Plus, do bear in mind that at the time of her marriage she may have "invented" a father. Don't completely dismiss a certificate you do get that gives a father's name. |

Check if these marriages are covered by a local RO index, as the local indices usually give some details on marriage location which might help you prioritorize your 4 weddings. Knowing the church does also ease access for any local parish records held in the county records office. |

As you know when she was born, you could specify perhaps that the bride had to be between X and Y years old......giving a margin of say 5 to 7 years. This way you would cut out more elderly brides marrying and so you would get a partial refund. |

Fair enough! I can see why you want to do this yourself, I would feel the same. |

Its a bit difficult and sensitive and I need time to think about that. I think I will probably pursue the marriage certs as was first suggested. |

I meant putting her name on this thread - sorry to be so vague! |

I am on FMP but have not put her details on that. I will try that. I have joined that for the 1911 census. |

I have put the details of her on my own tree so I presume it would show if anyone else was searching her name. This birth is my long since deceased fathers sister and I would love to know if I have cousins etc. |

Would you feel OK about putting the details on here? Also, do you have Ancestry or FMP access - might just be someone on there with her in their tree. |

Yes I have done that. There were two possibles, and I made contact with both but had only one reply. The birth listed on Genes were not known and Its a clear birth of Sheffield workhouse on the cert which takes no misunderstanding. |

As the father's name is not a clue, you would just have witnesses and her address to possibly help you. Can't think of a way to get around ordering them one-by-one! |

I have recently found a family member on the 1911 census that I did not know existed. I sent for birth cert which clarified she was born out of wedlock and gave no fathers name. The mothers name was that of my grandma. I have asked all members of the family if they knew of her and all have come back with the same answer NO. I have trace her back to the 1901 census which shows her living with her uncle and his wife. |
