Catherine, Don't give up! Post his name etc on here, maybe someone will be able to find him for you. His birth must have been registered, perhaps his name ahs been mistranscribed or it is in a district you weren't expecting. Sam x |

I have been using this site for 3 years or more now and can you believe it I am still trying to trace a birth date for my Great-Grandad. It is so very frustrating to find him on a census with his brothers to painstakingly research 1837 for all their births,(not to mention going to the Manchester records office) only not to come across one of them. My only hope was getting hold of his military records to see if his DoB was on them but no guess what that turns out to be a nightmare too. Can anyone please advise me on my options: a) Travel from Manchester to Kew on the off chance thay might have something, wasting train fare in the process. b) Waste yet more money on certificates that are not mine. c) Call it a day? I know alot of people are prob in the same situ as me so maybe they can appreciate how I feel. The best thing of all I have researced my 112 family members with no-one to ask, family dead, both parents etc through what my mother wrote on old photo's. Sorry!!!!! |
