Thank you Cid but the first one is definately not my grandmother. Her father was Fred and her mother was Maria Harriett Whiff. I have managed to trace back her parents and grandparents too before my ancestry,com membership expired. My father's biological father would have been in London as that is w...

Why is it that everywhere you go on the internet seems blocked by one thing or another? Everyone wants payment for the smallest peek of information even if you find it means nothing. And then, when you search for free stuff you get the royal runaround! First you get a web page that shows you heaps o...

Ooh Thank you Mark, I'll do just that - most interesting!

Hello again! I have a 1901 census print out which states that my great grandmother, then age 15.

I got 6 out of 10 straight away - have to think on the other 4.

Thanks Northern Lass. I have to be very careful with sensitive stuff here. I am looking for my dad's biological father. (My brother is angry with me for doing this because he thinks I am being unfair to my dad advertising something that he was ashamed of. And the fact that my dad is no longer with u...

Is there a way we can find out where a certain person was living and working between censuses? ie: 1913?

Hi Londonlover - as your name suggests, are you based in London UK?

Births Sep 1886 Haggarty Frederick Islington 1b 228 and this is his marriage Marriages Dec 1906 HAGGARTY Frederick Edmonton 3a 948 Le D...

Is this where I ask for advice? My maternal grandparents separated when my mother was very small, around 1930 or so and my grandmother remarried. My mother found her dad when she was married, which would have been in the late 1940's. She heard that he had died probably a few years after that, perhap...
