*Archived* - Arthur Flowers, Killed in the Great War, 1918

[smiths565]

Hello,

Can anybody do me a 1901 census lookup. Arthur Flowers was born in 1896/97 and his mothers name was Agnes. He may have been living in Sheffield, but I cannot confirm this. I'd like to know the identity of his Father, Brothers/Sisters etc
Thanks in advance

Robert.

Hi Robert

Do you know if Agnes was still alive in 1901?
I can't see an Arthur Flowers with mother Agnes anywhere. (in fact,I can't see ANY Agnes Flowers listed, and no Arthurs that look to be matches ...)

This looks to be his birth registration though:
Name: Arthur Flowers
Year of Registration: 1896
Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep
District: Sheffield
County: South Yorkshire, Yorkshire - West Riding
Volume: 9c
Page: 598

A copy of his birth cert. should give fathers name and occupation as well as mothers maiden name.
