Hi Rick, Never seen this one before. If you have time, would be grateful for info on: Samuel Mortimer, b. 1802 - Samuel Mortimer, b. 1812 (1851 census) and Samuel Mortimer, m. 1824 - spouse Wakely. Seems too good to be true. Cheers, David in Hants

Hi Rick Could you please look up the birth place for : Catherine Crooke born 1913 died 30.08.1981 I think it may have been in the Salford area? Her Mothers name was Catherine Crooke born 1878 died 1956 also believe this to be in the Salford area. I have no information on her father. Any information would be a great help Thank You in Advance Claire

Sorry Sue - loads of William Walkers, but none from Manchester. Rick.

Thanks Rick dont think it's the right family but will keep it in case i come across them again Jan

hi rick, sorry to bother you again, but someone has just suggested he might have been illegitimate,and added walker later, that could be why he cannot be found anywhere pre 1873. could you possibly check for a william randall, b 1844/46 manchester, sue. ps that web site looks pretty good, do you think it was worth paying for ? sue.

There's a lot more on Samuel & Lydia, but it's hard to get it into a format that's easy to post on here. If you want it all, email me and I'll send you a GEDCOM. Rick.

Sorry Claire, All the Catherine Crookes on there are American. Rick.

Sorry Sue, There's on in Scotland, but that's it. I didn't pay for the site ! You get a free subscription for a month if you upload your GEDCOM and it has more than 60 individuals and 15 families. Extra month for 5000 individuals. There's only 3% of the 1851 census, so it's a bit hit & miss, but it does have Cornwall 1871. A lot of the trees on there are American - not surprising as it's an American site. I did find a match on one of my ancestors though and it has a smart matching feature for your tree against other peoples. I wouldn't pay to use it as there's too little UK stuff on there. Rick.

many thanks rick, dont think i could cope with the shock if anyone found him now ! the site sounds like it might be worth joining for a free month, just in case anyone is on there, lol sue.

Can you find out about marriages on it? nickie

Thank You for looking anyway Rick Regards Claire

Thank You for looking anyway Rick Regards Claire

Hi Nickie, The only UK marriages are those that people have uploaded in their own trees. Rick.

Hiya Rick Can you look up a MaryA Hill b. 1848-51 Islington, would be living with David and Mary. Is the 1851 name index varied in the areas or is it a mix? Thank you so much you are a very nice man!!! Lynda

Hiya Lynda, Well, well - me doing a lookup for you - there's a turn up eh ? Not that I can find anything, I'm afraid. Only one Mary Hill in London (Soutwark) & her parents are Charles & Mary Ann. It doesn't say anywhere on the site what the coverage is for the index. It certainly seems to cover a wide area - not just London anyway. Rick.

Hi Rick Thank you for looking for me, sadly they were not the Becketts that I was looking for but I appreciate your help all the same. James
