Find Ancestors

I am trying to research my family tree and have just hit a brick wall. I am looking for anyone from my Hunt family

Need more info please

Hi Emma and welcome to the GRboards

We will need more info from you to try and help.

We need names places and dates. Let us know what you have found and what info you are looking for. lots of people here to help

Andy

Have you tried putting names under Search Trees at the top of the page, to see if anyone on here has them in their tree?

If you need help with a specific problem, post all the details here and somebody will help.

Please give as much info as you can: where and when born, spouses and childrens' names, etc; any certs you have and any census info.

Thanks guys, i have got as far back as 1834. Hunt family from Hampshire mainly i dont know who im looking for exactly though so dont really have much info. Ive not done this before so not entirley sure what im doing to be honest. I also have Stones on that side of the family too and Dixon. On the other side i have Rigley, Stones (different to the other side) and Harlott.

Really hope someone can help

Unfortunately Emma this is still not enough to enable anyone to help you.

As Potty says you need to give specific names, not just surnames. Start with what you know for sure, maybe your grandparent's names and the years and places they were born, great grandparents would be even better.

hmmm i dont know what to do now then, im completely stuck as i just want to research myfamily tree and find relatives i dont know about etc

Emma, what are your grandparents' names?

i have found my grandparents and great grandparents already

Then what are your great grandparents' names?

Emma

If you wish to have help, you will have to provide names, dates, and locations.

Nobody on here can guess who you are looking for.

You have to help us to help you...........................

How have you got back to 1834? Which records have you accessed?

Hi Emma

the best place to start is with your parents then do one side at a time. ie father, grandparents g grandparents etc

if you go off in other directions too soon it will all become confusing.

You can start inputting to your own tree on this site which will enable you check back on the family you have found.

plenty of good sites with free info online and once you start concentrating on one particular part of the family you will find it much easier and if you get stuck with a certain person people on here are willing to help, but can't help if you dont know what help you need if that make sense


sites to use to check marriages births deaths etc (you will need to buy certificates to confirm these though)

freebmd
familysearch.org have lots of records which are free to search too and some census returns

Emma, there are many people here more than willing to help you but we need a name as a starting point. I don't understand your reluctance to even give us one name. You did ask for help, help us to help you.

Hi again, sorry ive not been on for a while been very busy. Thankyou for all of your willingness to help, i am very grateful. My great grandmother is Kathleen Brader and great grandad William Stones,there is also Mary Peck and Frank Rigley. On the other side is Kathleen Dixon and Edward Stones, i dont know my other great grandparents, i dont even know there names, i thnk their surname is Hutt (im not 100% sure though)

Do you mean you have Stones on both sides of your tree? This is one of the marriages:

Marriages Mar 1939 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brader Kathleen H Stones Spilsby 7a 873
Stones William H Brader Spilsby 7a 873

Marriages Sep 1941 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Peck Mary Rigley Nottingham 7b 779
Rigley Frank Peck Nottingham 7b 779

Have you tried looking on freebmd for the births of these people?

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/

Is the name HUTT.......or HUNT?

You have given both surnames.................

Do you know when these people died?

If we can find their deaths, we can get an idea of when they were born

I think you are trying to do too much, too soon.

You should concentrate on one line at a time........especially as you are new to this, and unfamiliar with how to search.
