Thanks once again, this is excellent - I am busy ordering all the certificates for her. Thanks also for the links. I am sure that I am going to sound pretty silly here but what is Ancestry?! :-)

Here's one of the deaths, which gives you his date of birth:

Name: Victor Dorris Ford
Birth Date: 12 Dec 1910
Date of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1975
Age at Death: 64
Registration district: Islington
Inferred County: Greater London
Volume: 13
Page: 1684

You can look on FreeBMD the same as I've just done. Jill's birth seems to have been registered twice -in the first and last quarters of 1954. Presumably as the parents married after she was born, they reregistered her after they were married.

Janette's birth is also there registered in islington but no more - however the year is quite recent for freeBMD so there could be others not transcribed yet.

Do you have Ancestry? If not, I'll look at the births there for you and see if any more show up.

Janice - this is fantastic thank you very much, much appreciated.

Its her mother June Rose Maloney married name Ford that she would like to know whether she had any more children - how do I go about this please?

Thanks

June's marriage:

Marriages Sep 1954

Ford Dorris V Maloney Islington 5c 2470
Ford Victor D Maloney Islington 5c 2470
Maloney June R Ford Islington 5c 2470

If you look on freeBMD there are 4 boys who are possibly born to this couple after the twins.

This looks a good possibility for the marriage:

Marriages Mar 1932

Harris Ethel Maloney Pancras 1b 104
Maloney James C Harris Pancras 1b 104

There are twins born in 1932 in Islington, but the names don't match up with the info you have posted above.:

Births Sep 1932
Maloney James W Harris Islington 1b 247
Maloney June R Harris Islington 1b 247

It might be a good idea to buy June's birth cert: cost £9-25 from

My Mother in law has asked me assist her in finding out about her family tree, she was unofficially adopted at a young age and therefore is sketchy as to many details.

Her parents are both deceased; he was a Dorris victor Ford (dob unknown) and she was a June Rose Maloney born 1932 we believe in a workhouse in Highgate, London. She had a twin brother called Peter. Their Mother was an Ethel Rose Harris (dob unknown). That is all the information that she can provide me.

Can anyone please give me a few pointers as to where to begin as its been a long time since I did any of this; my mother in law would especially like to know if her mother June had any more children other than her (Jill Rose) and her sister (Janette) - where would I start with this?

Any pointers would be gratefully received!

Thanking you in advance

Laura :-)
