Find Ancestors

It might be worh searching on www.freebmd.org.uk .................. it's a free site, so it doesn't cost you anyhtign!!


people born in 1825, 1827 and 1828 will have got married after registration started in September 1837.

Then you can start chasing them on the censuses.

I have found out ome bits from the IGI batch records that he was born in Bermondsey in 1801 and had three children John 1825 Mary 1827 and William 1828. baptised in Bermondey but there isnt any marriages for them here either...so they must have moved!

Derek.
What do you definately know about William Batt?

We might be able to find him if we have more info

There are links to some Canadian censuses here, Derek:

http://www.censusfinder.com/

my names are Wood, White, Connor, Batt, :OS

I agree

My names are mainly Cadd and Schofield, my husband's are Park and Taylor (and Roberts and Hughes in Wales)

................ and they all use and re-use the same christian names so you are never sure whether you are dealing with siblings or cousins or "kissing" cousins!


sylvia

Thanks Sylvia! its hard this when u have a fmaily with the most common names in the world!!

Derek,

sorry, I'm the immigrant here and I have never worked out how to find things in the canadian records. There is no one central database, you ahve to work province by province, and they also have different access laws than in the UK.

I suggest you put up a new thread asking specifically for help with that family. There are several Canadians, and others, who do have access to the records, and know how to find their way round them.


Anything I may find has always been by sheer good luck! Although I may have to steel myself and learn what to do as I think I have just found an obituary card for a distant connection of husband's who died in Winnipeg in the 1920s.


sylvia

Its William Batt i am after

thanks Sylvia

I am trying to do some searching in canada to but having problems too!

Do you have birth records over there? Im trying to find the children of my great aunt and uncle, i have no idea of their names but they had 6. The lived in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Elizabeth (nee Batt) Kelly born 1894 in London and George Kelly born 1891 they married in 1919.

thanking you :O) Del

So who is it you're actually looking for, Derek? William Batt or William Bate? If you need any lookups, we're all here to help!

I'd be inclined to let GR know that they've sent you down a blind alley, and see if they'll refund you a few credits!

Mandy :)

Derek,

I agree with Mandy


Don't waste your money buying credits on GR .............. they are much more expensive than other sites.



sylvia

i wondered why i have been stuck with this lot..... back to the drawing board!! thanks guys :O)

I've looked at the original census image on Ancestry and it is quite faint, but it's obvious to me that George and Jane are a different family. They live at the same address as William but George has a surname (which I haven't looked at properly yet).

If you look at the enumerator's dashes to the left of the names, a single dash means new household at the same address, whilst a double dash means new household at a new address.

Mandy :)

how annoying ......thanks Alan :O)

George and Jane have nothing to do with William and Sarah

They are George and Jane Edwards, and live next door. They are 20, and George is a butcher.



sylvia

Ah, Alan's found it, that's good. I wonder which site GR uses for its original sources?

I'll go back and have another go at finding any of them on later censuses.

Another tip, Derek - the credits on GR are much more expensive than other sites and don't last very long at all (but don't tell them I told you that, lol!).

Mandy :)

so they have been naughty on here.........they have mispelt his name on the data base here! grrr

lol...i did see it i am no mad ... the information u see in my original message here is what I copied and pasted from the genes search and then clicked on the original.
