Find Ancestors

Have been searching for Walters marriage to Ann with no success but have found a William Philpott ref 2 c 139 married in Stockbridge in 1862. which would fit. I have seen Philpot spelt with one and two T`s on the census entry for the same family so need to do some more checking on the William theory. Not sure how I go about getting a copy of Ann`s birth certificate but will find out as at present it seems like the best bet Still so near but so far..

Jeanne, Order certificates from General Register Office here:

Only pay 7 pounds when you have volume and page numbers which you have.
Volume is 2c
Page is 85
March quarter 1863
Place is Stockbridge.
You don't need any other info other than her name which is spelled Philpot on index.

Thanks so much. I expect you can tell I am new to this. I only started a few weeks ago and I am truly hooked. Its been so nice exchanging info with you - long may it continue.
Thank you again
Jeanne

Well, Jeanne, I'd say you were doing very well after having started only a few weeks ago.
I'd be interested in knowing mother's maiden name when you get the birth certificate. I'm confused as to why we couldn't find parents' marriage.
Nice to know you're hooked. Soon you'll be as crazy as the rest of us!

The parents marriage is confusing. I can find Walters birth and death which fits with Ann being the HOH in 1871. but no trace of a marraige date. the only marriage I can find is with a William Philpot but the death is all wrong. I shall send for the certs first thing tomorrow ( or later on today) its now 1.30 am here and I must go. Catch up soon.

I have sent for Agnes`s birth cert today and it should arrive on Friday. I will keep you posted.
best wishes
Jeanne
