	Tracey, How far back have you gotten? If you can let us know dates for the marriages you have we can give you some tips on the best way to search for births Zoe

	Hi Tracey, You could use information from census returns which give the ages of people and the place they were born, work out the year of birth, then use freebmd or 1841 on line to find the births. Beware though, allow a few years (3-5) either way as ages on censuses are not always correct. Rosemary(Essex)
