Hi charlie...thanks for the kind offer. Please could you do census lookups for a Michael Coyne born in Alnwick, Northumberland c. 1859. I have his marriage cert (1883) which states that he is 24 years old and that his father is Michael Coyne, deceased. he married Annie Kelly in 1883 in Alnwick. and her age was 23 and father John kelly. i hyave asked before for lookups regarding Annie before she was married and i think if I remember she was really hard to find. Wonder if you can help. thanks.

Sylvia,
I looked on your thread to make sure what info you already have so as not to repeat anything. I've loked on freebmd and ancestry but I'm afraid I can't add to what you have, can't find any marriages for the girls, they may have got missed in the transcriptions.
Good luck with your search
Carol

in 1881 there are 2 Jeremiah, 1 is a boarder in Wokingham the other is a servant in Everly born 1854 and 1855!!! Don't know whi I didn't think of it before but
I think you need to order the marriage certificate for Henrietta and Jerry, that will have his fathers christain name and solve your mystery!
There is an older Jeremiah as well, b 1790

Sandra Report 7 Apr 2009 18:02

Yes please. am trying to clarify a birth line on my Grandmothers side. She was ALICE GODDARD b. 1897, Wokingham. Her parents were JEREMIAH GODDARD b. 1855 Finchampstead and HENRIETTA OLIVER b. 1870, Cove, Hants. There appears to be some confusion over JEREMIAHS parents. Think it may be NICHOLAS GODDARD b. 1815 and MARY BOULTON b. 1822, but some information is coming back as it being Nicholas' brother JESSE b. 1823

Don't want to follow one line too far back if it is completely wrong. Can anyone clear this up, or tell me how to please? Many thanks. Sandra

hi
i wonder if you could help me. I am trying to trace my grandad, we knew him as William Charles Pilfold, but apparently he was originally William Charles East. think he changed it by deed poll born 22.8.1909 died 17.7.1992. We thought he was registered at Dartford but have tried to locate the birth certificate which the records office cannot find, most of his family were from London. He was married to Violet Edith Kinch and they have 3 children, any help would be very very grateful. Jackie

Carol, Thank you for looking.
Thank you for his brother William's details, at least i know he wasnt with him!
Henry's sister Maria Sparkes is also eluding me on the 1871. Her 1 month old illigitemate child is with their parents...perhaps the two are hiding together somewhere!
