Trying to find the above in 1891 census, and his marriage to Ellen ?? in 1877.
I have found the family in 1911 census In 1911 they where in Hoxton London, and most likely married in London.
I have found in the past that the name cane be spelt wrong
Any help please?

Thank you for your help, and the link to the old thread. Unfortunately part of my tree has got lost on GR and I have had to rebuild, so the old links are a great help.
How do you get back to them? would be helpful , I think

Chris Ho :) Report 14 Jul 2016 10:15

Look to left of page here, see 'Tools'...(then click My threads)

(or just google search, Rensch Pauline genes)

Chris :)

(very often, just using google search to find if anything relating to names, brings up old 'Threads', which is how they turn up!)

Pauline

Pauline Report 14 Jul 2016 17:05

Chris Thanks for that, unfortunately they where in another account, which I am now not able to access, even though I have asked GR , and my memory going back to 2013 is not that good

In case you haven't realised - Clicking on green writing in Chris Ho's post @ 1837 should take you to the threads - same with the National Archives link she posted.

GREYGHOST
Thanks again , I did click , it is very helpful to me to be able to go back on the old research, as some has got lost, now trying to repair and go further back if possible, as I believe somewhere that there was a name change, and would like to follow it, as i was led to believe that the family originated from abroad, sounds germanic .
I was fortunate to know most of that family, except my grand mother (Mary Ann) as she died leaving my mother and uncle orphans aged 6 and 8 .But they where brought up by Ellen B (Aunt) who had no children, but was married to grandfathers brother.
So ALL your help again , much appreciated
