I have ordered Sarah and Joseph's marriage certificate and the birth certificate of Susannah / Susan Hannah. |

Can I please ask which site you use to get such quick and accurate results. I have a gold membership on here but the BMD indexes are a pain, I have paid to search on other sites but it is no better if you don't know the approximate years, and you can find one spouse but as in the first posting, on the sites I have tried you have to know the surname to begin to search. |

Thanks to all (again). Gran is in hospital again at the moment but should be out next week, her third heart attack !. She has all her marbles and will find this very interesting. Next thing is to find out Susannah's marriage, I dont know if this will be under Armitage or Walker. The funny thing is I also unearthed a similar thing on my paternal side of my tree, Alice Luscombe got married in the February but they had to do it all over again in the May as her legal name was Lumley, mother married a Luscombe and Alice called herself Luscombe but using this name made the marriage illegal. I have both certificates. |

Happy to help, Diane. How lucky you are to have a 100 year old grandma. Treasure her. |

Sorry Margaret, just re-read your message, you have found a possible birth for Susannah, will go back to trawling the 1861 census records. |

Thanks so much Margaret. The marriage dates fit. I thought the next bit would be easy, find Sarah Armitage and her daughter Susannah in the 1861 census and I would almost have solved the puzzle. Found plenty of Sarah's but not with anyone called Susannah. I have checked again and the 1871 census says she was 13. I cant order a copy of her birth certificate as I dont know the name she was born with ! |

I have a puzzle. I know that my great great great parents were Joseph and Sarah Walker from Dewsbury area (my Grandmother is still alive at 100 !). I have found the family in the 1871 census and one of their daughters is Susannah Walker aged 13. She is not in the 1861 census, Joseph is but he is listed as single and a boarder at an address in Dewsbury. I know their other daughter was born in 1865. I thought that maybe Sarah was married before or even had Susannah out of wedlock and that is why I cant find them in 1861. I have found 3 marriages of a Joseph Walker in 1862 and I have noted down the index refs. Question is can I see the spouse by searching on the index ref, on any site as I only have her first name. I did not want to go to the expense of ordering 3 copy certificates. |
