SS
Sorry I have been asleep for a couple of hours but I noticed to saying you were going to look for the phone number to order the cert?

I did give you the link for GRO which is the best place to order from at a fixed price of £9.25 where as the local offices could well charge more

Here it is again incase you missed it

Hi 1st of all i want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has helped me here in the search for my ancestors , i must apologise profusely to Jax for any upset i have caused her ....you have all been wonderfull so thank you very much

Jax is correct it will take me a while to get ma head round this lot as im not too good at sorting out who's who ,it has been a struggle for me these past 2 months and no rosey future for me im afraid but ile try

so Sorry Jax for having a go at you or as you say im twisting everything you say,maybe it looked that way but i assure ye it wasnt my intention .........

if anyone could possibly writee this out in some sort of order for me i would be very gratefull, and yes i agree with Dea i will order the cert asap

Dea Report 16 Feb 2011 17:05

I think it would be a good idea for Sherbitshandy to order that birth cert for Henry Martin Pescott and when it arrives we can take it from there???

Poor Sherbit - she won't know her head from her tail at the moment !

Sorry Sherbit!

If you are saying that Queens Square actually became Queensland Square, then I am happy with all that we have found - George Martin IS, in fact, the 'culprit !!!


Pheeewww !!!!!!!!!!!

I think Sherbitshandy is going to get confused with all this lot, so maybe we should wait until she returns to see what she would like us to do

OK-re the address on the marriage cert> I'm pretty sure it's the same.
Take a look at:
1891 Census
Islington, London
Islington
RG12 piece 178 folio 66 page 56
(George Pettit ?)
7 Queens Square
1901
George Petitt
Source Citation: Class: RG13; Piece: 201; Folio: 132; Page: 37.

7 Queensland Square.

And LK -the Marquis of Salisbury was a pub!
