I grateful for all the help I've received but puzzled by the 1911 census. At the end what I think are 2 sisters Gertrude Helen born 1900 and Mabel born 1901/1902 but say they are Edinburgh residents. If that's right why would they be on the census for England and why would they be at school in Edinburgh? Don't know if any connection.

William and Ann nee Pitt married in 1856 in Cheltenham. Does anyone know if they had other children as well as William born 1862?
Thank you
Pat

according to the 1901 census William was born in 1862. I always thought he was born 1867. His wife and children are correct so I am confused. I'll have to have a rethink.
Thanks. Pat

I wonder if some kind person would try and find a death for William .Coulston who was born in Bolton. Lancashire in 1867. He went on to marry .Clara Laycock in Burnley, Lancashire 1891. I have found deaths for 2 of the same name 1920 and 1943 but they are not the same as they were both born 1862. I did think that my William died during the Boar War but I'm not sure.
In the British newspaper archives there is an obituary to the William who died 1920. It's in the Burnley express but I think he was born in 1862.
Many thanks.
Pat
