Aren't they on ancestry missprim................give me someone to look for.

[craft1948]

Yes I've just checked the Manx censuses are on Ancestry.............

[missprim]

Oh thanks for that. I went to my local library last week as they use Ancestry but they didn't know if you can find the Isle of Man records on there.
When I go again tomorrow there will be someone there who has more idea how to use Ancestry.
I was hoping to find my great uncle but I don't know when he moved to the Isle of Man.
I only met him once where he lived in Onchan and that was about 1955, he name was William A Sellars/ers/ors.
I was hoping to find out how many children he had.
I think his wife was called Elizabeth Harriet.

[craft1948]

Haven't I looked for him before?
If I remember correctly he was in England in the 1911 census, which is the latest you can view (or have I confused him with someone else)

[missprim]

It's possible craft, I did ask a few questions on here before.
How do I find out when he moved to the Isle of Man or is that not possible?

[craft1948]

No I'm getting confused with Frederick Sellors, I think. I've no idea how you'd find when he moved there I'm afraid.

[missprim]

Never mind craft, I'm hoping I might learn more tomorrow.
Thanks to you and Mark for your replies.

This was the guy who died in 1957 wasn't it, and his wife died in 1952?

[missprim]

Yes that's right craft.
The problem I have is that when I find something I scribble it in a book and then I can't remember where I got the info from.
In my book I have written that they had a daughter Bertha who was born (I think) in 1899 and a son Joseph Arthur born 1909/10.
I'm hoping to be able to confirm that and then move on from there.

Craft I don't know if you will come back to this but I just wanted to say thank you for finding this info for me.
I went to the library and spent 2 hrs looking for this family on the 1911 census and couldn't find them.
Did you get this off Ancestry?
