Find Ancestors

IMPORTANT UPDATE!!!! 1st Jan 2006! As I detest the unfriendly format of the public thread here, could all future look ups please be emailed to me as follows: Email address: lookups a.t mysteryshoppersukdotcm (I've had to fiddle with the email address to get it to print but am sure you can work it out lol - the dotcm at the end should have an 'o' between the c and the m!!) The same rules apply as below and all emails will be answered in the order they are sent :O) I will continue in the thread below until all requests are completed, but please no more to be posted here - emails only!!! ------------> I have an unlimited subscription to 1837online so can do look ups for any births, deaths or marriage indexes for you between Sep 1837 and Dec 2003 (England and Wales only). :O) Because of high demand for searches, I am now having to restrict requests to just two years inclusive (or 8 searches over 4 quarters) per person per post. If you ask for more, I'm afraid I'll only complete 8 individual searches for you so as to reduce the long wait for others. I hope you'll understand my reasons for imposing the limit. You are more than welcome to email again to ask for further years, but might have a little bit of a wait until I catch up with you! Please try to include as much info as possible, re names, districts etc .;O) I'm offering simple look ups from the info you provide. Also, if you reply to me a request for a further search (extra years etc), would you mind ensurting the original info is included to save me trawling back through old emails looking for it. This will save me a lot of time which means I can do more searches more quickly! Sorry for the lengthy spiel - I wish I'd had the hindsight to pop a short message here and a lengthier explanation in the first post so the formatting wasn't lost, doh!! Many thanks for your understanding! Louise :O)

Awesome! Thankyou. I am mainly looking for a Gordon Havelock Anstis, possibly died 1980 - 1983. Thanks Steve

There's a Harry as follows: Deaths - Dec 1982 - Harry Havelock ANSTIS - b.10 Jul 1907 - Bakewell 6 0046 I'm still searching the remaining quarters but thought this could be of interest as the middle name is quite unusual? Louise :O)

Thanks Louise. I think that is Gordon's brother.... I was searching the Index a while ago looking for my great grandmother who married Gordon. Interestingly they are both listed the same qtr 1982. Steve

I do have three others. Sarah Jane Pester d.1942 Edwin John Ashburn Pester d.1959 William Pester d.1955 Thanks Louise, I am sure this thread will become popular for obvious reasons. Steve

Hi Steve, No other likely matches for years 1980-1983 inclusive for your Gordon I'm afraid :O( I'll get on with your others for you tho! Louise :O)

Hi Steve, Here are your three deaths: Dec 1942 - Sarah J PESTER - aged 84 - Plymouth 5b 389 Mar 1959 - Edwin J A PESTER - aged 78 - Plymouth 7a 762 Dec 1955 - William A PESTER - aged 67 - Plymouth 7a 616 Louise :O)

Thanks for your kind offer. Could you please find a marriage for me of Harriet Ellen Rayment to either Jarman or Butcher. They married in 1882 in Essex. Many thanks Diane

Hi Louise, Many thanks for the birth information, will check it through. I am afraid I cannot give you any more information regarding the marriage, other than that their first child was born in 1923, so perhaps it could have been 1922. I appreciate your help. Jean

Hi Lesley, :O) Re: Looking for death of John Taylor b. 1803, we think he died about May 1881. He lived in Wigan, Lancashire. Not much luck so far I'm afraid - I searched all quarters of 1881 and 1882 for you, and none of the ages at death matched the year of birth. The closest were the following: Jun 1881 - John TAYLOR - aged 88 - Wigan 8c 24 Mar 1882 - John TAYLOR - aged 62 - Wigan 8c 37 Let me know if you'd like me to check other years. Louise :O)

Hi Kim, :O) Re: hi there is there any chance you could find a JOSEPH ROBERTSHAW b;1827c bolton on dearne yorkshire i have his wife and children but i am looking for JOSEPH with his parents/siblings if you can help i would be so very grateful many thanx kimx My offer was to help people track family members through the birth, marriage and death indexes, which they can use to order the relevant certificates. Sadly, records only began from Sep 1837 so I can't help you with this I'm afraid :O( Have you tried the IGI at familysearch.org? Good luck with your research, Louise :O)

Hi Louise Thank you for your very generous offer. I have Frederick FRICKER b.4 Nov 1839 in Beckington Somerset DIED 1914 don't know where but would assume it was wiltshire Thomas William CARR b. 15 Jul 1867 Norwood, London Death abt 1939 Iver Heath Bucks MaryLouisa CARR b. 28 Mar 1858 Barnsbury, London Death Late 1930's Iver Heath Please try 1937 to 1939 Thank you so much, All the best for a brilliant 2006. Sarah

Did you find anything Louise? Steve

Hi Louise Thank you very much for your offer. Would you kindly check for me - birth of John James Turner. On marriage cert in 1892 in Bethnal Green - age is quoted as 27 (which would imply 1865). There is a John James Turner on freebmd in mar 1863 BG, but to double check for me as such a common name would you check for me 1864,65,66 in Bethnal Green With many thanks Sarah
