Hi there,

A couple of things if you can help at all.

Am searching for info on an Albert J Rutland born circa 1894 who died whilst he was a child. I cannot find birth or death records. Any info would be appreciated.

Also trying to locate any info on the parents of (and any further generations back) William Thomas Steptoe born 15th Nov 1895. I believe his father was a Frederick William Steptoe, but have no records of birth, death or his marriage or his parents or siblings etc. Any help would be fantastic.
Thank you.

Lesley that's great, thank you for your help.
The last one pretty much confirmed it was the first George that you found.
Could you look for one last thing for me and see if you can see George in 1891 and 1901.
I have him in 1881 in burton, he was married to Elizabeth by then.
Thanks again!

Cant locate a death in that area.

Lesley

Wow guys, this is all so helpful. Thank you.
Arta L Harwood could be Frederick Steptoe's couldn't she, Lesley? Illegitimately, admittedly. But still? I'm scared I'm writeing this all into my tree wrong because there's so much info here. Thank you.

I doubt any of this is wrong ....you were absolutely brilliant with the dates of birth and places of birth and with a name like steptoe which is not a popular name its really all you needed.

People like you make our lives easier.lol

Lesley

Thank you so much Lesley, I may have to pick your brains again at some point if that's okay. I'm bound to hit a wall again soon.
Laura

Send it to me via email via GR if its tonight am off to bed but will be up early tommorrow.

staying up for about another half hour

Lesley

Another question, if you have any info:
Charles Druce (circa 1836) and his brother James (circa 1839). I'm trying to trace their mother and father + any other siblings (or their parents' siblings etc). They would also have been born around the Wycombe District, maybe Wheeler End or Marlow, maybe Princes Risborough?
