    Hi there, So frustrated about this side of my family! I cant seem to get any further along for some reason!! Let me try and explain..........
    My great grandma is Eliza Timmins born 1929 in Longton Stoke on Trent. She has siblings Sarah Ann, Mary Ann, Joseph and James. Its her parents that are baffling me!! Through the census info that I have (2) I discovered they were Martha Ann and Joseph Timmins. Now in the 1967 census they are 36 and 35 which makes sense, yet in the 1970 census their ages say 52 and 50 didn’t they get to fill in 1971 census’s themselves???!!! I know that these are both the same family in both census. They always list themselves as being born in longton, I cannot find them on previous census! I have no clue of Martha Ann’s maiden name! No marriage info, no birth info.... I’m totally stuck! Soooo I decided to send off for my great grandma Eliza’s birth certificate! No father listed!!!!!!! Yet Martha has signed as Martha timmins her married name!?!?!? I’m determined to crack this I have a feeling something is not quite right!!!!! does anyone have any suggestions or words of advise 😬😬
    Thankyou for your time sorry for the long post!!!
