Find Ancestors

Did you manage to find it Richard ? .. it IS on FreeBMD. I will post the info when you have had a chance to look for yourself. Elaine :-)

Hi Richard, Have you ever used FreeBMD ? its a FREE site and although its not 100% complete, it MAY have the marriage listed. Type in FreeBMD into your search facility on your browser ... it should thow up the site ...then click on it. Just incase you know how to enter an address: http://freebmd.rootsweb(.)com ..remove() from address. Enter the names of the two people and the year and see IF it throws up a match. I will check for you as well ... but you need to learn how to do this, so you can help yourself with these little things. Elaine :-)

Please can someone find the marriage ref for William Jones and Jane Garbett West Bromwich 1897. Please find the gro for purchasing this certificate from West Bromwich register office, Regards Richard

Richard, Why do you keep nudging this thread onto page 1 ? your not asking for any further information. Anything you do ask will be answered. Information you need from this thread can be looked at without nudging Richard. Have you asked a question that has not been answered yet ? Elaine :-)

On your tree ... You need to change Lucy Elizabeth HOLMES b 1893 to Lucy Elizabeth MITCHELL b 1893 She is the daughter of George Henry Mitchell b 1871 and Lucy Madeley b 1869 They married 1892 (Sept qtr) 1892 in West Bromwich. Lucy Mitchell married Joseph Holmes and had Margaret Lucy Holmes in 1925 Elaine :-)

Message from Richard, 'Derby, please can you find the marriage of Elizabeth Brookes and John Johnson in West Bromwich. I would guess around 1920. Regards Richard '

and so are: Jess, Tracy, Heather, Jeanette, Rosemary ... to name just a few.......... Dancer

Richard, Dancer is working as hard as she can on this - she hasn't forgotten you. There are a few of us tying to put all the peices together for you. Give us just a little while please. Jess x

Richard, You asked for Emily Pitt's rference number for her birth at the Registry Office. I have found this on West Midlands BMD site - given to me by Heather who is helping out so much :http://www.bmsgh.org/cgi/birthind.cgi Name: Emily Pitt Sub District: Wednesbury Year: 1873 Reference Number: WED/57/364 The register is held at Sandwell, so you would have to get the phone number ... unless someone has already given it to you and you have written it down. It will STILL cost you £7 ... they will NOT tell you what information is on the certificate. Dancer

Richard, Wednesbury, as you know, would come under the West Bromwich district. West Bromwich has the reference number 6b after 1852. There are NO John Pitt 's marrying under the 6b ref between and including Dec 1854 to Dec 1857 on the Marriage Indexes on 1837online. This means a) that John did NOT marry in Wednesbury - but I find this hard to believe. or b) He married Elizabeth before Dec 1854 or after Dec 1857. Since we can not find a DEFINATE marriage for John Pitt to Elizabeth ... then we NEED to know Emily's Mum';s name from the birth certificate ... at least then we can search again. Dancer

OK Richard, Bearing in mind the information that Heather has found ...which IS a possibility ... here's some information on Elizabeth Dudley: Could have been born c1838 ELIZABETH DUDLEY Female Event(s): Birth: Christening: 15 MAR 1840 Saint Bartholomew, Wednesbury, Stafford, England Parents: Father: JOSEPH DUDLEY Family Mother: BETSY Messages: Extracted birth or christening record for the locality listed in the record. Possibility !!! ...................BUT I REALLY think if NOTHING else, you SHOULD BUY Emily's birth certificate to MAKE sure of her Mum's name: Birth: Emily Pitt W. Brom Sept 1873 6b. 813 IF her Mum is Elizabeth Dudley ..then we can take both the Pitts /Dudley and Berry's back to 1841 census for you ... BUT you NEED Emily's BIRTH CERT. Ask someone to buy it for you as a Christmas Present ... and then come back on and tell us what it says ! Dancer

I don't know if this is a possibility John Pitt and Elizabeth Dudley married in Tipton 1855 Heather

Richard, no need to nudge. We are working on your family behind the scenes. We will add the info as we find it. Can't find the marriage yet. We won't forget you ... don't worry. Go and have a drink and something to eat. Dancer

I will try Richard, but I remember spending a fortune on 1837online indexes ...I WISH I had managed to save the pages .. but my PC froze before I saved them, so I will have to do it again. Bear with us Richard, we will get you your family tree somehow. Dancer

Ok Thanks Derby, Can you please try to find John and Elizabeths marriage and give me her maiden name. Regards Richard

Hi Richard. DO NOT delete this thread. What I am going to TRY and do, is get all the information regarding YOUR family on this one thread. Somehow, I will try and put all the information found together for you so that you can understand it better. This MAY take a few days to do ... so DON'T delete the thread please. I will do everything I can for you ... and no doubt OTHERS will help as well. No need for any more requests from you on other threads ... if you need to ask something, ask on here ... and I/we will sort it for you best we can. OK ? Dancer :-)

Jess, sorry but I havnt been writing these notes down but I will make sure I do this time. Regards Richard

Ok Derby, Thanks

Richard - from the notes you have made (or i hope you have made) where and when did they marry - (someone has already looked it up for you) Jess x
