I have been trying to find my great grandfather William Woodruff for about 10 years now. He says he was born in Glossop Derbyshire c 1833, but his death certificate gives him dying in 1918 at age 89, so that makes his birth date earlier. I can't find him on 141 and 1851 census, so I don't have his parents, except that he says his father was Edward Woodruff on his marriage certificate in Limerick Ireland in 1860.
The nearest I can find is in Tideswell in 1841/51 living with Martha and Samuel Yates. But not sure that she is his mother as I can't find a marriage for Martha to Edward on IGI.
I would be eternally grateful if some kind person could point me in the right direction, or even find him then.
I live in hope.
