Louise as it's an old thread it's unlikely that the poster will see your reply. Click on the posters name to send a message, if the email address is still valid the OP will receive notification of your message and be able to reply.

But you should remove your email address, GR advise against putting them on as this is an open board :-)

Hi K, of course you are right. I unfortunately am trying to research so many of my ancestors that the cost of appying for certificates is prohibitive just now. For the same reason I cant afford to buy credits to view census and other records. I really appreciate the efforts of my co-researchers on GR as they have helped me out no end. It gets hard when I get a few results for the same person and cant distinguish who is the correct person, as it is for us all I'm sure. I just want to thank everyone in advance who takes the time to help. Kate

If you have their marriage cert it will list their fathers names and occupations and help to trace them in the census

Joseph was born approximstely 1912 in Lancashire, possibly Blackburn, and spent his youth as a groom at Newmarket stables. He later moved to the North East (Redcar) where he died approximately 1989. Hope that helps. Kate

I am trying to find records of the ancestry of William Masterson who married Maud Ormisher (Ormesher). He was a labourer in Lancashire, born approximately 1889. Maud was born around 1888. They had a son Joseph, and William died sometime before Joseph's wedding to Lillian in 1938. I believe Maud was from Ormskirk, but I can find no records of their marriage. I'd be grateful for any information on William and Maud's ancestry if possible, as I have some information but I dont know if it's correct. Many thanks, Kate
