I'm currently struggling to locate any information on my great grandfather, James Raybould, born c1900 in England.
He married Maud Bird in 1918 in Rotherham, South Yorkshire and had two daughters:
Gladys M Raybould, born 1920 in Rotherham, South Yorkshire
Hilda Mary Raybould (my Grandmother) born 1924 in Sheffield, South Yorkshire
It is probable that James was born in the South Yorkshire area, given the marriage location, although most of the Raybould families appear to be in and around Staffordshire and Warwickshire at this time.
Damnit! Finally got around to accessing the 1911 Census.
ReplyDeleteMaud Bird isn't yet married to James (of course) and I can't find a definitive Maud with John William Bird as her father.
There's a Florence Maud Bird with John William as a father.
They live the same place as James and his family and even have the same occupation, coal workers, not surprising given the Catcliffe location.
