I just got that one reply from Jimmy, it appeared to answer my query. With no other replies I guess yes, it is completed, thanks again Jimmy

Thanks, just read your pm

Frustratingly my 1921 census has just lapsed. I’m loathed to renew just for this one item. Any kind sole willing to help? Maud Winter (b. 1878 Allen) 1921 census lives 8 Glossop Terrace, Watt St. Nottingham. She is a Cigar Maker at a company called Coppock & Riley located on Coventry St. Thing i...

That 1881 census has both mother and daughter. The husband/father died five years earlier. I wonder why daughter wasn't then also an annuitant or the "funded proprietress" hat was annotated on her death cert? Her occupation on that census is left blank like all previous ones. It was her si...

Her father William Woodall was a "teacher of Mathematics" in the Islington area 1800-1872 . wife no occupation. They had five sons all became "Clerks" taught by him. Some advanced their careers to become wealthy stock brokers and solicitors. It would make a lot of sense if the fa...

Kdwoodie many thanks. As far as I can search no, no will. I’m not sure she would have had any money of her own anyway. In every census she has no occupation and is at home with parents.
Could the “funded” imply she was funded by her mother (father died by this time)?

Hi can anyone have a stab at what this could mean "Funded" maybe then "pro"..... ending in "chess" If you can read it any clues as to what it might be. Its on a death cert of a 53-year-old women who never married and as far as I can find never worked, she lived her whol...

sorry for my much delayed reply, many distractions and the xmas season is my very poor excuse.
Thanks for the alternate suggestion, it does make very good sense....and I'm certainly "thinking about it"

No sniggering from the back! I have a relation, female, single in 1939, aged 22. On the 1939 Register her occupation is shown in capital letters as STRIPPER with the usual added note Heavy Worker. Four years later, into the 2WW on her marriage certificate her occupation is now "Engineers Fitter...

Kd…. I found the MC in her name stands for McFadyen, her grandmother’s maiden name

Thanks everyone I’m going to annotate this “completed” now

kdwoodle, we were probably searching at the same time. I've spent the morning discovering Scotlandspeople website!! I too found Alfred and Agnes marriage. Also the 1921 census that showed the two of them back living with her parents. A 2 room terrace in Greenock with 11 people living there. Agnes's ...

Thanks everyone for your input, very much appreciated! Jimmy; I had that death for Agnes Robinson in 1936 and then the 1939 register which shows Alfred a widower after her death at 11a Commercial St. Mallosa; also yes I had the Annie marriage to William Shipstone in 1943. kdwoodle; thanks also, but ...

I don't suppose anyone here has access to Scottish Marriage records? Maybe my problem has been I'm on Find My Past? On another forum someone has said they found a marriage in Greenock on 17 Nov 1916 for the two of them but I can't find it through FMP Its only just dawned on me too that the 1921 cens...

Any help would gratefully be received on this brick wall! Alfred Ernest Robinson was born in Soulbury, Bucks 26 Dec1895 His parents move the family to Nottingham. On 1901 census he is there at Hackney Yard with parents Jonas and Eliza Robinson By 1911 census family have moved to Cloister St. But I t...

Hi Jimmy, yes I obtained that marriage cert. her father was Charles HILL he was a Coal Miner, deceased by the time of this marriage. Most likely he was born Kenton, Suffolk, 1854, married a Sarah Terry (Terrey) in Nottingham in 1876. They had six children including Millicent Louise, she was born in ...
