No you haven't.......but if you'd like help, we need to know the names of the parents, and where these children were born.

Preusmably, you got the info from the free 1881 census?

For what years do you wish to find births?

familysearch has baptisms.......not actual birth reg'ns.

For these, from 1837 onwards, you need freebmd.............

BUT......you need to be aware that birth registration was not compulsory until 1875.................

Have you found these children on a census?

Thankyou all ,just come off the mormon site,family search.....
I found a few things i think to do with my family.
But my head is spinning.
Gwyn, I wanted to find out date of births..I found a couple yesterday but could not find the rest of the children i was looking for..

192.com is useful for current ER info only..and it's very expensive

www.familysearch.org is FREE.....you will see people refer to it as the LDS site......or the Mormon site.

Have you got a specific thing that you want to find out?
Maybe we could 'talk you through' a way of searching.

It depends what you want to find out.

A search on Google will often show results.
For births, marriages and deaths 1837 to c. 1929 I find freebmd useful.

I have been on this computer now for i dont know how long and i will admit not good at it.
I have got into many search sites that i have seen on here and thought wow this is the one...then just when i think i am getting somewhere they ask me how i will pay...gosh some are so expensive.
Please for someone like me please name me one that is easy to use and that i dont have to pay...I know i sound a cheap skate but i cant afford it at the moment.
Thankyou very much x
