Ok Sheila, Thanks very much for trying anyway, much appreciated Tracey

Hi Sheila, Would be much appreciated if you could look for: Peter Jones born 1844 Llanelidan, Denbigh, Wales Margaret Humphreys born 1849 Llanarmon, Denbigh, Wales. I have these as married on the 1881 census and would dearly like to know their parents or family members. Hope this isn't too much to ask , especially the Jones! Many thanks Joan

Joan, cannot find Peter This may be Margarets? 1871 Wales census HUMPHREY HUMPHREYS 60 head,lawyer CATHERINE 53 wife MARGARET 23 dtr general servant CATHERINE 12 dtr ELIZABETH 14 dtr ROBERT 15 son THOMAS DAVIES 28 stepson, lead miner all born Llanarmon living Berth Ucha, parish of Eryrys, Denbighshire

Hi Sheila, Many thanks for that. I am having awful trouble with the Jones's. That is definitely the Humphreys family I was looking for. Think it will have to be the Records Office for Peter's family. Thanks again Regards Joan

Unfortunately neither of those is the one I am looking for but thank you ever so much for trying. Thanks Stella

Hi Sheila, If possible could you also have a look in the 1881 & 1891 census for Michael & Ellen Rabbitt Living in Salford. Cheers, Glen.

Hi Sheila, I have tried and tried to order birth certificate for George James Hone. No luck. Says can't order before 1900. Tried phoning but can't get through. Any suggestions please as stumped til I get this certificate. Hello again, managed to order by telephone yesterday. Fingers crossed will have info I need. Thanks for help again. Best wishes, Pam.

Hello Sheila, many thanks for the offer to look up for all concerned. Would like any information you may be able to find on my gt grandfather Seaton Porter, who was born in Udny, Aberdeen. I know his date of birth/death as in his obituary it was stated that he died on his birthday . He died in New Zealand on 9 June 1918, which makes his date of birth 1839. The Mystery is - on both his marriage and death certificates it states his mother is Mary Sangster, but I can only find a marriage for his father Rose Porter to a Mary Simpson in Old Machar, Aberdeen in June 1845. I already have info on Seatons marriage and the birth of the four children born in Scotland. I also have certificate of death for Rose Porter. By the way...how would Rose be pronounced? As in the flower, or is there a variation? many thanks for what ever you information you are able to supply Regards Brigitte

Hello Sheila I'd be very grateful for a look-up on the Northumberland 1871 census for my gt-granpa and his family: William Johnson (unfortunately a very common name!) born Haltwhistle, Northumberland in approx. 1863 Many thanks for offering to do this Regards Helen
