Find Ancestors

All sites will give the same birth year details. It will be census where the dates change slightly. i.e. 1911 age 61, so 1911-61 = b 1850, but as census early in year, more likely to be born 1849

And depending who gave the ages at marriage and death, these might give a variant.

You can use this site to show mmn from when registration began in Q3 1837 through to 1917. Also give ages at death from Q3 1837. these dates are earlier than the commercial sites

Prior to 1837, we have to rely on parish records.

- not all people were baptised
- not all registers have survived or are legible
- not all registers have been transcribed
- not all registers (or transcriptions) are on line.
- not all surviving registers have been deposited with an archive

Thank you all for your input about Jane Ford ,wasn't sure when she married it makes sense her marrying about 1836 though as I believe one of her children was born in 1837 , ( my great grandmother in 1845-6-7 ) depends on which site you look up , can't find her parents though , which has been a mystery to me
Thank you all Mary

If so, it would suggest the married quite some time before 1848? Also, isn't Ford her maiden name - or is Ford her second christian name? Not seeing them on 1841 census to confirm though.
