Find Ancestors

No promises, but I will have a go for you. I only have access to England and Wales. Anything from the censuses, 1861-1901 (a few 1841) and BMDs 1866-1920. Please post here, and I will reply in order of those received. NOTE: I can only answer between 9AM and 5PM most days.

Yes, oh yes:- John Casson Shirtcliffe born 1849ish probably in Sheffield! I can find his marriage to Sarah Howson in Rotherham in 1870 and his death but no birth and no sign of him on the census! Any help gratefully received! Julie xxx

hi I was wondering if you could find the marriage of a Margaret Jenkins who I believe married in the September quarter 1854 in Carmarthenshire. I tried on Ancestry but couldn't find out who she married. Any help appreciated. Thanks Karen

Ann and Fred are probably mine but not the John Shirtcliffe miner cos his marriage cert says he was 19 in 1870 so would have been born 1849 ish! Thanks for looking though you are a star! Julie xxx

Karen, is it the one in Lampeter? Looking at the image the page could be 56a, which would imply John Morgans, but I would need more details about her to check.

Louise, John didn't marry Sophia until after the 1861 census... Susannah Shipton abt 1796 Shellow Bowells, Essex, England Head Willingale Doe Essex John Shipton abt 1827 Willingale Doe, Essex, England Son Willingale Doe Essex Hannah Clements abt 1845 Good Easter, Essex, England Servant Willingale Doe Essex Sophia White abt 1838 Wilingale, Essex, England Lodger High Ongar Essex Isabella White abt 1857 Wilingale, Essex, England Lodger High Ongar Essex Fredrick White abt 1859 Wilingale, Essex, England Lodger High Ongar Essex Alice White abt 1860 High Ongar, Essex, England Lodger High Ongar Essex Marriages Sep 1861 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Shipton John Ongar 4a 91 WHITE Sophia Ongar 4a 91 Births Jun 1859 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- White Frederick William Ongar 4a 71 1871 John Shipton abt 1827 Willingale Doe, Essex, England Head High Ongar Essex Sophia Shipton abt 1838 Willingale Doe, Essex, England Wife High Ongar Essex Frederick Shipton abt 1859 Willingale Doe, Essex, England Son High Ongar Essex Caroline Shipton abt 1863 High Ongar, Essex, England Daughter High Ongar Essex Louisa Shipton abt 1865 High Ongar, Essex, England Daughter High Ongar Essex Harry Shipton abt 1866 High Ongar, Essex, England Son High Ongar Essex Elizabeth Shipton abt 1868 High Ongar, Essex, England Daughter High Ongar Essex William Shipton abt 1871 High Ongar, Essex, England Son High Ongar Essex Isabella S Shipton abt 1856 Willinggale, Essex, England Servant High Ongar Essex

Sorry Tracy It is Margaret Jenkins married September quarter 1859 not 1854 in Carmarthenshire, Dyfed. Thanks Karen

Ahh, ok Karen. In that case, I can't help I'm afraid. There are no others transcribed from that page. You will have to either order the cert, or wait for freeBMD to transcribe it.
