Thanks

Ok so have you a date when the last kid came along?

do you have him on any census at all?

need to know the last census and/or kids birth entry to see when we lose sight of him.

if you havent any of the above who did he marry and when....

(have split this and reposted with a new title of Henry Skitt )

Ok, he is on the 1901 census and the last child was born in 1914 I think (I have asked for help confirming the amount of children they had in another post). He married in 1891 in wednesfield. That is all I have on him.

have you seen the reply to that dan? I have answered that where you posted it!

So yes he is having kids up to 1914...rite ... hmmm

So you have to go through the complete index on ancestry up to about 1954 when he would be 84.

or ( and this is what I find helpful) find the marriages of the kids see when he was alive on them ( not always reliable as they did sometimes make mistakes and put down deceased instead of alive) but it does narrow it.

So Wednesfield you think he may have stayed in but of course he could have moved out of the area.

You have to find that appox date of death to give the registration office a 5 yr window to work in.

I think Wednesfield is Dudley not too sure does anyone know?
Or could be Wolverhampton they would tell you anyway.
