Hi JIm, Yes that's them. I want to find the parish they would have been baptised in, usually when I find a match on free bmd I then look for the birth on the same site as the area, eg. Cheshire reg I look on Cheshire bmd, it usually gives me a rough guide as to which church to look in, thus narrowing down time spent in record offices etc.

Regards, Lou

The following are the ones I can't find on either Westmidlands, Warwickshire or Staffordshire bmd. I have found them on Free bmd, but am trying to find a closer match, sometimes on the sites it gives you a parish etc.

Daisy Coyne (or Louisa Daisy) b 1900 Walsall
Frances Coyne b1903 Walsall
Cecil Coyne b 1904 Walsall
Margaret b 1911 Walsall.

I know they are on free bmd but why arn't they on one of the other sites. I found them on the 1911 cenus and it states they were living in Aldridge Staffordshire, so at least Margaret should be there as she was only 1 mth old on the census.

Anyone got any ideas please?

Thanks, Lou

West Midlands has some - see below. Basically, it's because the transcriptions haven't been completed yet. If you want to volounteer to do some transcriptions, try contacting the local FHS.

Hi, Anyone got any ideas why I can't find Walsall births on the West Midlands, Warwickshire or Staffordshire online sites. I have found them on free bmd but usually I can find the parish using the site which corresponds with that area, and I can't even find them at all on these sites.

Regards Lou
