Find Ancestors

GRO website gives mms for births in England/Wales 1837 - 1918.

https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/login.asp

You have to register, but it's free to use.

It's easiest to find the likely birth on FreeBMD first, then check for mms on GRO.
GRO website requires the child's surname to be entered, whereas FreeBMD lets you search more easily for possible alternative spellings, etc., or search without any surname.

Thankyou all so much...Shirley where did you find the info for mother’s maiden name Lamb? This was very confusing two families same names but thankyou so much fir your time.

Sidam,

You have the wrong children in George and Henry.

The Whiter family with children Albert, Beatrice, Freddy, etc is a different one from the family with Madeline and Henry on your other thread.

(Madeline & Henry's births on the other thread.)

Both sets of parents are called Henry and Eliza/Elizabeth, but one mother is Eliza Lamb, and the other is Elizabeth Chalkley/Chorkley.

Madeline & Henry's father is a cabinet maker in 1891.

The father of Beatrice et al is a printer in 1901. Not the same man.

You can check on the gro site for mothers maiden name

Many many thanks the thing that is confusing me is her parents were married 1887 but on the census years the two children of George and Henry were born before parents marriage. 1882 and 1886

Marriages Dec 1925 (>99%)
Whiter Florence M Langhorn Hackney 1b 762

Marriages Dec 1925 (>99%)
Whiter Florence M Langhorn Hackney 1b 762

she was born 1895 thats before the 1901 census

Sidam,
Florence White isn't on the 1901 census as she seems to be born after the census was taken in April.1901.


her birth reg.

***Births Sep 1895 **** (>99%)

Whiter
Florence Maud

Whitechapel

Her birth may have been a late entry into the GRO registers,? if this is her in 1901.

Not really sure can you help me please

Can I have a second pair of eyes for Florence Whiter bn 1895 London on 1901/1911please thankyou

Thankyou all for your help.

Sidami

When asking for 1939 lookups for children, as you often do, please ensure that you include the names of their parents to facilitate searching.
As you know, records are closed if they are alive, or their deaths have not been picked up.
