Hi,

Can anyone see they can find Joseph Ackers born in 1884 (freebmd says Dec Q 1884, familysearch says 26 Nov 1884) in Manchester in either the 1891 or 1901 census ?

In 1911, he seems to be at an institution in Prestwich (just north of Manchester) while his wife Lillian and daughters Alice and Marion are in Prestwich. They married in 1906. (Sadly, he died 1 Jul 1916 around Thiepval, France, in one of the Somme Battlefields)

I would like to find out if this Joseph Ackers who married my gg aunt Lillian Beever, is in some way related to my 5xg grandfather Joseph Ackers born about 1771.

Edit - familysearch is bringing up a Joseph Ackers b 1885 Manchester in the 1901 census as resident in West Thurrock Essex (relationship to head of household: Inmate Under Rep Act Vic Chap 29-30) but I cannot pick up the entry on Ancestry. If familysearch is right, his parents look like Joseph and Jemima.


Thanks

Diane
