think this could be why I could not find a birth/death record that fits but thanks all for looking. Peter
