Forums Forums Wirral History : Chasing the Past History Information Request anyone got Folio Views 4.2 for 1881 search

has anyone got Folio Views 4.2 used for better searches in the 1881 census cd set
I would like to be able to search by street or occupation building etc
It is an advanced query prog so you put any word in and search for it

The 1881 census cds are on 25 discs and I'm not too sure if it only costs £10 now I paid £30 for mine at the time at familysearch.org

I know you can search online but would like to search better than just by surname

i havent used it for a couple of years, but I remember searching by street in the area.
Got ancestry now if you need any help.

yes please
I'm searhing for my John Thomas (no jokes please}

John Richard Thomas married Sarah Ann Roberts on birth certificate of my grandmother in Birkenhead 1893

I believe they were married in Oswestry but nearest possible one in 1881 census is a nephew
Would like to find (if so) who his parents were

ps did you have Folio Views I would like to do a 1881 search by pubs/hotels in Wirral if possible (ie ones I haven't heard of)

Would be grateful for any help

have you got them in 1901 census and 1911?

what was his job on birth certificate.

any info would help with earlier searches.

i have found them in 1901 census, they "could" have been married before 1891 cos of the age of the eldest child who was 13, born in Chirk.

could this be the marriage
Marriages Dec 1887

ROBERTS Sarah Oswestry 6a 1295
THOMAS John Richard Oswestry 6a 1295

Think this is going to be long thread so will take via messenger.

house joiner (journeyman)
I am presuming since my nan was 2nd or 3rd child of marriage
(USUALLY MENS MARRIAGE AGE 20/25 YEARS OLD) he was born about 1868 give or take 5 years

Sorry have no access to 1901 1911 census
On birth cert DATED 1893 they lived in 5 Harriet St Claughton USD

Sarah Ann Thomas formerly Roberts is on the birth cert

This thread may be interesting to others that are reseaching their family trees tho

Can I get a marriage certificate from the details you found if so how

please pm the census details

yes you can phone up the gro office in southport and order the certificate with those details or do it on line

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/

it now costs £9.25 for a certificate,. do not pay anymore for it. You have to register but thats for free! look for marriage cert and then add the details. not sure on the time for delivery at the moment.

as for the census like you can only find the same one as you in 1881, but have found them in 1891, 1901 and 1911.
put your email address in a pm and i will email them to you.

struggling with 1871 cos it doesnt say a John R Thomas just a John Thomas, so may have to wait for marriage cert.

As for the pubs,, you may be best getting hold of a directory and looking for a list of pubs.

have a look on
