Find Ancestors

Hi I am struggling with this side of my family. I have:

John Whilesmith 1827 born in Dudley, married to
Jeanie 1830 also born in Dudley (nor sure if dates are
correct.
Henry Whilesmith (son) 1850 born in Sheffield
Amelia Binns 1855 born in Birmingham (same applies)

Margery Whilesmith born 1893 in Sheffield (that one is right)

Can anybody give me any further information on this family please.

Thank you, Granny

Were Margery's parents Henry Whilesmith and Amelia Binns?

Yes Jill, that is right. Do you have any information
please? I am desperate on this one.

Granny

What info are you looking for?

Before 1827? Or after 1893?

Reg

Before 1827, you will need parish registers.have you checked the IGI?

Reg

Thanks Reg. Can you find anything further back than 1827(?) for John Whilesmith, ie his parents?

Granny

Amelia in 1881

Amelia Jane Binns Enoch,Jane abt 1869 Birmingham, Daughter Birmingham, Warwickshire

Reg

I do not know how to check the IGI, or what it is. How do I go about it?

John's marriage should be on freebmd........if you obtain the cert, it will tell you the name and occupation of his father

Regb

There is a thread on tips all about the IGI

You may find it helpful.......

Reg

I've just checked the IGI....no sign of John.....sorry.

Reg

Thanks Reg, I hadn't any of that before.

The Whilesmiths seem to be elusive. I have birth certificate for Margery (my Grandmother) so I know it is the right name, but yet they just seem to have vanished.
