Just wanted to share a success with you. I looked up my grandmother on the 1911 census thinking she was an only child only to find that her parents had had two other live births but these children had died before the census. With a little help from the Birmigham Registry Office Genealogist I have today received two certifices for the births. All I need to find now is the marriage of their parents which is proving very difficult. Just wanted to share my success with someone.

Thanks for listening.

Pam, I am pleased for you. I also had success with the 1911 tracing elusive rellies that I had never been able to find in 1901

I found one very badly mistranscribed but nevertherless it was them and there was a child I didn't know about so was then able to narrow down my search and found them in 1901 after previously searching for months.

I hope you find your gt grandparent's marriage,
Regards Jennifer

Thanks Jennifer, I'm beginning to think they just lived together and never married.
