Find Ancestors

Hi,im totaly new to finding my family tree,ive tried,but getting nowhere,maybe you can help me or point me in right direction. Ive tried some of the big internet sites but getting nowhere. ive been told to start with my fathers line,and got my fathers dads death certificate and his wifes,so i think i need there birth certificates,so if you can help me,maybe have a look for me then show me what to do,that would be fantastic. my grandad was born on 22nd november 1894 at greenwich in london his name was frederick thomas hough,and he died on 26th of october 1977.he was a lighterman[retired] My grandmother was born on16th august 1891 at tottenham.haringey,her name was gladys elizabeth hough[maiden name thompson],and died on 31 august 1980. I think her original family came from cornwall,but all my family have died now so its hard to get info from them. If you can help,thats lovely,but im a bit confused ,mainly finding certificates and then finding out the best way to buy them,either on line or post,thanks again,from dave, My email is [email protected]

Pat Sorry but not finding the Hakens on 1891,very strange,if I have time I could look through Aldeburgh for you. Also having problems sending the image from 1901,probably doing something daft.If you message me direct with your snail mailaddy I will send the ptint to you. Regards mary

Sylvia Having trouble with your Winter folk,can you give me any more clues like where they ere born ,any occupation known and do the ages refer to 1891 or 1901? Regards Mary

Hi I hope you are still doing 1891 or 1901 Ancestry lookups for people Im looking for Thomas WINTER, widower aged 48, there may be his children with him particularly Emma aged c26 and George aged c23...unsure of other children they would be in the Bethnal Green area of London Many thanks Sylvia

Hello Mary Thank you for the look up I'm not sure if its the right Alice or not to be honest I know she was 1 year old on the 1861 census so I guess this has to be her if there are no others. Thank you for your help. Frances

Elaine I could not find a James Keary on the 1891 who fitted the bill either too old or too young but I did find a James Kerry who seems a possible.I will give you details and leave you to ponder. Living at 10 John St,Tonge with Haulgh,Lancs James Kerry 28 Iron Driller b Manchester Mary E Kerry 27 Trostle spinner b Stockport,Cheshire William Kerry 3 Son b Manchester Elizabeth A Kerry 1 Daur b Salford John Kerry 4mths Son b Tonge Regards Mary

Frances Could this be your Alice Winter in 1871? Living at 18 Waterloo Place,Chatham Sarah Eliza Winter 46 Widow Dressmaker b Rochester Alice Winter 11 Daur Scholar b Bermondsey Frank Winter 9 Son Scholr b Canterbury Walter Winter 7 Son Scholar b Croyden She was the only one who matched on age and place of birth. Regards Mary

Darren Sorry still no go even with the extra info. ?Taken by aliens? Mary

I am looking for James Keary on 1891 census, born Manchester around 1865. Would be grateful if you could help? Elaine

ok thanks. I was not sure what the subscriptions allow you to access. Gloria

Hi Mary Thanks for the kind offer Could you do a look up on the 1871 census on Ancestry for me I am looking for an Alice Winter aged 11 born in Bermondsey Surrey.I am trying to work out who she belongs to!! Thank you. Frances

Darren No sign of them in Pendleton.Do you know where they were born so I can narrow it down a bit.A search for James Gregory in Lancs brings up about 300 names about half of them between 40 and 60years old so I need more info. Mary

Constance - it's so annoying because I have them all on 1901 census as Head/ wife but cannot find the marriages. I suppose they still might not have been married? x

Elaine I am sure I did this Lookup on my other thread a couple of days ago. I could find no trace of Michael Fox. Mary

Constance thank you - I was ever hopeful but I think I'm going to be unluck with these. It's so kind of you to look though, many thanks! Luv Lorr x x x

Elaine I am sure I did this Lookup on my other thread a couple of days ago. I could find no trace of Michael Fox. Mary

Hi Lorraine(Lorr) in Southampton Sorry but I cannot locate any of the Marriages you were asking for. Are you sure they all got wed. Ilooked for a marriage for Alfred and Sarah in 1885and 1886 as their daur Mabel was born in 1887 but could not tie them up(haha). as for the others so difficult without maiden names cos you cannot cross check. Good luck Mary

Dear Mary thank you for trying i can see this family as being a real pain i am finding it so difficult to locate any of them i have found two families that stem from Thomas that i know i did find a family in Cornwall that i think may be his Brother but apart from that i have hit a brick wall i have even changed the spelling of last name but also hit a wall i got two censuses 1981 and 1901 1881 says all his children were born in swansea 1901 says that 1 was born usa british citizen and 1 was born south africa british citizen can not seam to prove it either way i have tried to find the births but either missed them some how or they are not there so as he is my husbands ggg granfather i have proved beyound any doubt as i always suspected my husband is an alein . Thank you for trying it was very kind of you Diana

Constance thank you for this offer. What I am about to ask may be too much but I thought I would give it a try. Could you see if there is anything about these people - marriages? Alfred Dear born ?(1852) Salisbury to Sarah Sanger born ?(1862) Fovant Wilts. John Plumb born (1867) Bayswater to Sabina (unknown) 1869 born Netley, Hants. Henry Edwards born 1868 Birkenhead, Cheshire to Mary Eleanor (unknown) born 1872 Liverpool, Lancs. I'm not sure if what I'm asking is a momentous task so if it is I apologize and please ignore my request. Thank you for any help you may be able to give luv Lorr x x x
