Hi Jo yes i,ve seen that John and the date does agree. A Jno is actually shown on the 1851 census with Isaac as the head and both Charles and Jno showing as sons. My problem is ten years later in the 1861 census, they are both still there but this time they are listed as Grandsons which means that I...

Hi all, Well the certificates arrived and it looks as though suspicions have been confirmed, well done Gardener! The birth certificate for William Richard Dawes shows Eliza Dawes as the mother with no maiden name and there is no mention of the father on the document. His marriage certificate to Emm...

I have to say at this point that they went to a lot of trouble for us including going to Lewes record office as well as possible local churches, the chaplains name was Rachel Bennett, a wonderful lady They were unable to find any b...

Hi It could well be that he is the William R Dawes that you found on BMD index in 1852. A few of my ancestors have used their middle names on marriage certs / census info. You may have to send for birth/marriage and death certs to be sure. There is a death listed for a William R Dawes in March 1/4 ...

Thanks for the lead gardener.

I have contacted them and they are checking. Alas the records that they have on hand only go back to 1958 so it might take a while to find and check any earlier ones.

wow! what can I say but a big thanks, it has certainly given me something to look at. I did send away for the birth and marriage certificates. I don't know about anyone else but these seem to be taking about 3 to 4 weeks to come through rather than the average 1 week a few months ago. I dont know i...

Can anyone please help me to trace the above person, I can do it back to 1871. Prior to that he disappears from the radar. His daughter Alice was my maternal grandma. So far: 1911 census Richard 59 & wife Emma 57 in Swanley Kent with 1 kid 1901 census Richard 49 & Emma 48 at Wilmington Kent ...

I tried Worthing Records office who checked their records for me who found nothing but gave me some other sources to try including cremotoriums. I also had no luck there until i spoke to the Parks Department who still manage a number of ceme...

Whilst still asleep I rang the doorbell and asked the landlord, who answered it, if I could come back in. 5. I was 11 years old at the time. I didn't remembera thing about i...

Hi everyone, In researching my mum's side of the family I cam across a GRO death index for her elder brother who was registered at dying at the age 0 (zero) in 1911. When I looked at the page generally I was horrified to see that 25 to 30% of the deaths were registered at age 0. A lot of them were a...
