Not seeing your mother on the 1911 at the moment

If you dont have the births or marriage certs you should purchase them to find out the mothers maiden names to go back further without making mistakes

jax do you think may be there is a spelling mistake as the clarence on the transcript is spelt clarance.

George Richard

George Richard Report 27 Aug 2012 19:32

sorry clarancs not clarence.

jax

jax Report 27 Aug 2012 19:38

you have to remember a lot of our ancestors were illiterate and did spell things wrong

My gt grandfather recorded my grandmother as Elsey when it should have been Elsie

Also their writing was bad and the transcribers have to record what they see even if they think it is wrong
