Find Ancestors

Hi
I have been researching my ancestors for many years but having difficuly finding information about some of them and their children. Early years they came from Melbury Abbas in Dorset England then later years they centred around Castle Cary in Somerset England. Any help would be appreciated.
Many regards.
Jo

Start by telling us at least one forename and birth year, please.

Which website(s) have you been using?

Welcome to the boards Jo.

It would help us to help you if you gave us a little bit more information about the family.

What are the first names of people you are trying to trace, when/ where they were and let us know what you are particularly interested in finding out.

What other information do you have about the family to help us start looking for you. D

Do you have the family in a census which you can post.

You could try the Search facility top right of this page.

Search, then Search all members trees. input a name you're interested in and basic area, nothing too specific often helps). If you find somebody else researching the person/people you're interewsted in you can send them a message through the Genes system. If they have the same email address they registered with GR then they will be notified there is a message oin the system for them.

You the keep your fingers crossed you get a reply - there might be various reasons someone can't or doesn't want to reply unfortunately.

You ask for help but don’t give any information which people can begin with !

With at least some info it’s impossible to even try :-(

Initially maybe

Illegitimate, so you can only follow the maternal line........................IF it's the right person



LUSH, MARY 67
GRO Reference: 1840 S Quarter in SHAFTESBURY Volume 08 Page 49

Buried 6th July............however, FMP links this death to a baptism for Mary Lush in 1773, so you need the cert to determine if it's Henry's wife
