I am trying to find a marriage for Florence M Spratt. I think her husbands surname might have been Freeman and they lived in Jersey Channel Isles. They were born about 1892 and that is the only info I have.

CI bmd's are not on line

If you wish to attract the attention of anyone who MAY be able to help, you need to include the location in your title

This is only from a tree at Ancestry but it might be something to work on


Florence A Spratt
Spratt / Edwards Family Tree
Birth: Abt 1894 - Jersey, Channel Islands
Parents: James Spratt, Ellen Spratt
Spouse: Frederick Freeman


You could maybe contact the tree owner?

Is that info from a tree at Ancestry or an actual record?

I cant find it!

Janet

Janet Report 21 May 2012 17:57

It's from an actual record. I searched using Florence M Spratt, born 1892 and Spouse Freeman. A Florence A Spratt comes up so I clicked Show More Like That. I hope you can find it.

Gee

Gee Report 21 May 2012 18:18

Im just not seeing that info?

It is Ancestry youre looking on?

What category are looking under please

I'm under 'All Family Trees for Florence M Spratt. Is it ok to copy the link to you? Would I be breaking any code of ethics?

Gee

Gee Report 21 May 2012 18:49

Oh no...I thought I was going nuts!


What you posted is at Ancestry but its not a record, its someones public family tree!

No problem, thanks for explaining

Trees can be a good resource to give you a lead but they are not fact, you have to find the actual records to prove it's correct. You never know if the tree owners info is correct

Some people work on 'family' hearsay, which is not 'fact'


Janet

Janet Report 21 May 2012 19:18

Thanks for that information. Back to the drawing board.

Gee

Gee Report 21 May 2012 19:33

No problem Janet :-)
