Hi Maureen St James has a website, with a 'contact us' section (or it did when I contacted them)! I emailed and asked my question, I don't know whether it was the Priest or someone else, but they answered my query, albeit to say there was nothing I asked about. Worth a try before you travel all the ...

Sorry for late reply, been having computer problems, just goes to show it's a small world!

Yes, it is the wrong mother's name, I'm attempting to find the marriage of her parents, however, as they are both from Ireland,I have to go to the library to use the free ancestry (I no longer have a subscription), when you can get on a computer! On the Christening documentation, the mother's surnam...

Oh my goodness! I don't know how to thank you enough! I will send for the PDF, if it's not my Mary Ann(e) it will be someone elses!

thanks again
All the best

Mary ANNE with an 'E'!!! argh!

Thank you Retiring Type, I didn't know that about births not being compulsory! Please don't tell me that deaths didn't have to registered during the war!! I'm having terrible trouble tracing her family, it's daft, my dad lived with his grandparents until she died (apart from being conscripted), then...

Hello there Sorry to ask a such long-winded question, however, my paternal great grandmother, Mary Ann HEWSON (nee O'BRIEN) is giving me a bit of gyp! I found a christening on Ancestry in August 1867 at St Alban's Church in Vauxhall, however, I cannot find a birth record for her. I've searched and s...

Don't know if this will be of much help to you - however, my Nin was always called Jinnie (I grew up thinking it was short for Virginia) - her name was Jane. Her daughter 'Jean' was also christened Jane! Another daughter 'May' was Mary Ann, I think there was only my Uncle Chris got called by his pro...

Hi Karen Just to add to the other replies - Bootle had an underground lake (may still be there) which was highly prized as spring water (move over Evian)!. As well as Well Lane and Waterworks Street in Bootle (near Derby Park), there is Springwell Road which is higher up the hill, however, there was...

Done, how more stupid can the government get?

I live in Hinckley, Leicestershire, happy to look up stuff from round here (south west Leics)

Hello all
Yes dickiesam, I did have the second card for William, but never noticed the different number!
I cannot thank you all enough for your generosity in sharing information with a total stranger, just wish I still lived at home so I could attend the meetings.
All the best, Annette

Hi Dickiesam Oops! Sorry for lateness of reply! William was a seaman, I've found his CR10 with his photo on, he's listed as Seaman on all the birth and marriage certs (obviously I didn't know about little Harold), have looked for another marriage, but with a name like his?????????????? It's a bit co...

Hi Dickiesam Many thanks for you replies, and apologies for putting a 'banned word' in my post :D Gosh, thankyou for finding out what gender little Harold was, such a shame, William is still a bad'un in my books, however, my great grandmother made a good job of bringing up little George until he pas...
