Find Ancestors

Deb, lol, you've got me with that one !!! my first suggestion is keep checking FreeBMD, they are starting to put on later records now, have had a quick look but latest 1 at the minute is June 1901, Carlisle, for a George Ruddick Boak. other than that, try one name studies, being a very unusual surname helps, somebody there might be able to help you. Have you seen his death certificate? a birthplace or DOB might be given. does his marriage certificate name his father? i don't really know what else to suggest for you, am having trouble myself with having an irish ?x great grandparent, am quite glad now that he wasn't from pennsylvania, lol Jx

Hello Jane Thanks for your offer. Would you be able to look for a John Harvey B 5 May 1842 St james Westminster on the 1851 census upwards, if he married and had any children...His father was called William B1795 and mother was Margaret B Cornwall in 1814. many thanks Sandra

Thanks again Jane I'm getting stuck now on another branch of my tree. My grandfather George Boak died in 1967 but I dont know where he was born, I know he lived in Pennsylvania & came back over here when his dad died. How can I find out where he was born so I can at least start this branch of my tree?? There is no one to ask either which makes it difficult! I think he was born in 1908 so the Census doesnt help, can you suggest anything? Well you did say you were bored!!! Thanks Deb

Deb, keep throwing em at me, keeps me out of mischief :op 1901. no address given Dorothy Snowball abt 1898 Chevington, Northumberland, England Daughter Chevington Northumberland Isabella Snowball abt 1895 Chevington, Northumberland, England Daughter Chevington Northumberland John Snowball abt 1866 North Seaton, Northumberland, England Head Chevington Northumberland Mary E Snowball abt 1893 Chevington, Northumberland, England Daughter Chevington Northumberland Mary J Snowball abt 1869 Bedlington, Northumberland, England Wife Chevington Northumberland Raymond Snowball abt 1900 Chevington, Northumberland, England Son Chevington Northumberland
