Allison,

You still haven't let us know which John G. Spedding you are trying to find out about. In your initial post you said born 1892 in Greatham, but the most likely one is born 1910. There is another born c.1872 (probably the grandfather of the one born 1910).

Was the birth year of 1892 just a typing mistake or are you unsure of the dates?

As for sites to use there are loads but if you are just getting started then lots of us on here are willing to do look-ups for you but you need to give as much accurate information as you can.

Flippin auto correct! :-D

Hi all, the account is in my husbands name (forth) sorry for any confusion caused.

All the info I have was given to me by relatives some time ago, but can no longer get in touch with them.

Please forgive my ignorance on all the family tracing stuff, im quite a newbie to it all and don’t really know any of the sites you are supposed to use except for ancestry, genes reunited and free bed.

That is the family I posted from the 1901 census Greyghost. I think Allison needs to be more careful about dates when posting or it will be difficult to help her. She has already been asked to check her dates on another thread.

She has not read my message to her.

If it is John G. Spedding born 1910 that Allison is looking for then I would say his mother is most likely Jane Spedding born 1893 although only buying the birth certificate will conform this.

Allison has posted another thread about another family under name "Malcolm" a few minutes apart from this one, so should be around somewhere even if not UK

Have sent a pm to Allison asking her to come back to this thread although I think she may not live in England.

Greatham in Durham or Hampshire?

No birth reg's for a John George Spedding 1892 +/- 2 years

Where have you got your information from, how have you worked back to him?

EDIT - removed possible census as further info from a previous thread (extracts in a post below)

There is also a Greatham in Co. Durham, so we need to know exactly where.

Are you sure of his date of birth? There is this one living in Greatham on the 1901 census but he is born c. 1872:-

First name(s) Last name Relationship Marital status Sex Age Birth year Occupation Birth place

John George Spedding Head Married Male 29 1872 Ordinary Agricultural Labourer Elwick, Durham, England
Mary Louisa Spedding Wife Married Female 30 1871 - Luton, Bedfordshire, England
Jane Spedding Daughter - Female 8 1893 - Elwick, Durham, England
Emily Spedding Daughter - Female 6 1895 - Elwick, Durham, England
Ethel Spedding Daughter - Female 4 1897 - Greatham, Durham, England)

I can't see a birth for a John G. Spedding in 1892 in Greatham (registration district should be Hartlepool or at least Co. Durham).
