Hi Brenda I have sent you a private message I hope you can get it - with more details on. Let me know, thanks Lisa x

Hi Brenda Thank you so much for getting in touch, this is fantastic. Yes Sarah Elizabeth - where to start? this is going to sound weird but it is all true... she marries Thomas Shotton in 1882 and has 2 children as you have said Florence 1883 and Maude 1886. She leaves them and then lives with...

thanks I think this must have happened in my case then. Can I ask were infants always registered? I can't find the daughter who would have been 2 or 3 years old - she died only last year and had always talked about the journey she took when she was 3 years old on the ship to Canada. thanks...

Hi I am trying to find my great Granda and Grandmother and their first child on passenger lists from the UK to Canada in 1912 or 1913. I can not find them at all but I have noticed that on some of the lists I can see what looks like a wife travelling alone - was this normal? Am I looking at...

thanks Steve - much appreciated! x

Hi I want to request a birth cert for my Great Granda on my dad's side and I can't read the page no to request it. Can you look at Births for Robert (Hilton) Percival - date of - Oct,Nov,Dec in 1902. I have the 10a 10?? but can't read the page No fully. thanks Lisa

this is great, thanks so much. :) :) :)

Hi, I have been looking for the marriage of my Great, Great, Great grandparents and have found nothing. I don't understand why i can't see it. He was a chief of police in Derby so I am assuming he would have been married if he put it down on a census and birth certificates of his children...

thanks guys, Josie I think you may be right. I have her birth cert and have worked out that she would have been 19 at her first marriage. (Marrying a 26 year old) I have read somewhere about the full age being 21 and consent being required before that. Her father was high up in the police force...

Hello Can anyone help me please. I two marriage certificates and a birth certificate for the same person but her age on the marriage certificates is wrong. On her first marriage she should be 19 but it says 21 and on the second marriage she should be 33 but is down as 30. She was older than...

thanks Julie. It is strange one isn't it - I can't get my head around the fact that she has two children and leaves them with their father whilst she goes off with someone else and has two more children and then calls them almost the exact same names. :confused: I can't find a divorce and...

help please After Dave pointed me in the direction of an earlier marriage of Sarah Elizabeth Whieldon to a Thomas Forskett Shotton I have become a bit confused because the names are all the same. Am i on the right track?? Sarah marries Thomas in 1882 in Belper, Derby. She has a daughter Maud...

wow - thank you all so much for the lovely words and especially a big thanks to Dave. A lot of what you have said I have come across but I have not understood it fully so thank you loads. I will look into it more. thanks so much x :)

thanks so much for your help Julie. Flora Booth was born (according to the 1901 census) in 1892 in Kidsgrove, Staffordshire and is a daughter to the person i am researching who is Sarah Elizabeth Booth formerly Whieldon. Basically Sarah has a daughter called Maud who is my great grandmother...

Hi My name is Lisa and I am researching my family history on my Granda's side of the family as something he wanted me to do. I am find it addictive but also a bit tricky. If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be most welcome. My granda has a story from the family that he...
