I know it usually means that on a marriage record but is it the same on a baptism Reggie?

The eldest son in 1871 Isaac (see above) is shown as having mmn = Monk

Thanks Charles,

Managed to track the details down with help from earlier contributions and confirmation of the details on lancashirebmd.org.uk, and also found other relations as well, an excellent result which is down to the help I was given by everyone.

Regards,

James

James

The only way I know of getting further details is to request a copy of the actual certificate, this should give details fo the exact date and place fo birth, parents etc.. Unfortunately you would have to pay for the certifictae. Other ways are to use sites that show other member tres and maybe you will find a record on the site and a n image of the actual certificate.
Good luck Charlie

Thanks LindaB,

Yes, found that out, I have been having a browse through them, very useful sites, pity there does not seem to be similar for Scottish Local Authorities.

Best Wishes.

lancashireAnn and Chris Ho :)

Thank you both for your input, it is very much appreciated.

I will have a look at both lancashirebmd.org.uk and lan-opc.org.uk.

As a pensioner I am limited to what I can spend on searching some of these sites and as most of my ancestors are Scottish I tend to use most of my scarce resources on Scotlands People.

That said, none of them could give the kind of assistance and help in the friendly way that you and others provide to people on this site.

My Best Regards,

James

Thanks Linda, Maddie, and safc,

I think you have solved it, I was looking at the 1911 census but Robert Birtwell who married Martha Ann Ollett was not living at his parents house at the time of the 1911 census so I did not pick him up as a son of James and Annie Birtwell.

Many thanks for all your assistance,

Regards,

James
