Find Ancestors

Thank you Jenny,

That would be much appreciated,
I have sent you details regarding as much as I know in reply to your message that you sent me.
Thank you once again.

Avril

Hi Avril, I live in Tynemouth, North Shields Library has a good Local Studies department. I have to go there in the next few days to do some research for another couple of members.

Wil make some notes and see what I can find for you.

Jenny.

Hi Christina,
A big thank you again, it looks as if Hilda must have been married under a different name and that her mother also named Hilda must have had her to another male, its so amazing what you can find out, I am unsure as to where anyone in the rest of the family on my Mothers side got married as they used to move around quite a bit,
All I can remember is they resided in Tynemouth, North Shields, Whitley Bay, Barking in Essex,and various households in London.
I can not thank you enough for all your hard work,
Av

Hi Christina,
Thanks for finding my uncle Joe,I never knew that he seems to hold the same name as his father I am not sure if Hilda was the eldest or 2nd eldest all I know about her is that she married a Charles Keeley and that they had 2 daughters one of which was named kathleen
born around 1963 ish I am sorry I cant be of more help with my information,,,
but thank you for all your help

Hi Christina,
I was wondering if my grandfather Joseph Brooks was not married to Hilda Capewell when they had a son also called Joseph and a daughter also named Hilda as my mother Winifred was born in 1935 and she was not the eldest child and the information of their wedding was in 1933 as you found for me
Marriage for Winifred's parents....

Marriage registered in Jul/Aug/Sep 1933
Names: BROOKS Joseph W. & CAPEWELL Hilda
District: Mansfield
Vol: 7b
Page: 334

as I stated in earlier posts I was not told much as a child whether this was due to me being adopted I am not sure,
Thanks for everything else you have found out for me so far
Av

Thank you Paula and Heather,
I will have to send off for
the certificate as I have no visa card,
Christina has helped me with some dates for my fathers side ,so I am going to start from there.
Av

Hi Christina,
Wow I am so amazed at what you have found in a few hours I have only been doing it for 4 months and had found nothing, with the dates they sound correct, I only had rough estimates of dates that I had tried to remember from being a child and I am pretty sure that all the dates tally.
A really big thank you for all the details you have found for me so far, you are a star.
Thank you.
Av

These are only a guess until you confirm them with details from Ernest & Winifred's birth certificates.

As Paula & Heather have already advised, order the certificates for your parents first of all. They will give you their parents names.

Hi Avril

If you order the certificates for your parents you can then work backwards and see what other info you can find out about your family.

There are a lot of people on here only to willing to help, which I have found out myself in the past.

Good Luck

Regards Paula

Christina,
i wish you worked for the BMD you are fantastic, i think i am going to try and get some sleep as my brain is now like a shed,i will try and resume my search again tomorrow evening, if you find out any more information it would be really and truly appreciated .
Thanks a million
Av

You're welcome. You made them easy to find by providing the years.

Shame about the 14 day free trial, they must know that not everyone wants to have a credit card. I wonder if you can register by switch/delta?

But anyway, members on here are more than willing to do look ups...so don't be afraid to ask.

Christina
you are a star,i wish i had you as a neighbour,,,,
i have only been a member of genes reunited for a few months and have only managed to find family members from my husbands side due to people with hot matches so i was really getting excited but when it came to my side i just kept drawing blanks and ever wondered if i would ever find out anything about them you have done a wonderful job as i have not got that much information to start with.
Many thanks once again.
Av

Hi Christina
tried the ancestry and you have to have a credit card for the 14 day free trial ,unfortunately i have not got one so that area is a no go ,,,thanks anyway i am willing to try anything ,would love to find out my family tree so that my daughter has some knowledge of her family too
thanks
Av

Hi Christina,
I know that Joseph was born on 18/12/1954 and named Joseph Edward Scott Linney , i also know that my Mother had another son born approx 1956 in the month of february he may have been registered as Jackie Hamilton in London but he was not Ernests son,
hope that may be of some help too you it is so hard to have all the facts as with me being adopted i was not told much about the family all i have is what i can myself remember
many thanks for all your hard work
Av

Do you know when Winifred & Ernest's eldest child was born?

That will help to give an approx year for their marriage.


p.s. I've re-written their birth ref. details to make it easier to understand.

hi

the numbers at the side are the page and volume no.
when applying for a certificate ,there will be boxes for you to fill in.
fore name.
surname
registration district
mothers maiden name
page no.
volume no.

Avril

If you go to

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/

then click on order certificates

then you will see the information they ask for relates to the numbers that people have given you on the birth references, certificates cost £7 and should (not always) reach you in 7-10 days.

The complete BMD indexes 1837-2005 are available on Ancestry.co.uk.

Subsciption charges vary between £60-£80 per year, but are well worth the cost for the amount of information and records available.(Census,BMD,WW1 Army Records etc.)

You can have a free 14 day trial, before you subscribe.

Hi Maureen,
Thanks for looking i believe this may be what i am looking for as in their births, but i am unsure of how to check out these numbers that are given at the side so sorry to be a nuisance.
Thanks again
Av
