Find Ancestors

Maureen :-)

Looking at Thomas Chambers' WW1 record taught me something....I didn't realise there were potentially several pages to scroll through. So now I have to look at all the WW1 records I have (thankfully not too many) and see what pages I hadn't looked at previously!

JUDE-you are now my new BFF.

Thank you,
Maureen <3

Amanda...

As requested several times can you post all the details on the marriage including occupations and witnesses.

But for my point can you get the birth certificate out ...

At the bottom where it says

CERTIFIED to be a true copy of an entry blah blah..what is the date?

I really think that 90% of this thread is a huge red herring, because I agree with Maureen, George and Ruth are not your ancestors at all.

Amanda,

Read the 3rd and 4th posts of page 1 again and then get back to us when you are looking at the marriage certificate.

Amanda,

I don't think we can help you any more as you are not answering questions.

3 times you've been asked to post the ALL details from the marriage cert

Rose

Hi Amanda,
You forgot to tell us the names of the witnesses on the marriage certificate!

Gee-Thomas St comes up again,eh???? Hmmmm.

Maureen

My dad birth cert is the real one
Annie my nan die in 1962

bertrum her hubby die in 1973

Also, the birth cert you dad had, when was it issued? I'm thinking it wasn't given to him by your nan, but that he ordered it sometime later, and he got the incorrect one.

When did your nan die and under what name?

Rose

Amanda,

The marriage cert should list occupations, witnesses, ages and addresses as I mentioned earlier. We really need you to tell us what it says.

Rose

hiya there on my nan marriage cert is correct she married bertrum knox in 1932 on there marriage it listed annie dad as thomas chambers and bertrum father as leonard knox (Decised) they married at St peter church in stoke, stoke-on trent

annie and bert had three kids

Sylvia knox 1933
Eileen 1936
Thomas 1938 my father

they lived in thomas street in stoke

l am very limited about what l know about my dad family as he would never talk about them as all

Right. That's a different fellow altogether,I think. Too many Colcloughs in one area!!!! :-D :-D

Maureen
