Hi All, I am trying to find the siblings of my Great Grandfather, William Campbell James, he was married to Matilda James, nee Rogers, they had other children but am struggling on the free bmd to find brothers/sisters, I have found one Janet Campbell James but I do know there are several more, he had a son George Campbell James also born 10th March 1912 and at they lived at 38 Eden Street, Toxteth Park, Lancashire/Liverpool Are there any other types of records available other than census etc to establish the rest of the family?

freebmd only goes up to about 1911.........you need to search the FULL records on Ancestry. Just register with the site, and you can search by viewing the images till you find what you need. Incidentally, do you really mean siblings? Your message seems to indicate that you are looking for offspring................ Good luck Reg

To be quite honest reg I am looking for Williams brothers and sisters (one of whom is Janet) however my mum cannot remember the other brothers/sisters names etc, I would also be interested in their siblings also but I wanted to concentrate of the brothers/sisters first....thanks for you reply

Brothers and sisters are siblings. Children are offspring. J

Is this the marriage? William Campbell James 1900 Apr-May-Jun Liverpool (1837-1924) Lancashire View Record Matilda Rogers 1900 Your problem will be that pre-1911, MMN's were not listed on GRO records............. Reg

Alan, Like most of us you will need to wait until the 1911 census is published. The only other was is to buy every birth cert for James born in that area. Rose
