Well I would certainly get Annie M's birth certificate

Arrggghhhh - thank you...... above information very much appreciated. I wish they would all be known as their given name, would be much better, seems this strand are particularly bad at that.

Oh I wonder if she were Annie May - might have found Aunt May.

OH thanks, there was no Aunt Annie, she must have died early........... There is a May to come too.

It's not that your'e doing things wrong Rachel, not all websites are complete of Parishes, and info.

(when you say Baptisms, Genes Reunited, do you mean Births?)...


This is where certificate ordering comes in, from below link, £9.25 each.

(you'll soon get the hang of things, just takes time and patience, slow and steady, that's the way!)


edits to say (as in certificates for Ernest Thompson Marriage, and Births of children!)

Have to say thank you again, as this information has linked me up with some of my family who come together with Alice Underwood, and suddenly I have a whole lot of work done already that I can access. Wish somebody had done the otherside. Want to go back to 1600's if I can. Bet that bit gets difficult I am struggling in the 17's.

Three births after 1911....

Surname First name(s) Mother District Vol Page
Births Mar 1912 (>99%)
Thompson Laura Underwood Yarmouth 4b 35
Births Mar 1913 (>99%)
Thompson Alice H Underwood Yarmouth 4b 45
Births Jun 1914 (>99%)
THOMPSON Annie M Underwood Yarmouth 4b 47

Might be worth looking at getting one of these to see parents names?

Thank you very much indeed. I found his children on the baptism notices in Genesreuntied, but couldn't get any of the children from Freereg or the other site, I must be doing something wrong, I can't work it out. Alice would be a good name for her, as one of her daughters is Alice, and somebody has it up on another tree (but married to the wrong man) I think I need to do it on foot, but that seems daft when I will have to do it eventually, and all this should be assessable from here. I must find out what I am doing wrong. Thanks again.

This seems to be the marriage

Marriages Mar 1899 (>99%)
Thompson Ernest Charles Yarmouth 4b 23
Underwood Alice Yarmouth 4b 23

so was she known as Nellie?

Yes I have all that, he is in my living memory, if you know what I mean, he was my grandma's father and remember most of his children, it should be easy but I just get nothing, on baptisms for any of them. I will try the other site, thatnk you.

Yes, I see what you mean but you could have had a separate thread for him.

What I meant was if he was a Newby he should stay on here.

Have you looked for a marriage on FreeBMD? Do you know if they had any children?

MarieCeleste, that preminition stuff runs in the family, I do it and my dad used to too.

It seems like another family, but it is still mine, if you see what I mean.

Really sorry to ask, but I am struggling to get anything of any use out of Freereg (must be doing something wrong). Ernest Thompson born 1878 in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, was married to Nellie (would like her surname for a start), Ernest parents were George Thompson (dob 1847) and Harriet (dob 1844) - in theory it should be a doddle, but after 4 hours I still can't sort it.

Rachel, if it's a completely different person from another family then start a new post, otherwise just continue on here.

Thank you, that might wind in eventually... there are some of the family over there somewhere

Do I start a separate post for another person Ineed help with or carry on on this one please
