Hi Northernlass

Was just hoping if Annie could shed some more light on the 9 children, or was I right that the census just states amount born and living?

Neale

Yes it just gives the amount of born and living
and then lists those in the household

Sorry annie, is it right that the 1911 census just asks number of children and whether they are still living?

Sorry for being so green.

Neale

Yes you are right Broonyboy they only record the amount of children not the names.

Annie

Yes Peterd

Just noticed that one!!!

looking at what i thought I had for this family is.

census 1871

H.D.Clemmy, Head, Age23, Boiler Maker
Jane Clemmy, Wife, Age23, Boiler Maker Wife
J.D.Clemmy, Son, Age3,
Jane D Clemmy, Dau, Age1

Percy St. Saint Peters Quay

1881 Census

Jane Clemmy, Head, Widow, Age 33, Dressmaker
James Clemmy, Son, Age 13, Rivet Heater in Shipyard
Jane Clemmy, Dau, Age 11,
Mary Clemmy ?, Dau, Age 8,
George Clemmy, Son, Age 2

34 Fell Street

1901 Census

Jane Clemmy, Head, Widow, Age 53, Dressmaker
George Clemmy, Son, Age 22, Apprentice Rivetter.

51 Fell Street

and a death from FreeBMD

Surname First name(s) Age District Vol Page
Deaths Mar 1875 (>99%)
CLEMMY Henry Dewar 27 Newcastle T. 10b 94

So thought I was definitely on the right track, but that one got passed me!!

Wonder where I have gone wrong?

Neale

who down as father for george on wedding cert have you got his birth cert as well if not might be worth sending for it if you think its your george ?

henry isnt george father if he died in 1875 so that leave a possible relationship with a.n. other ?

Do you need any more help with this
