No need to nudge.........we've had to wait for you to come back!!!!


Assuming your problem starts with Eleanor'.................

Eleanor Alexandra's father was William Henry.

Do you have her birth cert to confirm the name of her mother? You refer to ' William and Eleanor's marriage', without giving her surname.

Is this the right birth?

Name: Eleanor Alexandra Baker
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1863

Hello,

I'll give you what I'm sure of then the prob

My father George William Hyde b Princess End,Tipton bJuly 1910 d April 1979 his father, his father George Cleaton Hyde b 1885 d 1943 born in Sedgley
his father John Hyde b1850 d 1925 he married Eleanor Alexandra Baker 1863 - 1947 they married in 1884 all above are 100% correct E A's father William Henry Baker 1829-1874 born in Kingswinford Now this is where I have the problem I have William & Eleanor's Marriage cert and his father is Thomas Baker the info I've found is TB b abt 1805/1806 Kingswinford married to a Phebe/Phoebe The marriage for them is 23rd September 1827 Her name Phoebe Carter b abt 1807 Sedgley There children W H b 1829 John 1831 Eliza 1832 Elizabeth 1836 Margaret 1839 also on 1851 census there is a Deborah b1844 but I cannot find any other reference for her
Hope you can understand this

Mary

before you send for certificates it may be worth looking at the site staffordshirebmd.org.uk as some maiden names are recorded on the births - you may be lucky

I am only guessing that is the area you are looking at from your 'researching' bit

I'll be happy to join in if you want to give us the info as Reggie suggests.J

You must bear in mind that the certs may not be availalble. Until 1875, there were no penalties for not registering births

Perhaps we could try to help you?

A different 'slant' on things sometimes proves effective.

You must have worked back from yourself, so certain info you will be 100% sure of.............tell us where the query lies, - if you wish to, of course.

UK Birth certificates since their introduction in 1837 have always shown what is believed to be the mothers maiden name,

Hello,

I have a problem and not to sure how to solve it, I have been in contact with a lady who has the same 3* GGrandparents as myself we have the same births and the same marriage for them but their children are totally different she as followed hers through to herself so have I so one of us must have the wrong marriage at the start trouble is I have found the people in both trees and the names and place of birth are both the same so how do I find the other marriage On her tree 2 of the children have the parents names on mine they do not and I know a lot of families followed through with names I do have 2 children b 1839 and 1844 on my tree would it give mothers maiden name if I got one of the certs my 2 by G grandfather was born 1829 so I cannot get his cert

Regards
Mary :-(
