Hello. Can anyone help me in finding James Crabtree( born Abt 1875/6/7) in the 1911 census.He was married with family.I have got the 1911 census, his wife Florence and children are there and they are living in Shipley West Yorkshire, he does not appear on the census.I know he was still alive, as he did not die until the 1920's.

where was he born? what occupation?

Hello. He was born Windhill Shipley Yorkshire.Occupation Cart Driver. As he is not with family, I assumed he must be out working or staying at another address??
Thank You

there are 12 James' on a +/- 2 years span none give Windhill or Shipley on birth and no Carters - couple of labourers...

Hello again. Thank you for your kind reply. Can you please tell me if any stated Bradford Yorkshire as Windhill/Shipley is somewhat in the same area. Thank You MGT

sorry, nothing for any of those three area's as birthplace - aldo just done born York* and all bar one that I found were married and shows the wife - the one not married is a book-keeper James Edward 32 b Bradford with mum Elizabeth Ann Crabtree 58 living in Bradford with 2 siblings

Hello again. Well I want to say a very big thank you for all your time and help in trying to find James.
No the one you state is not the one I want. His wife was Florence together with the 4 children is living@ 28 Briggate Shipley Yorkshire in the 1911 census.
Well, he is the one who got away, must have been in hiding I think.
I want you to know how very grateful I am to you for trying so hard to find him for me. Many many thanks MGT

You are most welcome - hope the look-up's have helped
