Find Ancestors

Hi
Im wondering if anyone can help me, im looking for some information of my grt grandfather who died when i was very young.
His name was Thomas Toner, he was born 1920, and was born in Ireland. He married my grt grandmother Evelyn Wakeling in Sept 1947 (In the UK) He died 1968 in the UK.

I dont know where in Ireland he was born or what his parents names were, any details for him or his parents would be appreciated.

How do you know he was born in Ireland? If you buy his UK marriage certificate, it will tell you his fathers name which will be a start.

Because my nan (his daughter) told me he was born in Ireland and that she doesnt think his parents ever moved to UK they always stayed in Ireland

My nan believes his fathers name may have been John but not 100%

I dont have his marriage record to be able to find his marriage certificate

Where did they marry? If someone looks up the GRO reference for you, you can then send off for the marriage certificate.

If you want to buy a BMD cert, here
is the addy where you can buy it online..

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/

(tip)Never pay more than £7
(another tip) for a marriage,you only need
put one partners name when ordering.

If you are ordering online from the GRO,
make sure that when the form asks
"Is the full GRO reference known?"
that you tick the "yes" box or you could pay more!

thats the one thank you Jill

Can anyone advise how i go about searching for Irish records (ie for his family) because i have never had to search for Irish records before

you could try
http://ifhf.brsgenealogy.com

Ian

Have a look on the tips and records boards....

Theres a couple of members that offer help with Irish ancestry.

Gerri

ok thanks, i shall try that.
im also looking for infomation on a UK relative, and wonder if anyone can help

Their name is Emily Jolly 1874, she later married William Leach, i think i have her on the 1901 census with my grt grt grandmother Agnes Mabel Leach, i have her birth record and her marriage record, but am missing her death record and her on any of the other census's can anyone help?

Copy n paste this into your addy bar Ian...It will take you to a thread started by INis....she does look ups for Ireland....

Hope this helps

Gerri

1881 could any of these be her where was she born/

Emily Jolly
Thomas,
Mary Jane abt 1874 Sutton, Cambridgeshire, England Daughter March, Cambridgeshire


Emily Jolly
Arthur,
Mary A. abt 1875 Stetchwoth Ley, Cambridgeshire, England Daughter Stetchworth, Cambridgeshire


Emily Jolly
Francis,
Elizabeth abt 1875 Camborne, Cornwall, England Daughter Camborne, Cornwall

For reference...

Marriages Sep 1891
Jolly Emily Huntingdon 3b 515
Leach William Henry Huntingdon 3b 515

To go backwards with Emily...you need to buy the Marriage cert (£7)

This will give you her Fathers name and occupation

Thanks Gerri, i have just posted on one of her topics not the one you mentioned but another one that she has so hopefully she will be able to help

Jill, i dont know if it is any of those 3, she was born 1874 does that tie in with any of them? She married William Leach in 1891, and i believe she was born in Cambridgeshire, does this help?

Ok no worries Gerri i just thought there might be a chance of finding her on 1881 census, which should give her parents names

Only birth showing on Ancestry is this one..

You REALLY need that Marriage cert Ian!

I just looked at the details i have of her on 1901 census and it looks like she was born Sutton Isle Ely Cambridgeshire, could someone check this census for me to check that is right as i have just scribbled it down and hope that i havent got muddled with one of her daughters, because the birth i have scribbled down says she was born Newmarket?!

this is the 1881 but as Gerri says its a guessing game without knowing fathers name.

Ok thanks Gerri, i am thinking the earlier one might be her but if i am reading my scribbles right (and of course have the right person on the 1901 census) that says she was born 1874?!

My Grt Grt grandmother was Agnes Mabel Leach born 1898, Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire
