I am after the emigration details of a William Henry Oram b 1879 in Tynemouth Northumberland ...certainly northumberland.
I think he may have left between 1905 - 1907/8
The problem I have is that I am still not convinced he is not my Gt grandfather.
I have the birth certif for my nana which has her father as Daniel Simpson
and I have the marriage cert for my nana which has father as William Oram.
She is on the 1911 census with this Daniel Simpson and he has been covered in another thread.
Laura is down as a Simpson on there with her mother and her sibs are down as Oram which is what it says on there birth certifs.
Laura Simpson is the youngest age 3...born 16 April 1908
Minnie Oram is the next born 8 Nov 1905
there is no marriage at all for this Daniel Simpson and Amy Maud Beatrice Oram (nee Bell)
So I am not convinced that Daniel simpson is the father of Laura even though he is on birth cert
that could have been added to save face...perhaps Amy/Maud was already pregnant and Daniel offered to have his name on the certif.
I thought if I can establish when he went to america that would help
and
electoral registers.....are they every year?
Women got the vote in 1918..and I dont think they appeared on the actual registers till then...only head of house
On the birth cert mother puts down for Laura
16 April 1908 19 Dixon Street Bensham Gateshead
that might have been where Daniel was living not sure...
So if anyone has the emigration record for William Henry Oram that would help...
