Anyone else into seeking their ancestors?

[darksideofthemoon]

I have become adicted to Ancestry.com and am lucky enough that one side of my family can be researched way back into the dim times.

The other side has hit a brick wall and I have to wait until someone else in the world may have more information.

How is everyone else going?

I know I should be doing something else, but i just wanted to double check something.

There is only one other marriage between a James Rostron and an Elsie (in the correct timeframe) and it was in the second quarter of the year, so they would have had to married on the 1st April for me to have the worng Elsie in that census.

Flashie, its possible that they just got Leeds wrong, or maybe their suburb is in Leeds or something.

Anyway, I have things to do, see you later 😄

I just found the two possible marriages in 1911.

James Rostron married Elsie Morgan (Bolton Lancashire 2/4)

James Rostron married Elsie Lumb (Prestwich Lancashire 1/4)

Now we just need to seperate the two.

We can rule out Elsie Morgan............she was born in gloucestershire.

The Elsie Lumb I found before....daughter of Frank is living in Leeds Road in 1911 with her parents....unmarried aged 20.

I am still leanig toward this one.....
