Find Ancestors

Many thanks to you all for these tips.

My grandfather's ocupation is given as "Artist" and that ties in with some pictures and sketch books in our possession.

There has been no problem searching for my Grandmother's family as they all appear to have settled in Northwich and her father died there in 1910 aged 78.

With the help of the local Family Historical Society her in Australind Western Australia we had also found the Clifford Mortimer from Somerset but are not wholly convinced that the two Cliffords are in fact one and the same.

There has been a suggestion that perhaps Clifford' surname was not originally Mortimer, but his mother may have remarried and he adopted the surname.

nearest birth so far but hardly London!

Name: Clifford Mortimer
Year of Registration: 1865
Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun
District: Bridgwater
County: Somerset
Volume: 5c
Page: 483

ok so I cheated
1911 he was in Chorlton Lanc born 1861 London , painter/artist
Adelaide born 1884 ANDERTON NORTHWICH

Do you have his place of birth info from the 1911 census? That would probably be a huge help!

Also, from the marriage certificate:
Clifford's occupation
witnesses' names
bride's father's name

You never know what tidbit might lead to something.

I am trying to find my Grandfather, Clifford Mortimer, who married Adelaide Coe in 1904 in Fylde. His age was given as 44 so his d.o.b. would be circa 1860. His father's name was Joseph Mortimer who was a coach trimmer but was deceased at the time of my grandparents' wedding.

My grandparents had 3 children, one of whom died within the same year that he was born (1912). My father, Sydney, was born in 1915 and his sister, Kathleen, was born in 1913

My granndfather does not seem to appear on any census prior to 1911.

I would be grateful for any information
