This is sad, died age 8 - do you think its her brother?

Deaths Jun 1871
AKERS Edmond 8 Witney 3a 451

as I said earlier - my sister married an Akers here in Cardiff about fifty years ago - she now lives in Hereford but I am sure her son has a tree on here if you check for it

Below is a connection between AKERS and my BOYCE relatives in Pontypriddd South Wales. These either lived in Barry or Penarth area. My Boyce family came from Somerset and a lot of people from Somerset married others from that area after they came to Wales.

this is the Mormon LDS site wich is free also

freebmd is a totally free site from which you can get the birth marriage & death reg index in order to order a certificate. It is complete up to the early 1900's and then has varying degrees of coverage up to 1934.
the site address is freebmd.org.uk

well worth getting used to using

Can someone explain what freebmd is and how can I use it???

I was wondering how far Witney in Oxfordshire is from Cold Harbour, Wheathamsted in Herts. That is where Elizabeths' husband came from. Does anyone have an idea?

A possibility, because Union Workhouses usually took responsibility only for people from their district.
a late registration?
Births Mar 1869
Akers Elizabeth Witney 3a 704

Hi chris, I have no knowledge of a middle name the marriage lines states only Elizabeth

Hi Ann,

Thanks for that. The reason I've asked if there is a middle name is because of the births I found for Elizabeth and Edmund.On that one it's Elizabeth Mary.

Chris

just to clarify the birth reg I posted above

name = Elizabeth Ackers (not Elizabeth E. Ackers)

district = E. London

Hi Leeann,

Do you know if Elizabeth had a middle name.

Chris

I spoke yesterday with my mum, Elizabeth Akers was her Grandmother, she can remember visiting a little old lady dressed in black and seems to think that this could have been Elizabeth, she thinks the name of the road was Hyde or Hide Road in Edmonton. My mum was born in 1941 and she was very young at the time. I'm very grateful for all your help.

possible birth for Elizabeth?

Births Sep 1867
Ackers Elizabeth E. London 1c 3

Sorry peeps, I live in Germany 1 hour ahead of you all and have 3 small kids 6, 4, and 2 yrs. I have to be up early here. Oxfordshire rings a bell but I don't know why. I have the original marriage lines here. Witnessess were William Harwell or Haswell and for Elizabeth, Harriet Saunders. Elizabeth Akers married Henry Seymour, both were living in Edmonton at the time of the marriage. Date July 5th 1885. He was 22yrs, she was 18. They married in the Church of St James Edmonton. Father of Henry was Thomas Seymour and Father of Elizabeth was David Akers. Both fathers were Labourers. Certificate No 290. Many many thanks to all of you who have replied and to all of you for your help. Leeann

Thanks Ann, it is frustrating when you try to help folks straight after they ask for help to find you get no response.

Chris

I've sent Leeann a message asking her to come back to the thread

Ann
