  1. 1.  John Ernest Postins was born about 1898 in Wndsley, Staffordshire, England (son of Ernest Postins and Louisa (Postins)).

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Census: 1901, 12 Bromley Lane, Wordsley, Staffordshire, England
    • Census: 2 Apr 1911, 18 - 19 Stourton Road, Kinver, Staffordshire, England

    Notes:

    Name:
    Up till the 1911 Census we had this boy's name as John E but that Census listed an Ernest Postins who was born the same year as John E. It is assumed that the E represented Ernest and that, in the interim, they had started calling him by his second name.

    Another possibility was that Ernest and John were twins (there father was a twin) but I ruled that out on the grounds that in the 1911 Census stats section they said they had 6 children and all were still living. We have accounted for all six

    Twin with Solomon

    Occupation:
    ** The transcribed occupation of Farmhouse Labourer makes little sense to me and I haven't found any reference to it elsewhere. But having looked at the image, I can make no better sense of it. Farmhouse servant would make more sense, although in 19th C England you would imagine that position being held by a woman, Needs more research.

    Notes:

    ** There is something wrong with Emma's recorded parents in our tree. According to the tree her parents are John Parsons and Emma (Parsons).

    But the 1852 Census which we have added to her records gives her parents as Thomas and Elizabeth.

    Which is correct?

    I could not find another Emma Parsons born in the same year so, at this stage, I think we have the wrong parents in our tree.

    I have attached the transcription of the Census for reference

    Census:
    ** We seem to have relied heavily on the 1851 Census as evidence of Emma's links to us. But her parents names on the Census do not correspond with those in our tree.
