Hi Thnks for the offer could you please lookup William Chattaway b1847 Coventry in the 1851 and 1861 I know there are 2 Williams born at that time but the one I'm looking for parents names are William Chattaway b1820 Birmingham and Emma Chattaway b1824 Coventry Thanks so much for the offer Zoe

Could you find these births please-Robert-about 1883, Frances about 1884 , surname Davis , parents Charles and Harriet, place of birth-Middlesex-I think. Thanks, Rosalyn

Jean - I'm not finding the birth place Gosberton but there are lots of Cole's from Lincolnshire. Is there any other information that could help me identify which one they are?

thats kind of you, julie ive been trying to find g/gran in cardiff, elizabeth ann thomas, i know she lived in 22 pearl st, around 1914 ish,when she had my nan, i also know she was a domestic servant, would love to know who she worked for or if she married so if she appears it may be 1901 thanks for any help you can be of, take care julie

Re;Cole - Gosberton, Lincs. Thanks for your reply Julie. I think perhaps it could be Spalding, as place of birth, but the christening is registered at Gosberton. Hope this might help. The parents are John & Mary Ann Cole. Jean

Zoe - I have them clear as anything on the 1851 - father William, hand loom weaver - silk 31 wife Emma, silk winder - 27 William, born Coventry and his brother Joseph, born c1849 America. Holy Trinity parish - Coventry Having difficulty locating any of them on the 1861 though. No, can't see any of the 4. That any help?

Julie that's fine I'm not going mad then thanks for the help Zoe

Jean - Coles - having difficulty with this.... still in 1861- do you know when Mary Ann died? The only Emma that I've been able to find so far with a father John = 1861 - Wainfleet St Mary, Fen John Cole 47 widow ag lab born Wrangle Lincs Ann Needham, 30 unmarried, housekeeper, Wrangle Lincs Samuel Cole, 16, son, labourer, East Ville Margaret Cole, 10 dau, Wainfleet St Mary Emma Cole, 8 dau, ' ' Maria Cole, 7 dau, ' ' Elizabeth Needham, 6, born Boston Lincs Not sure if this is any help? Any information from later in there lives that I could identify them in later census? Anything about John? Very frustrating - any more information that might help?

Rosalyn, Births Sep 1883 DAVIS Robert Brentford 3a 85 DAVIS Robert Paul St. Giles 1b 605 Births March 1884 DAVIS Frances Mary Brentford 3a 75 Have you tried these? Does Brentford sound the right area?

Julie, thanks -does it give parents . They are Hannah and Charles.Is BRENTFORD near Kensington or Ealing-do you know? Rosalyn

If they are correct -only 7 months between them ! Rosalyn

A really useful place to find where the registration districts is is the freeBMD rootsweb site. It's very good. This is how it defines Brentford: Brentford Created 1st July 1837. Sub-districts : Acton; Brentford; Chiswick; Hanwell; Isleworth; Twickenham. GRO volumes : III (1837-51); 3a (1852-1930). Acton, Chiswick, Ealing, Great Greenford, Hanwell, Heston, Isleworth, New Brentford, Old Brentford, Perivale, Twickenham, Twyford Abbey (from 1862). Registers now divided between Hounslow, Ealing and Richmond upon Thames districts. The dates are the dates that the birth was registered. They don't give the first names of parents although the later ones give the maiden name of the mother which is really useful for identifying the right certificate to send for. Pain really, that's the bit where it starts to get expensive. I've not found a way round that yet - although parish registers are said to record the same information I havn't found a way to do that on line - yet! Hang on and I will add the other entries around these dates for you....

Cole Hi Julie, Thank you for looking for me. Afraid I don't have any further details at the moment, will try checking BMD and see if I can give you any further information. Thank you for your time. Best wishes Jean

Here we go - Sorry, checked the originals and as I feared this pre-dates the mothers maiden name being included.

Jean, how do you know about them? Have you got them on say the 1901 census so I can work back? It's just getting some common point of reference. Sorry I'm not being much help :~)

Julie Ann - I've not forgotten you! Not be a mo!

Julie Ann - Sent you a personal message because it was a bit of a long list. :~)

Hi Julie Thanks for the offer. Would it be possible for you to look for the following persons on the 1851 census. Sorry don't know the area. John Hoare age 33 born Ireland may be married to Mary or be a widower. Daughters Mary Hoare age 8 born Sheffield. and Elizabeth Hoare age 3 born Scotland. These are the only known relatives at this time. Any information would be gratefully received. Regards Ericx
