Please could anyone help with the following:

My grandmother was born in Silchester on August 11, 1884; during her lifetime she applied several times for her Birth Certificate, but none came to light.

To trace this errant Certificate which Registration Office/Area would I have to apply to?

Thanking you
AD

Silchester comes under Basingstoke Registration District

If you need any help tracing the registration details then lots of members will try to help. Are you happy to put her name on the thread?

I think it comes under Basingstoke.

It's in the registration district of Basingstoke.

Thank you to all for your replies and help.

My Grandmother's name was:

Mary Jane Williams
Born August 11, 1884 at Silchester
Baptised ? at Silchester Church.

Next step

To where do I apply for the Birth Certificate of Mary Jane Williams?
Marriage Certificate of Joseph [what a middle name Montague!] and Emma Williams?

To reply I would require the cost and an sae [poss. 2]; do I email first to ascertain such details and then apply snail mail ?

Thanks for your patience

Order online at

Each cert costs £7 if you have the reference.

You need to register on the site first but this is free.

With much appreciation to ALL

This evening I have applied for the Birth Certificate [if only this had all been available when my Gran. was alive] ; and her parents Marriage Certificate. I look forward to their receipt.

They had 11 children and as with most, traversed the counties for employment in Ag. lab. with their children being born in different farm properties where they gained employment.

Their last home was indeed in Staines Mdx.

Thanks again

Ann

you are very welcome to whatever help and information we could find for you!

Come back and let us know what is on the marriage cert so they can be located on earlier census

As they say 'you will know when I know' - without all who came before us, we wouldn't be here, they have given us the legacy of Life.

HIS HER THEIR story ries.

Thanks again

Hello all

This is to let you know with much appreciation to all who helped, that I have received the Birth Certificate of my Grandmother.

Mary Jane was b. on 11 August 1884 to Joseph Montague Williams and Emma Williams formerly Marsh; Joseph's occupation is stated as Gardener and he registered the birth on 23 September 1884. The birth was in the sub district of Bramley in the county of Southampton. Reg. District Basingstoke. Funnily enough in 1919, Mary Jane Caudle [nee Williams] gave birth to her first daughter, Daisy Winifred on September 23.

Thank you everyone

I have also received the Marriage Certificate of my Grt. Grandparents. Reg. District Andover. 1877 in the Parish Church of Monxton in the county of Southampton on December 24, age full {what exactly does that mean?} Joseph was at Longparish at the time of the marriage his occupation was that of a Gardener; Emma was at Monxton, and was employed as a Servant. Father {Wms.} Adam Williams Shepherd.
Father {Marsh} William Marsh Labourer. They were married in the Parish Church by Edmund or Edward Dunford, the Rector. In the presence of:
George Williams ? Jane Pilbury.

I don't know that much about the Marsh family, but the ? is that - as far as I know Adam Williams had three brothers Charles who married Sarah Shergold {daughter of Daniel Shergold} I think they had a son Harry; William who married Sarah Ingram no issue? and Thomas who it is thought remained a bachelor.They all came from the village of Shrewton, nr Devizes in Wiltshire. So that's a bit of a puzzle.

I am still awaiting certificates in the quest for the Parmee/ Davies lineage.
I am so pleased that - even though it was not in HER lifetime - to have a copy of my Grandmother's Birth Certificate. I appreciate it as a legacy of her life, and if not for her, none of us further down the line would be here!

Hi Ann,

Thanks for coming back and giving us the news - we don't often get to hear the end of the story!

'Full age' means they were over 21 - and therefore didn't need parental consent to get married.

Best wishes,
janice
