That looks interesting for the birth of George

thank you all for taking the time to look up for me,your information has been invaluable.x :-D

thank you very much for your info kay.x

thank you rollo,
so they were married after the first child was born and while helen was preg with second,ive got a john born 1841 in my records though...xx :-)

Suzanne,

Try on Scotlandpeople for a death of either John or Helen.or a marriage for one of the children these will fall in the civil registration era ,,,,,any of these entries will give the maiden name of Helen.......but its a pay per view site so credits have to be bought,
