Find Ancestors

Thanks I will report it and when they include it, hopefully it will show the mothers maiden name.

I expect errors/omissions can be made on the GRO site as well as any other.

Not that it helps you today, but (if you don't know already) there is a facility to report the missing entry on the GRO site and a box to complete "reason record assumed missing" where you could site the freebmd entry. Updates they say are made on a weekly basis.

Don't know John-

grasping at straws here- but did notice these females also listed,
Births Dec 1842
Clark Female Sevenoaks 5 417
Jones Female Sevenoaks 5 417

EDIT- doh, ignore me, thought I couldn't find these in the GRO but then realised I was searching deaths!

Even putting the gro ref in it doesn't find it

Any ideas why it would not show in the GRO?

Yes I have looked on GRO to see mmn.

There's a male too on page 411


These births were often recorded for a child that was born alive but died soon after and not given a Christian name

I don't see it either John.

The male birth for the same qtr and for Sarah E are listed on the GRO, but can't see the female birth:

WOOD, - (Mother's maiden name: CROUCH ) Male
GRO Reference: 1842 D Quarter in SEVENOAKS UNION Volume 05 Page 411

WOOD, SARAH ELIZABETH (Mother's maiden name: CLOUT )
GRO Reference: 1842 D Quarter in SEVENOAKS UNION Volume 05 Page 415
-----------------------------

Births Dec 1842
Wood Sarah Elizabeth Sevenoaks 5 415
Wood Male Sevenoaks 5 411
Wood Female Sevenoaks 5 417

Do you mean you have looked on the GRO site to see mmn

I have found a birth trace in freebmd but cannot find it in GRO can anybody help?

This is the trace in Freebmd
