Thank you so much for your help I do appreciate it.

OK

Your family, so I’ll leave it there

Not sure that it is mine. Amelia was born Foulkes in Wales. James Nelson was born in Darcy Lever or Daubhill. Somewhere round there.

Emily is Amelia. Check birthplace

I dont think the Emily nelson above is mine. Mine was born in 1894 and called Fish.

Thank you so much for all your help, I appreciate it. :-)

Erika, do you know what year Amelia husband died? He was called James Nelson.

He was illegitimate and he was called Rodges but we didnt know who but I will order the cert. Thank you so much xxx

Sorry, you need to buy a copy of the cert"

However, as the MMN on the record is Nelson, odds are he was illegitimate. It may have been a MR Rogers, but that is speculation

William and Edith both have MMN Foulkes

Amelia’s maiden name was Foulkes - her husband was James Nelson

She’s a widow in 1901

Erika, can you view the birth of Fred Rodgers Nelson and if so does it say who his father is. Thank you

Oh goodness thank you all so much, this is great. I have just got back from uk so will have a closer look at these. Some of these addresses were unknown to me and now I know.

Thank you all again
