On 1911 census he was listed as living with his parents and siblings at 83 Linton Heath. I've checked on BMD birth index and only 2 William Summers' were registered around the correct year. Looking at the 1891 census the one registered in 1888 was born in Oakthorpe and the one registered in 1889 was born in Moira. William appears to have been the eldest son of Henry Summers (1866 Moira) and Sarah A Summers (nee Dennis - needs checking with marriage certificate). Siblings were Amos (1891 Kinsley, Yorks), Reuben (1893 Moira), Joseph (1899 Linton), Ernest W (1900 Linton, Derbys), John (1904 Linton), Sarah (1908 Linton) and Harry (1909 Linton). In the 1901 census Joseph is staying with his grandparents, William and Ruth Dennis (nee Wright - needs checking with marriage certificate). It's likely that Ruth is my 2x gt aunt.

Dear cbird55,
Great to hear from you, thanks so much for the information about the Summers family! My Gran is very hazy about her family history as it seems nobody discussed things like that back then.
It is definitely the right family as I recognise some of the names she gave me. I've found it harder to trace her side as I have no paperwork for anyone.
Very excited to have some new leads......now I'm wondering how Amos came to be born in Yorkshire.
Do you know where Ruth and William lived?
Kind regards, Sarah.

William Summers is on my tree - born 1889 in Donisthorpe (Stone Row was just a few yards away - parents Cornelius Summers & Sarah Ann Sherratt. Family lived in Stone Row & School Row later according to the Censuses.
Cornelius was the son of William Summers & Sarah Sharp both of Measham. Sarah Sharp was half-sister of my direct ancestor John Sharp. I have more info on this family.
Hope this helps.

Hi Geraldine, thanks for your reply!
Cornelius was William's cousin. My Gran knew him as "Uncle Nealy". I didn't have any information about Cornelius so I'm glad you got in touch. I've found it more difficult to work out the family with members spanning two counties.

Only just joined this group. I knew Amos, John, Ernie and Harry Summers. Amos is the grandfather of my cousins. Amos married Mary Sales, they had one son Ronald who married Louisa Whetton (my dad's sister), they in turn had two son's Alan and Malcolm. John, Ernie and Harry always lived with Amos and Mary at 23 Linton Heath. Ernie married late in life to a widow Alice Jones and moved to 25 LH. The brothers and their wives have now all passed away, my uncle Ron passed away as a result of a road accident on Boxing Day 1979, my aunt Lou having passed in 1973. We lost touch with Malcolm when he moved out of the village but Alan and his family still live in Linton. I showed Alan the posts but he had no idea that Amos was born in Yorkshire. The daughter of Nealy Summers still lives in Linton with her family

William Summers is my great great grandad, came across this thread years after the you posted, I have his birth certificate. His son (my grandad) George Cyril Summers passes away in 1993 lived in Overseal. I would love to be able to trace some family as I understand there was not much contact between my Grandad and his siblings.
