Member Since: April 2005 Posts: 156 Send Message	Hi Rebecca i know this thread is a year old and i hope you managed to sort the grave out for your Uncle. I wondered if you were still researching this Horrocks line ? I have Horrocks from Aughton back to the 1600's including Daniels and Georges. Regards Sue

	If it was my problem I would start with the uncle's birth certificate followed my his parents marriage cert and then their birth cert and so on... till you can prove the unbroken line. Could be expensive, it depends how much proof the vicar needs to use George's grave.

Member Since: January 2013 Posts: 8 Send Message	Thanks so much for that help :) what do you think I should do next?
Member Since: September 2006 Posts: 34,375 Send Message	Mike *	Report	15 Jan 2013 20:06
	Rebecca, a birth record entry is not a certificate. You need to buy certificates from the General Reg Off. You can apply online, here's the link http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/Login.asp You also need to cross check Daniel's marriage certificate for his father's name and occupation.

	A tree on Ancestry has ..... (but would stll need verifying ) Daniel Horrocks Birth 1873 in Kirkby, Lancashire, England Death Dec 1933 in West Derby, Lancashire, England Parents James Horrocks 1831 – Ellen Swift 1830 – 1886

Member Since: January 2013 Posts: 8 Send Message	Just says year of registration 1873 and Jan-Feb-Mar district West Derby Lancashire, no maiden name.
Member Since: September 2006 Posts: 34,375 Send Message	Mike *	Report	15 Jan 2013 20:00
	If as you say you have Daniel's birth cert, it would tell you his exact date of birth and his mother's maiden name.

Member Since: January 2013 Posts: 8 Send Message	I had Daniel's siblings down as Mary (1863) , James (1867) and Ellen (1869). I never knew Daniel's mother's surname the person who helped me last time said it was unknown.

Member Since: January 2013 Posts: 8 Send Message	Elizabeth Hardman birth was 1872 not 1808 - big blunder!!
Member Since: January 2013 Posts: 8 Send Message	Rebecca	Report	15 Jan 2013 19:44
Member Since: January 2013 Posts: 8 Send Message	No his DOB isn't present. I've got a birth certificate which is Jan-Feb-Mar 1873 and death Oct-Nov-Dec 1933. All I know is that he died being trampled by horses as he was a carter if that helps?
Member Since: September 2006 Posts: 34,375 Send Message	Mike *	Report	15 Jan 2013 19:34
	Is Daniel's DOB on his death cert ? Don't rely on censuses. Certificates are needed in this case if you want to be sure you have the right line.
Member Since: January 2013 Posts: 8 Send Message	Rebecca	Report	15 Jan 2013 19:31
Member Since: January 2013 Posts: 8 Send Message	Location is Liverpool. Whoops didn't even notice that big mistake with Hardman. Yes he is buried under George 'Harrocks' in St. Chads in Kirkby. I'm pretty sure Daniel was in Kirkby not Whiston. I've looked through the censuses and it seems that Daniel was the son of James and Ellen.
