I have ordered quite a few birth certificates but i am having trouble finding the following people. William Albert Diccox (wife was called irene may carron, daughters joyce and valerie diccox) Irene May Carron (as above) George Herbert Price (he had a son with exactly the same name who was born in the birmingham area of st.martins in 1924). Fanny Ravenscroft (married to george herbert price) If anyone can help me find any or all of these i would be very very grateful, thanks.

You need to give a rough idea of when each of these people were born and an idea of what area of the country it might be. Kath. x

What are the a the ages of these people Karl? If you have marriage certifcates then you should have ages, and be able to work out approx dates of birth Sam

Have no real idea on dates George herbert price would have been born in birmingham between 1895 and 1904. Irene May Corran would have been born in wales and would have been born between 1900 and 1924. Fanny Ravenscroft would have been born between 1880 and 1904. William Albert Diccox would have been born between 1900 and 1924. I cannot give any more information than this, thanks.

If you look on FreeBMD you will find quite a few George Herbert Prices, so we need some more information to pick the right one. Kate.

This might well be your Fanny Ravenscroft, from FreeBMD: Births Mar 1883 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- RAVENSCROFT Fanny Aston 6d 389 Kate.

The only problem is there is also this marriage on FreeBMD: Marriages Sep 1902 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Bratt Eleanor Florence Aston 6d 501 Hopkins Harry Aston 6d 501 Ketley Ernest Aston 6d 501 Ravenscroft Fanny Aston 6d 501 Do you know if your Fanny Ravenscroft was married before she married George?

Kate Report 12 Oct 2005 23:09

Slightly outside the dates you gave for George, but I think it would be worth trying this one: Births Dec 1894 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Price George Herbert Aston 6d 225 Kate.
