Hi Elizabeth and Fuzz, The marriage looks spot on I will take a chance and order the cert. The birth I am not sure about so I will have to take the plunge and do a little ordering. Many thanks for ALL your help you are great buddies. Kathlyn

Have had another look Kath, all the info I can find is same as Elizabeths x

Kathlyn, I'm going to bed. If you need me to look up something on Ancestry,etc, email me direct and I'll do it in the morning.(tonight UK time). Libby

Hi kath, Elizabeth beat me to it!!! Know what you mean all this has cost me a fortune, good job hubby doesn't know!! If you are not certain if it is the right cert ie lots of william moss's born in about the right year area, it is best to get the GRO to do a ref check, and at least that way you get a small refund, if the cert is incorrect. do those seem right re the marriage and births or shall I keep looking?

Kathlyn, I'm sorry, I'm not sure exactly what is needed for UK certs. but this is what I've found. Tom Whitbread married Sarah Ann Simpson Q4 1890 Stepney Vol 1c Page 792 There are births for Arthur William Moss 1867 Q1 St George Southwark Vol 1d Page 170 And.... William Moss 1866 Q2 St George Hanover Sq Vol 1a Page 262. Hope that helps a bit.

Hi Fuzz, When I started this torture, I made notes to enable me to order certs, BUT as luck would have it I did not go ahead at that time as I wanted to double, double check what I had. Its a good thing that I did not order as soon as I had what I though was the right info, as time as tought me to check, check, and double check ANY so called info before committing yourself to spending ££££ Kathlyn

Hi Elizabeth, I need the precise document info to enable me to order the certs. I have been unable to find this myself, but to be honest I am still finding my way around the different help sites. Kathlyn

Elizabeth seems to have found a marriage for you. i thought thats what you might have done re the children, but thought i should tell you i have found marriages eleven and even sixteen years after the first child came along!!

Hi Fuz, I am going on the dates of the 'first' child =/- a few years Kathlyn

have you looked on the Ancestry BMD 1837-1983 index its the same one thats on 1837 so they should be on there http://www.ancestry(.)co.uk/search/rectype/vital/freebmd/bmd.aspx Remove brackets Jeanette

Ther is a marriage for Sarah Ann Simpson and Tom Whitbread in 4th Q 1890 in Stepney. What are you trying to find exactly? I'll look for you.

kath, Are you assuming the marriage took place in those years because any childrens birth years? Fuzz

I have tried to get sufficient info to enable me to obtain certificates for my rellies, but am unable to get anything on familysearch or ancestry, any advise as to where/how to get it would be gratefully received... Thomas Whitbread c1868 married Sarah Ann Simpson possibly in the Bow area in 1889/90. William Moss born c1869 in the St. Georges in the East area, father was Charles Moss, mother was Elizabeth. Thanks Kathlyn
