Not knowing Essex that well how far apart are Epping & Heywood

Have you seen the Heywood birth certificate, unless you see it then you cannot really discount it.

Many of us have found relatives born in totally a different place than we were expecting.

Me I thought all my family were from South London, only to discover G/Gran and her 1st child were from Bristol, no wonder I had originally never found much about them. So not only not in same area but a totally different county.

i thought i could go & view records in local area (epping) & go through looking for miss spelling s etc that may link him to the same dates

That's what I'm doing now with the indexes.

Back later!

Are the siblings John, Ann and Keith?

Steve

Steve Report 16 Aug 2012 16:05

yes they are thanks

Janice

Janice Report 16 Aug 2012 16:06

That's a shame! Ann is Ann W and so I was hoping that could have been Alan W :-(

It is possible that the details did not reach the GRO.
Last time I bought a cert. from the local office I filled out a form paid the money and was given the cert. in 10 minutes but sometimes they will post it to you.
Ps
If they cannot provide a cert. they will refund your money.
