Find Ancestors

My Great-Grandfather is/was Bert Wicks. He was born in 1885 and lived in Luton. I do not have the name of his wife, and wondered if anybody might be able to help??? I'd really appreciate it if anybody could find a lead. cheers

any idea if he was married by 1901? was he realy a 'Bert' - or Albert or Herbert? any idea where he was born? Otherwise, did he have brothers and sisters jess

1887 i should think - or thats when his birth was registered Name: Wicks, Bertie Record Type: Births Quarter: June Year: 1887 District: Luton County: Bedfordshire Hertfordshire Volume: 3b Page: 413 (click to see others on page

1891 thats better Wicks, Ada abt 1856 Leagrave, Bedfordshire Wife Luton Bedfordshire Wicks, Annie Eliza abt 1883 Leagrave, Bedfordshire Daughter Luton Bedfordshire Wicks, Bertie abt 1888 Leagrave, Bedfordshire Son Luton Bedfordshire Wicks, Freder Robert abt 1884 Leagrave, Bedfordshire Son Luton Bedfordshire Wicks, George abt 1860 Sunbury, Bedfordshire Head Luton Bedfordshire

Adam , this is the same family just one in 1891 and one in 1901. the place name change is called a mistranscription. We'll have to hope he married early for it to be on ancestry

Adam- these are the age they were in 1901. Ada Wicks age 45 is his mother Annie Wicks aged 18- his sister Arthur Wicks aged 9 his brother Bert Wicks 13 Frederick Wicks aged 17 - another brother George Wicks aged 42 - his father Horace Wicks aged 8 - another brother

Adam Did he have any children, if so when were they born. Vcitor

adam , can you put answers and questions on here by clicking on add a reply and typing, then everyone that wants to help can do so.

thanks....will do

bert's daughter is dorothy wicks, born 1919, died 1984...will this help find his wife(her mother)?

Definately Adam! Dorothies birth certificate will give her Mum's name AND Maiden name, as well as actual date of birth and address where she was born. You will need to search the year of her birth on 1837online. You need to register and then purchase £5 of credit to look for her ...unless you KNOW her birth date ? Dancer x VICTOR ... are you going to 1837 if so I'll help you with 1919

thanks dancer....will i find that on freebmd?

No Adam, Unfortunately FreeBMD only goes upto 1911 at the moment, you definately need 1837online. Do you KNOW her birth date ? and WHERE she was born ? Dancer x

yeah, dorothy was born 1919 in luton

Adam, does you mum remember when dorothys birthday was, even what time of year will help

Adam, Could Dorothy have been born in Colchester ? There is a Dorothy E Wicks b Colchester in Sept qtr 1919. 4a, 1242. Mothers maiden name = Clay Dec qtr isn't available to me for some reason. I've NOT checked March or June qtrs Dancer x

just waiting on a txt to find that out

Adam Found this on 1837 WICKS Dorothy R Mother maiden name Simpkins Quarter Dec 1918 District Luton Vol 3B Page 527 If you think this could be your Dorothy you could send for her birth certificate to find out who the parents were. Victor

Victor, Do you want me to check Mar/June 1919 ? or are you already doing that ! ? Dancer x
