Find Ancestors

Looking for ancestors of John Lacey and Rosina Willetts born circa 1918

Have you tried looking for info yourself?

Assuming this refers to England/Wales (you failed to say) look for info using freebmd as a starting point. You must be aware of the site..................

Are they supposed to be connected to each other?

PLEASE be more informative when asking for help

Where were they born?

Were they both born c1918 - or only Rosina?

What is the relationship between them?
They don't appear to have married, at least not in England/Wales/Scotland.

30 John Lacey's born 1918 +/- 2 years England/Wales

2 Rosina Willet's 1917 and 1920 if that's her maiden name.

What more do you know about them?

the 1917 one died aged 1, so ? Rosina A Willetts b 1920

Use freebmd to find them - where mmn will show -

You know the MMN, so look for the marriage of the parents....................easy to do on freebmd

As well as the freebmd site there are two others freecen( census) and free reg ( parish registers).
All three are excellent free sites.

So what do you know about john Lacey?

There was more than one Willetts/Hill marriage in Dudley (assuming that's where her parents married) in the few years before 1917:

Marriages Dec 1914 (>99%)
HILL Annie E Willetts Dudley 6b 1936
Willetts Benjamin Hill Dudley 6b 1936


Marriages Jun 1913 (>99%)
Hill Elizabeth Willetts Dudley 6b 1518
Willetts Samuel Hill Dudley 6b 1518


Marriages Dec 1911 (>99%)
Hill Miriam Dudley 6c 226
Willetts Benjamin Dudley 6c 226

You'll have to buy her birth cert to find out her father's name - although if his name was Benjamin, you'll have two choices and have to do some further digging.

Another free site, where mmn is given from Q3 1837 onwards unlike freebmd which only starts Q3 1911.

Also gives full first names instead of initials for second

and age at death from Q3 1837

Dec 1911 marriage was NOT to Hill

Postem on freebmd.......

4/09/2011 George H. Portman married Miriam Hill in Netherton Messiah Baptist Chapel, Cinder Hill.

BIRTH cert will include MOTHER's name

Ancestry trees are notoriously unreliable, and the one quoted above has NO record of the children who can be shown to be of this marriage, nor is there any proof that Rosina was the child of Percy and Frances. Guesswork, I suggest

Patrick -
as already said, you need a copy of Rosina's birth cert, to know for sure who her father was.
