Seagate

Can you say HOW you relate to JAMES?

You've given no hard facts anywhere on this thread..............

Shirley.....................

The parents of James Alfred were Charles and Mary.........the 1911 census for the family is on page one of this thread!

The Cushway/Wills marriage is also on page one................

Just to say re your post

"just checking my records i applied for birth cert under ref 1c 527 and was told this was incorrect on GRO index for james wills"

When you applied are you sure you only gave the details listed on the GRO index? If you add more info than is listed and any of that extra info is incorrect (including spelling errors) then they will reject that application

When applying through the GRO only ever give the details listed on the index (nothing extra)

Thats what I was saying Seagate

SO if James is Reginalds brother his parents are Alfred and Emily

Are you saying the cert you bought doesnt give the right parents names??

I am getting confused .com too now !!

hi shirley

i think james alfred parents are charles and mary
alfredand emily are my family parents of james

Why though are you looking for James cert ?? he is too young to be Reginald dad!!

Reginalds parents are Alfred Wills and Emily Cushway

Shirley~I,m getting the hang of it

Shirley~I,m getting the hang of it Report 28 Mar 2014 15:46

Reginalds marriage cert should name his father so thats another cross check to the right family.

Plus of course his birth cert will name both parents!!!

if the mothers maiden name was Cushway then it must be the James Alfred family

hi

just checking my records i applied for birth cert under ref 1c 527 and was told this was incorrect on GRO index for james wills. it is a bit confusing when reginald cushway was registered and later married under the name of wills?and my reginald birth date was dec but probably registed in the next quarter? i applied for james alfred birth cert which received but wrong parents as was pointed out already.so do i look for james cushway or james wills? do not know which way to go now? :-)

You can't look for a death until you are 100% certain of when he was born, and his full names
