Thank U, i will get onto it now, thanks for all the advice.

go to site www(.)col(.)statistics(.)gov(.)uk/ remove brackets, that will take you to site where you can order certs online

You need to apply to the office where the birth was registered - not sure if it is still Clerkenwell. The easiest way I find is via the 1837 site, quoting the name and reference I gave you. Richard

Would i be able to purchase a birth certificate from my local town or would it have to be from london ??

If you are sure she was born in December, then be wary of info from IGI, with births and christenings in Oct and Nov. Obtaining her birth certificate is the safest bet. Richard

Thank you guys for your help much appreciated.

Theres this on the IGI JESSIE ELIZABETH ROWE Female Event(s): Birth: 11 OCT 1862 Christening: 02 NOV 1862 Saint Leonards, Shoreditch, London, England Parents: Father: JASON ROWE Mother: ELIZA

The birth certificate does! Richard

I would imagine the one on familysearch is right one. I have relatives that were born in Shoreditch and registered in Clerkenwell. Both places within spitting distance! The birth certificate will give details of parents, including mothers maiden name. Steph

excuse the denseness of my brain but does it list her parents ??

Her birth was registered in the sub registrars district of Clerkenwell, December quarter of 1862, vol 1b, page 560. Richard

do u know if that is near london ?? I am not from that side of the country.

have you checked familysearch? There is a Jessie Elizabeth Rowe born 11/10/1862 christened in Shoreditch, parents : Jason Rowe & Eliza

I am stuck on Jessie Elizabeth Rowe b Dec 1862 in Clerkenwell (London), I know that she married Charles Henry Baker in 1883. What i need to find out is her parents name and a possible address.
