Find Ancestors

Thankyou all for your help. I have been able to find details of some of my family. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Pat

Hi me again :-)) Pleased you came back to your thread Pat. Might this be Mary Jane Shepherds birth? 1880 Q2 Plympton 5b-246 Gerri x Cant find your Uncle John but did find this....c ould he be yours? Name: Walter John Sene Birth Date: 23 Jun 1903 Death Registration Month/Year: Dec 1990 Age at death (estimated): 87 Registration district: Exeter Inferred County: Devon Volume: 21 Page: 1127 ------------------------------------------------- Walter John Sene (birth) 1903 Q3 St Thomas.......(this is in Exeter) 5b-43 Gerri x

Hi Patricia James P was registered under the name of Shephard as well as Sene. He was registered once, but under both names, the 'code' is the same. Keith put this - I take it this is him. James P Sene 1924 Q2 5b-108 MMN Shepherd The codes at the end are the Volume and Page Numbers. If you want to send for the birth certificate (or any certificate) you use these codes on your application. You can order certificates online via the GRO - this is only the 'index' - like the index to a book. You need to order the certificates to see the full information regarding full names and so on. Gail. x

Pat The 'Code' is the reference details you need to order the certificate, what you need in full is Name, area, quarter, and Code. This is the Ancestry site, just register and search its Free. www*ancestry*co*uk/search/rectype/vital/freebmd/bmd.aspx replace * with . all the best

My dads middle name was Philip. Was he registered as James Philip SENE on his birth certificate or James Philip Shepherd?

Could someone please explain the code, written at the end of some of your messages i.e. 5b 103

WOW you have all been SO busy. Thankyou so much. I will sieve my way through all the information. Can't remember who posted about a Rose. My aunt rose would have been born around 1920-22. There was another - my uncle John. He was one of the older siblings and lived in Poplar, London and probably died there. Thanks once again. Pat

Thanks Keith,That will teach me to double check the births for confirmation. Nana

Nana, Micheal J is mmn Gibbs. Q3 1937

I have found the deaths for 2 Sene`s in Exeter who could be related. Michael age 4 Mar qtr 1942 and Bessie age 75 Dec qtr 1943. Could they be John and Mary`s grandson and John`s mother? Nana

Well done nibbo! I hope Pat picks this lot up...

Good spot, that was going to be my next step, look at the name variations. But,it does not fit with Thomas still being a babe in arms, so info wrong somewhere.

The children are all registered under Shepherd as well!! so does look as if they were not married. Mary V born Q1 1918 Fulham is NOT registered under Shepherd so different family? Have checked 1914 and 13 for births, none there.

Heres another odd one! was Mr Sene sharing? lol William J Sene birth 1925 Q3 MMN Gibbs Exeter 5b-117 To date...theres nothing on 1915/16/17. One in 1918 One in 1920 One in 1922 One in 1924 One in 1926

Another birth Q1 1918 Sene, Mary V, mmn Shepherd, Fulham 1a 373 Are they related?

Rose M Sene birth 1922 Q1 Exeter MMN Shepherd 5b-116 also.. James P Sene 1924 Q2 Exeter 5b-108 MMN Shepherd
