Or someone can look on ancestry


Do NOT pay for the credits on GR .... it is the most expensive way to find anyhting!

I think searching on this site is expensive. You're better off subscribing to Ancestry or Findmypast or asking for help.

Hi Jacqueline

I have to admit the 1841 is the hardest to search on especially if the name has be mistranscribed

I would normally put 1st Name, Area where you think they are, then birth year +/- 5 years..yes it will be a long search
