Thanks Potty.
especially the photo. I did an 1841 census for Moses Stott and he came up as his birth year 1826 and his mother Mary Stott born 1801. have no more details of her and no mention of a husband. She had two daughters Harriet and Ann.
thank you so much for your help.
Kind regards
Brenda

Hi Potty is it possible to get a scaned image of photo ?

Hi Potty. Thanks again. Threads are back. How can I find details of Moses parents etc. I have tried. Can't get his birth or marriage certificates as I have no details to go on.

Hi Potty
Sorry for duplicate message. PC playing up. Thread from me on June 30th about Moses I realise checking dates he is not my Moses. Silly me.
Brenda.

Your Moses would seem to be the one in the 1841 posted on 3rd June by Rootgatherer. There are several trees on ancestry that have him married to Elizabeth Clegg and although there is a marriage in 1817 at Elland for that couple, there is really no way to prove it is the correct Moses.

Hi Potty
l have just found the same info on non conformist records. will give the site another go. Have a nice weekend. Brenda

First note that adult (15+) ages were supposed to be rounded down ro a mult of 5 in 1841.

It's always worth supplementing FreeBMD's (or whoever's) transcription of the GRO index with the local index, if one's available online - see:

As you can see from the above examples, the two indexes contain difft info.
However, the entries one will receive certified copies of should contain the same info (up to transcription errors).
The main difference is the local index must give info on which rego one can find the entry in.
In the case of marrs, this would identify the church (although the local ref might not be explicitly decoded, although Cheshire's is).
Pre-1898, non-conformists (excl jews and quakers) weren't authorized to keep official marr regos, so a marr in a non-conformist church would need the registrar to attend so the couple could sign his official register.
Post-1898, non-conformists were authorized to keep official regos (except for RCs who only got authorized in the 1980s).

For births & deaths, the local index must identify which subdistrict rego has the event.
So we can see Brenda was rego'ed in the newly created Birkenhead North subdistrict, rather than, say, the Tranmere subdistrict which was also in Birkenhead RD.

Thanks again for all the in fo Potty
