Find Ancestors

Hi sue, Yes, Whiston does mean something we found a lot of Foers' from there. The George I'm looking for must have lived there at one point as all his children are christened there . They were John b 1823, William b 1829, Lydia b 1834 and Mary b 1831. George's wife was Alice (62 in 1861 census). I have a birth date for 1767 for a George Foers who could possibly be my particular George's father but I can't understand why i can't find a birth record for my george! Since all of his relatives seem to have been baptised. Laughton is a village about 3 villages away from Whiston. I have a list of parishes that were close by to Laughton but am unsure what to do with them Thanks, Julia

sorry linda, 45 entries for gould, only 1 in sheffield, 6/1/1645 ed'r'us son of will'i gould. sue.

hi julia, what other info have you got. there are quite a few foers on the vri. does the place 'whiston' mean anything to you.the only george on the vri was born there , but in 1767, i have never heard of laughton en le morthen, but on the parish record disc, it seems to be near rotherham. what areas have you got so far, sue.

Hi Sue Can you help please regarding marriage of Thomas Gould born 1802 (Ardwick) married Frances M. ? (c 1806 Sheffield) all the children born Sheffield so assume they married there. First child born 1833 (Charles) presume the marriage will be around 1832 but I can't find it, hope you can help. Many thanks Linda Ps One address I have is Wilkinson Street but not until much later on the 1861.

thanks for looking. I started doing our family tree as a surprise for my dad's 60th birthday but have become completely addicted! I did really well to begin with but feel like i'm at a dead end. Can you tell me which parishes it means he couldn't have been baptised in please? And also would it be possible to give me the other names, as it isn't a very common name so there must be a link somewhere. Failing that do you have any idea what I can do now? Does it possibly mean that he wasn't baptised? Are there any other ways of finding his father's name? thank you again julia

hi julia, there are 5 entries -all rotherham for foers- none are george, sue.

Hi Sue Im looking for a George foers born c1799 in laughton en le morthen. have checked the parish records already and no luck. I think i may have found him in the 1841 census but i'm not sure. any information would be much appreciated, I seem to have hit a brick wall! thanks julia

Sue Thanks for looking anyway. Regards Joanne
