1909q3 FITZHUGH Edna 0 Chorlton 8c 451
1909q3 FITZHUGH Hilda 2 Chorlton 8c 455

It's reasonable to match these deaths up with the births.
From the one quarter gap in the first two births, we conclude there's more than one Fitzhugh family above.

If I click on the "Chorlton" link in a FreeBMD hit, then the mote info "here" link, I get to see all the subdistricts that ever were in Chorlton, viz:
Sub-districts : Ardwick, Barton, Chorlton upon Medlock, Didsbury, Gorton, Hulme, Openshaw, Rusholme, Stretford.
However, if I do an advanced search at http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ for Chorlton within refs RG13 (1901) or RG14 (1911), or both, then I find the only subdistricts in operation for these censuses were:
Didsbury, Ardwick, Chorlton upon Medlock, Hulme

Here's the local index lookup of these births from LancsBMD:

I've sorted them by subdistrict into the 3 families I guess they're from

I can only find one of these families in 1911:
This is in piece rg14/23920, a Hulme subdistrict piece #:

Maud Fitzhugh 1882 Lancs Ashton U Lyne Chorlton South Manchester Lancashire
Herbert Fitzhugh 1905 Lancs Manchester Chorlton South Manchester Lancashire
Robert Spiby 1852 Lancs Croston Chorlton South Manchester Lancashire

and even then, I'm missing Robt - I guess these are the parents:

As for our mob, they're either missing from the census, or Fitzhugh is recorded or transcribed in a way I can't guess.

are yes they have got the dates wrong on the transcript

Marian is 10.12.1904 occ unpaid domestic

Mary Alton is 22.4.1913 occ hotel waitress

Thomas McHugh 27.2.1881

Thomas junir birth is correct as 22.2.1922

a right mix up :-(


possible birth for Mary

Yes she did marry Frederick Alton and in 1939 Thomas and Thomas C Fitzhugh were living with them.
