Thanks very much Deb, will have to make sure i keep a note of that for future reference.

Robyne Just looked it up, and Felsham, Hessett and Rattlesden are all in the same registration district of Stow. In fact, they are all practically next door to each other. There's a really useful website that has info on all the parishes and reg. districts of Suffolk - I've found it invaluable. It's http://www*jhoddy*demon*co*uk/murrels/sfk_pash*htm (Just replace * with .) Regards Deb

Hi I got the info from her marriage cert. Her children all had Wemyss as their middle names too. Apparently my grandad used to make jokes that they were double-barrelled. That birth cert has father Thomas and mother Margaret Hall, so no reference to Christopher. The only thing i can think of is if her mother remarried a Christopher Wemyss, but even then it would say father Christopher Wemyss and not Christopher Nicholson. Maybe they lied as they were both 19 when they got married. Did they need their parents permission?

Is this Ellen's birth ref: Births Dec 1860 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NICHOLSON Ellen Newcastle T 10b 14

Hi Dea I have ordered that one, but unfortunatly the fathers name is wrong. On the cert it is Thomas instead of Christopher. If a father is dead, would it say deceased under his name, or would it probably not say anything? Thanks for looking though

I can find birth - Ellen Nicholson - Newcastle 1860 Ref 10b 14 Dec. quarter,. Dea

Hi Lady Liberty Thanks so much for that! i think thats part of the problem as i have no idea about the areas and what could be close or not!
