My father has given me 3 old photos taken in Leicestershire One says Mansfield Photographer Welford Place. The other says Phillips and Co Market Place Nottingham and New Walk Leicester. The last one says Photo by (unreadable) Ellistown. We think they were all taken in the early 1900s but wondered how we can find a more exact date. Any help would be appreciated. Andy

Hi Mavis If you have Ancestry, try a search of Leicestershire and use relationship to head of household as prisoner Select a likely candidate from the list which will give the census ref (or HO107 2090 496 29 will take you there) Best wishes Nivard Ovington, in Cornwall (UK) > Please can anyone on the list let me know the reference for the Leicester > prison in the 1851 census. > > Thanks, > Mavis in Kent

Please can anyone on the list let me know the reference for the Leicester prison in the 1851 census. Thanks, Mavis in Kent

Up-date on "cheating on your age" I tried one more time to find her second marriage and assumed that she might have used her maiden name. Bingo and I got the exact match in a 1959 marriage. When I tested the male partner's record, it showed both her maiden name and her first married name. I have requested the certificate and look forward to seeing her stated age!! Tks to those who gave me comments and cues.

I have been a member of Ancestry for several years now - just pay once a year - saves messing around with vouchers and all that! Also their own search engine is pretty good but occasionally throws an wobbly. My grandmother as a young girl was called Letty (name Lettuce which later became Lily) and they had her as Selby! So found her brothers and there she was. However it does save time and I have had some good contacts through it.

I have been chasing a distant female cousin (b. 1912), who married thrice and for the second and third marriages changed her name from Vera to Veronica (less Edwardian!)and knocked off 22 years from her age. I have the cert. for her third marriage(1982 register office) with correct name of father etc. and witnessed by both family members (her son acted as her brother!). The second marriage cert.(1958 in Catholic Church) has the right age(minus 22), but a specious father and she claims to be a spinster (her son, who eventually lost touch with her, remembers that she claimed to have obtained false papers at one stage!). The witnesses do not have any family names. The third marriage is straightforward (except for her age) and she classed herself as a widow, with her second marriage name. The second marriage could be a genuine one, but not my cousin (although it is the only match within 10 years ). I have tried to contact the GRO Office, but they are permanently "occupied". Has anyone been along this road and if so, could you give me any tips to validate the second marriage? It is believed that she died on holiday in Corfu or Cyprus, but I assume her body would have been repatriated. I have a possible death in 1996 in Staffs, albeit the birthdate was a few months off, but what is that, when she takes 22 years off her age!! For some females their vanity knows no bounds! I would really appreciate any guidance on this. Martin Olive

I would say Ancestry - a £10 a month sub, that you can cancel at any time, will give you access to loads more than just the 1901 census. Whereas the stuff you get with genesreunited is quite limited. I think you can also get vouchers for ancestry like you can with findmypast, but like I say you get access to loads of databases.

Hello! Sorry if I sound a bit stupid, but it's been months since I've done any research into my Family Tree and I'm trying to find where the 1901 Census has gone! I thought it was on Find My Past, which I have credits for - but it only goes up to 1891. Did they move it while I was sleeping??? Best wishes, tRaCeY :)
