Hello everyone

well ive hit a brick wall im trying to find if the following couple had children

there names are
florance ada quinn married to thomas griffiths
all i have is that they married in manchester around 1910 after that nothing i cant find death for florance ada and im not sure when thomas was born or when he died

these two people plus children [if any ] could help bring this line of the family up to present day

can anyone else see them /find them

Have you looked on freebmd? You can input the MMN..........

Having said that.....you need to establish if they actually married............so look for the marriage first........again, you can enter both names on freebmd

freebmd goes up to about 1920 now, so any children will almost certainly be indexed............

If you want to buy a BMD cert, here
is the addy where you can buy it online..

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

(tip)Never pay more than £7
(another tip) for a marriage,you only need
put one partners name when ordering.

If you are ordering online from the GRO,
make sure that when the form asks
"Is the full GRO reference known?"
that you tick the "yes" box.

Researching:
Pool/Poole?Overs/Hovers/Hovard?Bucket/Bouquet? Thank goodness i havent got a Smiff!........yet

hi all

im coming to the conclusion that they didn't have children as i can't see any record anywhere for a quinn having any children

funny her brothers didn't have many children, my father [a quinn] was an only child
well im going to order that marriage cert and see what it brings up i judt love to find florances death ,and just see who reg the death i think i will order the one that frazzlad has found just to see if they connect
