Hi nice offer Could u please look up deaths of G F JONES b1848 MARY A JONES b abt 1853 both died FALMOUTH after 1901 many thanks

Hi Ann, I would appreciate a look for Francis Kennedy born in Bermondsey sometime between 1847-1851. This is taking all his ages on the various census into consideration. Many many thanks, Lorraine

Thankyou very much Ann (and husband).

Hi Dawn, The FRC is the Family Records Centre. It is in Myddleton Road in Islington. I live in Catford so it takes me an hour to get there. At the minute I am using it for Birth, marriages, Deaths searches as I have not got back very far with my tree as yet. But I believe there are lots of other records there too for when I get further back. It is free to search all the indexes, so saves a fortune on 1837online. Regards Ann

Hi Ann, if time permits please could you look up the following for me: Deaths - Ralph Dickinson, 1851 Bolton Dec quarter Vol 21 Page 141 + 1892 Garstang Sept quarter 8e 434 / Henry Dickinson 1905 Sept quarter Ulverston 8e 455, I cannot seem to find either of them in Lancashire after 1851 census. Also could you also look up a marriage for Harry Dickinson, Leigh 8c 440 March 1902. Any additional information listed would be much appreciated ie. parents, witnesses etc. Thank you, Jennifer Dickinson.

Hi Ann many thanks for trying, I think she was missed off, or hidden in a parish register somewhere, almost positive no later than 1837....for once the census ages don't vary!! Cheers Helen

Hi Ann, If you are still going to FRC next week I would appreciate a look up for my great grandfather's death. I think he died in Sheffield after May 1893. That was the date of his wife Mary's death and he was shown as present at death on certificate. She died at Burnt Tree Lane Sheffield. He is not showing on 1901 census. His name is William Woodruff, born in Glossop c 1833. Could also be John William Woodruff. That name was on one birth certificate of his children but only William on 6 others!! Kind regards, Margaret

Hi Helen, Sorry no luck on Sarah Jane Harper we tried 1837-1839. Let me know if you think it would be worth me looking later. Regards Ann
