Ive tried the trying to find board with no sucess. I Live in Cumbria so find it difficult to get down to Warrington to check records down there. I have 2 sets of great grandparents. I am trying to find what my grt grndfthrs first name was his wife re-married so Im stumped. The name is Whittaker, her name was Mary Ann my grndfthr was Richard b c1862 he had 2 sisters Margaret b c1860 & Elizabeth b c1864. The other Name is Bate Samuel and Elizabeth b 1824 & 1829 I found them on the 1881 census but cant get futher back. |

Have you tried looking in Family Search (URL in Links section) for the record of their birth/christening? That often lists names of parents, and sometimes siblings. Jan. |

Hi, The birth certificate of one of his children will give his full name. Hope this helps, Gwynne |

Freda as already suggested, get a birth certificate which will give you lots of information. FreeBMD has a Richard Whittaker whose birth is registered at Warrington in the March quarter of 1862...he could be yours. If you give them a call, I'm sure you can order on the basis that the mother must be a Mary Ann. There will still be a charge but not as much as getting the wrong certificate. Sue |
