Thanks for looking Tracy this may her her although not sure. Another star of Genes looked for Melisa Ann Pratt and found her under Melisar A Ratt! Regards Kay.

thanks Tracey, that saved me paying the fee for just 2 entries you have been a great help for me today. I had a bad day yesterday and lost my enjoyment for tracing my history. I have been coming up with lots of blanks but With a little help from people like you I have got back my drive to continue with the search. Keep up the good work Kathy

Tracey Could you please look up Thomas Moorer on british origins. I did a search and there seems to be a marriage and a burial listed. I am looking for a Thomas moorer married to Matilda. Their children were born early 1820's in St. Mary Lambeth but I have had no joy with their marriage. They had an earlier Child also Thomas Moorer. I found his marriage and the father is my Thomas. thanks kathy

I just ordered it. I did not specify the father since I thought maybe this birth might be an illegitimate daughter for my Margaret Daisy. Thank you for your help. I looked at the 1837 sheets I had printed down yesterday and found Maragaret d Smart just where you said she was. I must have been having a senior day!!!

I suppose anything is possible. Perhaps they didn't register her when she was born, and since that was illegal, they did it before her marriage? Only way to be sure is to buy it I'm afraid. Since you know her father's name, you can ask for a reference check on this. They will refund you part of the money if it's not the same.

Tracey thanks for that I was beggining to think my mother in law was not who she said she was. Maragret daisy Ward said spinster on her marriage cert. I found a birth for the same name in mar qtr 1905 which is the quarter she was married in. I wonder if that was her with a very late registration for her Birth. Did that happen??

Janine, any ideas who her parents were? I don't have the 1851 census, only 1861.

Kathleen, I found the Smart one... Birth Mar 1911 Smart Margaret D Southwark 1d 3 Still working on the other. I can't find the other... was she a spinster on the marriage cert?

Tracey I have been looking for Margaret Daisy Ward born C1886 father Benjamin. I would think in London but I am not sure as only have marriage cert feb 1905 which is where I found this infomation. I am also looking for Margaret Daisy Smart 25/11/1910 also London. Parents Margaret Daisy Ward and William Joseph Smart. I have tried to find the births on FreeBMD I als looked in 1837 but no luck. I don't know if you will have more luck than me. Thanks Kathy

Sorry Miranda. I've been looking with the E lol Normally on Ancestry US, the names are spelled right. I'll check all the others for without the E. It certainly looks like them in 1870. I think they must've been in Australia in 1860. They have a son, aged 10, born there. John Mccomb San Francisco Ward 11, San Francisco, CA abt 1827 England White Male Sarah Mccomb San Francisco Ward 11, San Francisco, CA abt 1832 Scotland White Female John Mccomb San Francisco Ward 11, San Francisco, CA abt 1849 Scotland White Male Ann Mccomb San Francisco Ward 11, San Francisco, CA abt 1854 California White Female Geo Mccomb San Francisco Ward 11, San Francisco, CA abt 1856 Pacific Ocean White Male Mary Mccomb San Francisco Ward 11, San Francisco, CA abt 1858 Australia White Female Thos Mccomb San Francisco Ward 11, San Francisco, CA abt 1860 Australia White Male Edward Mccomb San Francisco Ward 11, San Francisco, CA abt 1865 California White Male The 1890 census didn't survive very well, so there is very little of it around. They won't be found there.

Maybe you can help re McCombe - I have just taken out free trial on US Ancestry, and have found under 1870 Federal for CA John McComb (no e) and Sarah, Geo, John, Mary, Thos - I think this must be the right family. Free trial doesn't let me see any more details - address and place of birth which I would be very grateful to know. Many thanks, Miranda

Sorry Miranda. They're not showing up anywhere except 1880. Unless you want these two from 1860 John Mccombe Walker, Moniteau, MO abt 1829 Ireland White Male Sarah Mccombe Walker, Moniteau, MO abt 1843 Ireland White Female No children on the page though.

Re Gibbons. Thanks anyway. FYI there does seem to be a state census for 1875, but I guess this is not available from Ancestry.com. Can I ask one more favour? McCombe family in San Francisco, California. I have found them in 1880: John b. c. 1828 Isle of France [Mauritius] Sarah b. c. 1834 Scotland and children John, George, Ella, Mary,Thomas, Elliot Could you check 1860/1870/1890? If you need more info I can give children's approx dob. Many thanks, Miranda

Sorry Miranda. They're not there in 1870. I don't think it's complete though. There isn't an 1875 one. In 1881, Alice is down as being born in Canada. Maybe they're there?

Re Gibbons family, Niagara. Thanks for checking. William Austin Gibbons born Manchester 1842, married Hannah in England and emigrated, supposedly to 'the New York side of Niagara Falls' where they had a restuarant, and where daughter Alice was born c. 1871. Son William maybe born US, maybe Canada where they moved to at some point before returning to England 1878. It could be that they fall between every gap and won't feature on any census! By the way, Hannah was catholic, but I don't know about William. Thanks again, Miranda

June, I have put a message on the board that you created after you posted your request to me. No point me doing a load of work on it if other people did it last night lol
