Hello all II,m back again with another query was looking for Elizabeth maiden name earlier this month NL looked this up for me couldnt find it but suggest ed I get a copy of birth cert of one of the kids ok how do I ? what do I need to know to obtain one many thanks for your help regards Graham

Hi Graham

Ok you need to ensure that one of the kids is born when civil registration began
so think it is sept 1837 so can you give us one of the kids names you are going to look for and we can tell you which registration office to go for.

There are 2 ways to do this

1. apply via the local registry office either via post- in person - or on line

2. send a request to the GRO in southport with the volume and ref no on

so tell us which kid and we will guide you further.
If it is around Dudley I go on line via their online dept -

ps have you checked the census all the ones that have this couple on just incase they got her inlaws living with them...

do you think by the way that the Worton for mary was correct?

Hello NL Firstly Im happy with the Mary Worton one and no havnt checked the census for inlaws hadnt thought of it thanks Margaret is the one b1845 there was also twins Henry n William b 1843 and a Maryann b1847 Graham

Hi Graham

which area are they born then I can have a look see what is coming up? Dudley, Rowley do you have where born on the census for these?

hya sorry for the delay this comp playing up they were born Halesowen ok

Ok do you know of the bmsgh site?

If you go on there it has coverage for some of the areas up to certain dates and is very helpful for birth marriage and death info
so I found this one
1844
CLIFT Margarett Oldbury Sandwell Register Office OLD/6/239

So looks a good one

You can either apply via Sandwell register office send a cheque and the form of the bmsgh site for this certif.
Or go on line via the GRO service or again send them a cheque
still stuck holla
