Thank you Brain, Nival, Mike, Peter, Bill and anyone else if I missed you. Thank you all for all the advice and where to check. Right now I am awake at 4 am so I will wait until my mind is in better shape to look at all the places you have given me. I was doing the free research on Find my part thinking I would buy credits if I found enough. I have ancestry and they are getting some. More seems to be in Nottingham or at least a lot of mine. Its just one of those things to fill in the missing two. II will check out all after I try to sleep more. I know now is not the time. Just wanted to thank everyone for all your help and input. You are such a great group. And I find that some names (Brain and Nival) has helped me with so many of my post over the years. Thank you everyone for trying to help me find my missing link on this one census. Strange how one will keep bugging you until one day it is there to stop the nagging mind to finish at least until the new 1940 USA comes out soon. Then follow them from there. Sincerely Jo-Ann In a message dated 1/7/2012 1:23:19 A.M. Pacific Standard Time, [email protected] writes: Jo-Ann, I have found Elizabeth's parents on the 1911 census in Bishops Wood, Brewood, Staffs, as you indeed may have, and Elizabeth is not there. She was living away from home as a Teacher on the 1901 census, so I suppose there is no reason that she should still be with her parents, but when all else fails you try anything. Goodness me, she is elusive isn't she? Incidentally she states Wolverhampton as her birthplace on the 1901 census. There is an Elizabeth Hackett, recorded as Hakcet on Find my Past, aged 28, born in Wolverhampton. She is working as a barmaid in a Hotel on Stafford Street, Hanley, Staffs. There appears to be a page missing on Find my Past, as it doesn't show the page with the householder's declaration, so the name of the Hotel is not shown. Apart from the obvious divergence of occupation, she fits. Maybe she boarded there as a Teacher, but helped out in the Hotel at night, hence the use of the word "barmaid." The reference is RG14PN16538 RG78PN1022 RD361 SD1 ED28 SN2 By the way, Ancestry appears not to have a complete 1911 census of Staffs yet. I tried with the Publican's name at this hotel, a George Chamberlain, but he couldn't be found.

I have tried everything I know to do even adding additional years to ages. I am trying to find Arthur Vickers born 1884 Basford, Nottingham. Elizabeth Anne Hackett born 1883 Brewood, Staffordshire. They were married in Oct of 1911 he lived in Boldmere ? I think that is in Warwickshire. And she was living in Brewood, Staffordshire. Like I said I have tried every thing I know of and sure there are other ways I have no clue of. I cannot find Arthur Vickers or Elizabeth Hackett. Like I say they were married 12 Oct 1911 in Staffordshire. I have the marriage certificate. Would it be possible that they both did not fill in the census. Arthur Vickers was at the time of marriage a Manufacturing stationers Manager. Elizabeth a school teacher. I would think they would be responsible people and fill in the census. Any input as to why I am having trouble finding at least one would be appreciated very much.

This 12 year project was launched in November 2011. http://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/ A phtograph of how its done here: http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2011/11/29/british-library-puts-historical-newspapers-online_n_1119418.html Search for free, but payments need to be made for the full information. See their scale. I've learned lots within a few days - and this is only a beginning! Highly recommended. But sadly, Kate, The Nottingham Review has not yet been scanned so neither Samuel Preston nor William Hunt's name appears. Good hunting. Ruth

Hi Kate As an Australian resident you can get access to the Gale Newspaper databases by joining your National Library of Australia (as opposed to your State Library) You will get a membership number which allows you to access all the newspapers online 24/7 Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > Hi Annette, > > I did Google for the Gale Newspaper site, I can’t seem to find the right site, if anyone has the > address for this site or any other searchable newspaper databases it would be much appreciated. > > Regards, > Kate Winks, Melbourne, Australia. > > > > Hi Kate, > > have you tried the Gail newspaper site - just put into Google, cannot remember > the address off hand, > > happy hunting > Annette WATSON > Lismore 2480 > >

Hi, In June 2011 I photographed various buildings in Woolpack Lane in relation to my great-grandparents who resided at Woolpack Lane while getting married at nearby St Marys. Although Woolpack Lane has essentially been rebuilt, I found a building which looks like it could have been constructed for framework knitting and I will be happy to email to you photos I took of it. After all, it might have been where he worked!
