Find Ancestors

Hi, I've just joined up here (little over a month now).

I've plugged in my family tree and have found several member's from my mother side online here. But as of yet I have not been able to gather any more info than the limited info my father has given me. I can only go back as far as my grandfather (Peter Coyne b1906 d1963) and his wife (Phylis Draper c1907).

I do know that Peter immigrated to England from Ireland but I don't know what year. Same for Phylis from Wales.

They had 2 boys (Cyril & Ron) and 2 girls (Marigold & Patricia)

I have no idea if Cyril, Marigold or Patricia ever married or had children.

I do have the names of some of Peter's sibling, and all of Phylis' sibling.

Hoping someone might be able to help?

Rob.

do you think they married in england or ireland?
where were their children born, and an idea of when please

there is this birth the only one on f/bdm

Ok this is what I have in more detail: I believe they were married in England. Children I believe born in Surrey.

Cyril David bSep 12 1936
Ronald bDec 6 1937
Marigold bMay 19 1939
Patricia bNov 29 1944

robert don't take this the wrong way but for future ref if you post try to stay at your computor for at least half an hour so members can ask questions this is a 24 hr board and without replies people move on

Nope, not taken the wrong way at all.

I've posted in another section here before and it took a day or so to get a reply. So I naturally assumed that with the time difference it would take some time to get a response here as well.

Not used to the immediate replies, I will make an effort to watch for them in the future.

Hi Christine, This info would be for her Birth documents correct?

Can you tell who her parents were?

Christine, sorry for this stupid question but is Meriden a town?

when registering births marriages deaths the year is split into quarters.
jan feb march referred to as march quarter
april may june as june quarter
july aug sep as september quarter
oct nov dec as december quarter

surrey mid e is the district the marriage was registered in

vol number is the book it is written in page is page in said book

so to order a certificate you got the gro site(general records office)
http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/

register, follow the instructions and you will see where and how the marriage index (as it is known) is used. never pay more than £7.00 the going rate. suggest you get marriage certificate first as it will give names of fathers which you can then cross reference with birth certificates

will explain meriden district
