Hi guys,

I'm trying to get a bmd index reference for my ancestor Richard Wilson Cross Boocock (b. 1857) so I can order a certificate and find his parents! I've had a trawl through ancestry.co.uk but can't seem to find a Richard Wilson Cross Boocock for that date?? Any ideas please?

Here's what I have for him so far:


1857 BirthBarrow in Furness, Lancashire, England
1882 Jun Age: 25 Marriage to Margaret Jane MattinsonBarrow in Furness, Lancashire, England
1891 Age: 34 Census1 Strand, Harbour Hotel.Barrow in FurnessRichard Cross, 35. Beer house manager
1901 Age: 44 Census1 Strand, Harbour Hotel, Barrow in FurnessRichard Cross, head, 45, Hotel Manager, Lothersdale, Yorks
1903 Mar Age: 46 DeathCumbria, Cumberland, United KingdomDeaths Mar 1903. Boocock Richard Wilson. 46. Whitehaven. 10b. 450.

Thanks,
Darren

Have you got his marriage cert? That should have fathers name on it and witnesses may help.
