Go to the FreeBMD site.................

Put in the surname of the Father

And put the maiden name of the Mother in the Spouse/Mother surname box.

Enter in the date range.......the year of marriage to at least ten years forward.

Good luck............get back to us if you don't succeed!! :-)

(This only works after 1911!!)

So much more exciting when you manage to find these yourself. x

If looking for children after 1911, you just enter the surnames in freebmd and those with the right combination will show up. It's up to you then to decide if they belong to the right couple.

The maiden names were not shown before 1911

Will send you a pm with possible daughter's birth for Kathleen.

Ooo Kath, i do feel silly now. thank you very much for pointing that out, in that case yes it would fit wouldnt it.

Many Thanks

Kim

Difficult to read if you're not used to the format..
Here it is broken down


Births Dec 1912 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Firman Arthur C - mother's maiden name Oakley - district Lexden - page ref : 4a 1569

1569 was the page number on the birth entry, not the year of birth. The year of birth was 1912.

Kath. x

Possible for Lilly - if she was born same area.
Again you need her full name from the marriage cert

Births Mar 1882
Oakley Lilly Elizabeth - Lexden 4a 475

Kathleen
The one i could tie with is at the top of the page which was the yr of birth 1569 which is the one i could not tie in

Thanks

The only Frederick Firman I can find born c 1886 in Essex is

Births Dec 1886
Firman Frederick Selwyn - Chelmsford 4a 420

That would fit with the birth of your Father then.

If Arthur was born 1912 then there is no reason why he could not have had your dad in 1948.

I was born 1948 and my dad was born in 1908.

Kath. x

Yes Mike that is my grand father Married to Iris Hazel Smith

Thanks

Kim

Is this your grandfather's marriage ?
which would tie in with your dad's DOB
