Yes ................. by using freebmd!!



go to freebmd.org.uk

scroll down and click on Search


Click on Births

Enter year beginning the year before their marriage, and ending about 20-25 years later

on the original posting of John you didnt state a middle name but in the later one you have put him with a middle name.

John was from the census of 1911. Many parents only said the first names but nick names and shortened versions have also been used in censuses. It is very easy to get confused with the way some people had names, ages and birth areas changed each census.

The John I found in the births had a second name of William. I am guessing this is your John as without the maiden name of the mother it is guesswork The birth cert would have all the details.

Sarah


you now have to buy those certificates to find out what they say ....... that's the only way you will determine whether they are your family


buy only from GRO ............. each certificate will cost you £9.25, incluidng post and handling


http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/


you have to register, but it is free


You will be asked if you have the GRO registration number, answer YES ................ it is that set of 2 numbers at the end of the entry

Sarah, you should not post personal details (birth and marriage details) here for people who are probably living ... whether or not they are related, they may not want that info being talked about on the internet

people born after 1930 are very possibly living ... and their children would be in any event

so I would delete those births and marriages

all you need to say is that you found, e.g., Cutts-Wall births and marriages that could match those births

you certainly want to start with the earliest certificates in any chain, to establish that you are looking at the right person to start with (that is, that the person is the child of the parents you are looking for)
