Hi, I've sought help on here before and you wonderful people came up trumps. So..... PLEASE HELP! I've been doing well searching for people via the census's and information available for people up until 1901. After 1901 it gets tricky because looking at the BMD records, there are often several people with similar names in similar locations. After 1911 its a little easier because the Mother's maiden names are listed. I am looking for people in the Stoke/Staff's area. And Staffs BMD haven't got much of Stoke on their lists yet. So where do I go from here? Is it Parish records? And if so, how do I go about seeing them? Where are they located and who do I contact? Any help would be much appreciated as I haven't done any Parish records searching before. THANK YOU YOU WONDERFUL PEOPLE, Sue Sue

familyrelatives.org is pay to view but name/area/time span searchable for bmd 1866-1920. Only enter one first name, otherwise it glitches -(the results will bring up second names).
