Hi, I am new to the list, and I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction I am trying to find the death of a Fred Corbett. He was born in the September Quarter 1871 in the district of Sheffield, West Riding of Yorkshire. Fred was one of eight children born to John Corbett and Elizabeth nee Clarke. Elizabeth died in the December Quarter 1880 at Rotherham. Fred married in the June Quarter 1892 in Rotherham to Fanny Trickett Hawke. Fanny was born in the December Quarter 1868 at Rotherham. Fanny's parents were Samuel and Emma Hawke nee Trickett. Samuel was a mason/builder. Fred and Fanny had 5 children, 3 of which lived. They were Emma Elizabeth Corbett (1893 - 1988) and married Harold Brooke. The second was John William Corbett (1895 - ), not sure if he married. And number 3 was Harold Corbett (1896 - ) apparently the black sheep of the family. I have the 1901 census and at that time the family was altogether. In 1911, I find Fanny Corbett the head aged 41, martial status is married for 18 years. She resides at 6 Beaumont St, Hoyland Common with her single sons John William 16 Potter's assistant and Harold 14 house builders apprentice. Fanny's father Samuel lives at 72 Chapel St, Hoyland Common in 1911. He is the Head and a widower aged 71 with an occupation of builder stone mason, bricklayer. And his son Albert Hawke (39 ) single. >From the 1911 census I am missing Emma Elizabeth. AT that time she wasn't married, and she is known never to have left England, however one of her children later did, but the rest of the family stayed in England. >From the 1911 census I am also missing Fred. It is known by the family that Fred walked out on them, and the surviving grandchildren of Fred and Fanny's don't know where Fred is/buried. I can't find a death for him, I can't find another marriage, I thought he may have left to go to Canada, but I proved that wrong. There is another story, but how true it is, I don't know. And that is Samuel didn't really like Fred, even though Samuel took Fred on in the building/mason game. It is believed they had a falling out and Fred is under some stone work of Samuel's. Which I am too starting to agree with, because I just can't find him. Any help/suggestions to this weird problem is most welcome. PS - I have also contacted the Archives, they were helpful, but couldn't provide anymore information then what I have found out. Thanks very much Regards Tracey Ives South Australia
