Help needed please about name change DEED POLL

DetectiveColumbo — 19 Nov 2008 11:31:32 GMT

Hi - I wonder if an expert can help me please? I have a feeling that an older relative had his name changed after birth by deed poll as there is absolutely no record of his birth. He was illegitimate and years ago as you know the shame was awful and think this was done later by his mother ple
How can I go about finding this info out please? Any info and I would be so grateful as it's driving me nuts!
Thanks for your time :-)

Costs of certificates

sallysc343 — 27 Oct 2008 6:43:24 GMT

Have I pressed the wrong button somewhere or have the costs of certificates really gone up from £7 to £16.99? It rather makes any further research for me impossible if it has gone up :o(

Trying to trace John McCABE b Liverpool 1863 (ADMIN note: will be moved to Lancashire board ASAP)

mccabea1 — 17 Nov 2008 4:08:56 GMT

I am new to this and I apologise in advance if this is breaching any protocols. My family have links to Liverpool where my great great grandfather was born. I have searched the Free BMD database and found a possible link. My question is, do I need to order the cert at £20 only to find its a dead end, or is there another way to check this info.

Thanks

Meaning of "minor" on a UK 1852 marriage certificate?

higgy1608 — 30 Oct 2008 3:11:00 GMT

hi - does anyone know if "MINOR" simply means less than "full" age (21) or does it mean even younger (possibly younger than the minimum legal age to get married)?
The marriage took place in 1852.
Any help much appreciated!
thanks

Obtaining BMD Certificate when full registration details not legible

Karen_H59 — 7 Oct 2008 3:52:12 GMT

Hi,

Would someone please explain how best, when based in Australia, to obtain a Death Certificate (or other) when the page number is either not available or only partially available.

The only options on the Government web site appear to be to ring them or write to them. If I were certain that I had the correct ancestor, writing to them would be OK, and presumably a money order would be sent with the letter. But if I am not certain it's the correct person, then I've paid the full fee, where as online they pay a part refund if your additional details don't match.

Unfortunately I have this with both my great great grandmother (Louisa Huntley nee Soden) and her husband (John Huntley), in what is already my brick wall family.

Any guidance greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Karen

declaration with UK birth certificate

calngan — 10 Oct 2008 2:12:06 GMT

I have a birth certificate issued in 1881 which instead of the name, address etc in col 7 has the mother's name and the additional words, "as per declaration made 10th April 1881" which was a few days before the registration. Can anyone suggest what the declaration might be and, more importantly, how I might get a copy?

BMD Indexes - how to get the actual Birth Certificate?

pnewman82 — 30 Sep 2008 12:37:36 GMT

Hi there, I've been managing to trace my ancestors fairly well using the BMD indexes and census records, up to a point.

I really need confirmation that these people are all linked, and as such I could do with actual BMD certificates.

I see that on the indexs you get here, it references a book volume and page. Is this where the actual certificate is stored, and how can I view a copy, or get a copy, if they are available?

This sort of information would be incredibly useful.

If it involves me travelling to Somerset House then so be it!

Replies most welcome!

Oldest grandparent in Britain?

david1so5ntgourcucq8s15kh79vbg1tk2 — 17 Apr 2008 10:22:16 GMT

Here is a teaser for you.

Is there anybody alive in Britain today who has one or more grandparents born in or before 1837? My father does. In other words, does anybody living have a grandparent who was born more than 171 years ago?

Look forward to your thoughts on this one.

Best regards,

Citizenship

Abbreviations on UK birth certs

bunnypig2245 — 15 Sep 2008 2:23:53 GMT

On a couple of birth certificates I have it lists on the place of birth after the actual address the initials UD. Does anyone know what this means?

where is this address? - Croft Cott, Broomhouse, MT Vernon

oreot25 — 20 May 2008 5:40:32 GMT

On an 1912 British Army WW1 service record, that I think I found for a grandparent, the Address says 75 Wilkinson, Croft Cott, Broomhouse, MT Vernon.
I have not been able to find out if it's in England or Scotland, This Grandparent was born in Scotland.
Any help would be great

Trouble Navigating British Census and BDM Records

gnhansen29 — 27 Jun 2007 3:23:57 GMT

I live in Australia and I have generally found that the most effective method of family history research has been birth, death and marriage records, going back to the UK I have found that Census records are good for late nineteenth century research but going back earlier I have not found them to be very helpful.

I have found that the birth and death records only seem to mention the person concerned and not other details such as their parents. Also the marriage records only mention either the bride and groom without also mentioning the other party. This has made it very difficult to find records when names are very common and/or dates are a bit uncertain.

I was just wondering is there a more effective way of searching records to find more information about my ancestors or are there some other records I should be looking at?

The ancestors I have had trouble finding include John Downey who married Mary Hills (or Hill) around 1838 in England. John was born in County Kerry, Ireland around 1816. Mary was born in England around 1815. They seem to have migrated to New Zealand or Australia around the 1840s or 1850s.

They seem to have had children John, Henry, Mary, Edward and Frances in England, and Michael Joseph, Bridget Ann, Catherine Jane in New Zealand and/or Australia, but I can’t find any UK records for them.

I also have a James Booth born in Lancashire, England around 1828 but can’t find any UK records for them, Mary Gill born around 1809 in England and daughter of James Gill as well as Elizabeth Spratt born around 23 March 1776 in Holborn, London but I’m having trouble finding records. Is there a better way of searching?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

late vs. formerly n UK birth cert.

buz1960 — 11 Feb 2008 9:28:34 GMT

Hello,

I have a UK birth certificate that lists the mother as:

Mabel Penney late Tootill formerly Turner

Which is the Original surname? Would this be Tootill and Turner would therefore be a surname from a previous marriage, or would it be the other way around?

Thanks in advance.

Details on a death certificate

Andrea_Ruddick — 1 Feb 2008 1:10:39 GMT

I have a death certificate from 1952. In the section giving detail of the informant it reads 'W. Goodwin, causing the body to be buried ...' then gives an address.

As the lady died in hospital and was unmarried, is it safe to assume that the informant was either a friend, and the address is hers, or a nurse or official from the hospital? And the phrase 'causing the body to be buried', I know she was buried in an unmarked grave, so does that me she had no family or friends to bury her?

All very sad sounding!

Many thanks

Entitlement to view information in the UK

I have located some baptisms I'd like to look at circa 1923 - currently being held by the church. Can anyone tell me if I'm legally entitled to view these records? The church are asking for a £19 fee, but as I can visit the church to view, I cannot see how they can justify this charge.

Hello
Can someone please tell me what information is contained on a death certificate.
Also if searching for a death when the person in question is female, do you search under the married name? Does it say the maiden name?
Also, what if I cant find a death/marriage/birth in listings. Where can I go from there?
Any help/hints are very much welcome

Still birth registeration 1970's

karlrobinson4 — 22 Jun 2007 2:42:05 GMT

Hi!
Not a very nice subject, I know, but we are trying to find out about my husbands brother who was "still born" in 1972. We can't find out any info from family, as his parents have died and other members don't know very much. We know his name, and date of birth/death and the hospital, but that's all. The final outcome of finding this info would be visit his grave and pay our respects.

Unfortunatley, we are completely stuck, we can't find him on any of the free death registers on line.

can anyone offer any advise on finding info?

Thanks

Handwritten notes on Birth Registers - Help

Neil_Smith1970 — 5 Jun 2007 10:09:49 GMT

Hi

I am researching my brother's partner's family tree for her and have come across something I haven't seen in my own tree research. On her father's entry in the Birth Register, there is a handwritten '1' next to the typed entry and, going to the bottom of the page, there is a corresponding note, giving the same different info (mother's maiden name as Ball instead of Bull) and different Vol number, instead of a page number it says See (some character I'm not sure of) '63.
I assumed this was either a different person (which is odd as the middle initial is the same and so is the district) or a correction.

When I looked up his sister, I also found a note attached, which had all the SAME info, but had See S,63 instead of a page number. Could anyone shed any light as to what these notes mean?

His birth was 1941 Bristol, hers was 1943 Weymouth.

UK Marriage certificate

How to research family before 1841 Census's???

misstiqee — 20 Mar 2007 6:19:13 GMT

Hi there, I was wondering if anyone else is encountering the same problems. You can get great details off the records so you can skip back through the census's, but when you get the last and eldest person, where do you go from there? You may have say a name and approx date of birth etc, but the births dont have parents names or details, only a name and date of child born. There could be 20 other children born that month with the same name and location, how can you work out which is your ancestor from that? I also use IGI which can give you sometimes parents names etc but is there something im missing or is it a common prob?
Any advice much appreciated.
Thanks Chrissy

Help! I am trying to find info on my grandfather in law but have hit a brick wall. The only info we have is a marriage cert from 1948. The marriage was by license and it is possible he was american. Can you get any further info from the registry office? Would they have the info for the 'license'? Grateful for any suggestions.

Divorce in the 1870s

johnefox_1 — 21 Feb 2007 11:03:50 GMT

Dear All,

A lady in my family tree appears to have been divorced around
1875 and kept the child.
I suspect that divorce was unusual in those days and even more unusual to have kept custody on the child. Is this correct?
There are very vague stories in the family about something 'not nice' happening, i.e. criminal. Would this have been a case for divorce?
Are there any ways to check the records?

Thanks

Birth, Marriage, Death records

zimmerman409 — 19 Jan 2007 10:25:05 GMT

Does the public have access to the BMD records ?? This would be for the purpose of finding the correct record before ordering a copy of the official record. If I know the birth parents of a particular individual, and the date of birth, is there a way to make certain I am ordering the correct birth record.
Is the alternative to order a birth record, give a list of the potential locations, and then the records office sorts the wheat from the chaff ?? Calling from America.

UK Counties and Postcodes

Rachel Henderson — 29 Dec 2006 6:03:11 GMT

For people researching from outside the UK, I thought this might be helpful.
UK postcodes are allotted according to the nearest Postal sorting office, not strictly according to county.
For instance, Oundle, Northants, is nearer to Peterborough sorting office than Northampton, therefore it has a PE postcode. Some places in North Northants have an LE code because their nearest office is Market Harborough, whilst others in the south have an Oxfordshire code because they are near Banbury.
I hope you can all understand this. What I'm trying to say is, don't assume a place is in a certain county by looking at the postcode (this applies to other counties as well)

Certificates help

Do I need to have the exact date to get a marriage or babtisim certificate.? I do have the names, places and year of my ancestors but not the exact dates..

Where can I get an-1857 marriage certificate from, or is that impossible? As I wrote to the Parish where my g-parents got married giving the full date of the marriage and asked the Priest if he had this record and would he let me know if he had, but I never even got a reply, not much to ask for as I wasn't asking him to do a research for me.....
And is there any hope of getting a death certificate without a date or year, even though I have the names and exact places.
What are the fees for these certs? If anyone can help I would be more than gratful.

Very Old UK Records

Are any or all of those old records still available in copy or image form?

Birth and Marriage Certificate Help Needed

Lovepie — 30 May 2005 12:59:13 GMT

Firstly, I recently ordered copies of mypaternal grandparents birth certificates from the GRO and when they arrived, on both certificates, the father was not listed. I presume this means they were illegitimate, as both took the surname of their mother. And I also presume, short of finding a living relative who knows, that I can never find out who the fathers were.

Am I right on all this?

Secondly, I have a copy of their marriage certificate from 1936. This was not ordered from the GRO - it is an original, or a copy of the original. Next to my grandfathers entry under 'father's name and occupation' is a person listed as 'Jack Swaine' (deceased). His mother's surname is Swaine, and that is her unmarried name.

Would I be right in thinking this person may be made up? I know he took his mother's surname and not his fathers. I can find no uncle called Jack whom he could have regarded as a 'father'. His grandfather was called Thomas. I have also noticed his age is put at 21, when in reality it was 23.

Should I have doubts about the validity of this certificate? How can the anomalies be accounted for?

Help understanding an England/Wales marriage certificate

alasdair190 — 30 Apr 2006 7:16:31 GMT

I have a marriage certificate from 1838. The marriage took place in the Register Office in Canterbury and was recorded by the registrar as being according to the Rites and Ceremonies of the "Parties".

I'd be really grateful for anyone who can help me understand what "Parties" might have meant in this context. Does it mean the happy couple just turned up and said they wanted to get married, so the Registrar put whatever came into his head so as not to leave the field blank? Or might it act as code for indicating some religious affiliation?

Many thanks in advance for any help that anyone might be able to provide.

This Ephraim should not be confused with another Ephraim T who also married a Sarah...he was from Bishops Stortford.

ABRAHAM SAVAGE - JOHN SAVAGE - MARY SAVAGE in Ireland 1890

version5update — 23 Aug 2003 12:29:49 GMT

Searching for the three names in a family group, perhaps with others about 1890. ABRAHAM SAVAGE his name is written on the wedding certificate of his Son JOHN SAVAGE in Lancashire in 1899 together with a witness MARY LIZZIE SAVAGE (unknown relationship but assumed family). Since full records are available for JOHN after this date in England but not before in the UK, and since no records exist before or after this wedding for JOHN or MARY in the UK, I feel they must have travelled fron Ireland for the wedding and returned afterwards. Does this family group show on anyones information. All help would be much appreciated. Best Regards to All. Jeff Savage.

Tibbals family information

B.Hoggard (nee:Tibbals) — 1 Mar 2000 12:50:41 GMT

I am looking for any information I can get on my family tree. I have just begun my search, as I live in Campbell River- located on Vancouver Island (British Columbia, Canada), it is proving rather difficult to gather information about my English family here. My mum dad came to Canada in the late 1950's, with my 2 elder sisters, another sister and myself were born in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada, in the 1960's. The first person I'm trying to track information on is the following; an Aunt, her name is Betty Irene Glover (nee:Tibbals), she was married but was widowed in 1955 (his name was Jim (James) Glover who was a boxer), I do not know where she lives, or anything about her. The rest of the information I have to go on is the following; my Grandfather was named Charles Joseph Tibbals - born 1890-1900,(apparently worked the dog tracks) died 1978 in London, England, my Grandmother was named Ethel Maude Tibbals (nee: Berkin) born 1899-1900, died 1961 London, England. My dad also had a brother who was killed in action at Dunkirt (he served on the H.M.S.Ivanhoe, his name was John Charles Tibbals - is there anyone out there that served with him? I would love to hear from you. I would appreciate anything anyone out there may have, please email information to me. Thank you.

They had a daughter, Margaret, Dec 1840. The marriage and the baptism took place in Ballyloughan, RC Parish of Bagenalstown, County Carlow, Ireland.
