You can do this very easily yourself!

thank you...i ll give it a go. :-)

on the original posting of John you didnt state a middle name but in the later one you have put him with a middle name.

John was from the census of 1911. Many parents only said the first names but nick names and shortened versions have also been used in censuses. It is very easy to get confused with the way some people had names, ages and birth areas changed each census.

The John I found in the births had a second name of William. I am guessing this is your John as without the maiden name of the mother it is guesswork The birth cert would have all the details.

Births Sep 1933
CUTTS John W Wall Chesterfield 7b 1132

Births Dec 1937
Cutts Brian Wall Chesterfield 7b 1053


this could be their children couldnt it?

Yes it looks like it. It seems the eldest Is John Jnr wonder if he's William as his father or Walter after uncle? :-)

thats as far as i can get now isnt it? Is there any website that allows me to John and Brians Marriages/ children. Does the Ancestory website allow you to find more certificates

Sarah


you now have to buy those certificates to find out what they say ....... that's the only way you will determine whether they are your family


buy only from GRO ............. each certificate will cost you £9.25, incluidng post and handling


http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/


you have to register, but it is free


You will be asked if you have the GRO registration number, answer YES ................ it is that set of 2 numbers at the end of the entry

thank you :-)

Sarah, you should not post personal details (birth and marriage details) here for people who are probably living ... whether or not they are related, they may not want that info being talked about on the internet

people born after 1930 are very possibly living ... and their children would be in any event

so I would delete those births and marriages

all you need to say is that you found, e.g., Cutts-Wall births and marriages that could match those births

you certainly want to start with the earliest certificates in any chain, to establish that you are looking at the right person to start with (that is, that the person is the child of the parents you are looking for)

does anyone know how long it usually takes for a birth cert to arrive standard post?

usually anywhere from 3 days to 2 weeks ............ in the UK
