Hi Louise 1837 is the GRO index for births, marriages and deaths, so I would need a specific request in order to search for you. If you can narrow down years a bit and say whether you want their birth, marriage or death, then I can try to help. Otherwise it's a bit needle & haystack lol! Mandy :)

Hi Andrew Civil Registration didn't start until 1837 (hence the name of the site) so I'm unable to look up anything for 1820. Sorry I can't help. Mandy :)

Mandy,that looks like the right one! Thankyou sooooo much Misty :)

Hi Sharon Marriage of THOMAS COHEN GREEN to MARY ANN JACKSON registered first quarter of 1861 in Wolverhampton, vol 6b, page 475. Mandy :)

Hi Allan This is another one where the geography beats me! I've found two possibles: ISAAC IRELAND birth registered second quarter 1840 West Derby, vol XX, page 905 ISAAC IRELAND birth registered third quarter 1841 Ulverstone, vol 25, page 201 Hope this helps. Mandy :)

Thanks for all the trouble Mandy. You are an ANGEL xxxxx Margaret

Hi Mandy, Thank you for offering. If you have any credits left can you check a birth for Robert Grieveson, born 1850, Sunderland. sorry that's all the info. I have, what i am looking for is his father and mother's names, no worries if you can't find it. thanks, Tricia

ooooh thanks so much for that Mandy, you are a *! S x

Hi Tricia The only one I can find that fits in has a different first name, Richard instead of Robert. These are the details: RICHARD GRIEVESON birth registered in second quarter of 1850, Sunderland, vol XXIV, page 320. The only way that you will obtain parents' details is by using the reference given above to order the certificate. Hope this helps! Mandy :)

Hi Mandy Looking for the Marriage of a Graham John Roberts to a Brenda Creese 1967 leicester Thank you Bev

Hi Thanks for the offer. If you have any credits left I'd really appreciate a birth look-up. This rellie has been a big problem to find! John Coyne In 1891 & 1901 census it's Coyne. But in 1881 its spelt Kind. I know it's different but its definately the same family. Can't find him anywhere in Derbyshire myself, his parents came from Stafford and some siblings were born there and others in Derbyshire. John Coyne born 1875 Claycrass Nr Newmarket Derbyshire. Parents were Francis & Sarah Coyne. Thanks again in advance for any help you can offer. Regards Sandra

Hi Bev Marriage of GRAHAM J ROBERTS to BRENDA CREESE registered in third quarter of 1967, Leicester, vol 3a, page 2169. Mandy :)

Hi Sandra/Looby! Sorry, not too much luck with this one. There is only one John Coyne birth in 1875, and although I'm not very good at geography, I think it might be too far away. JOHN COYNE birth registered third quarter 1875, Salford, vol 8d, page 5. Misspellings are more likely to occur in censuses, due to enumerators' spellings, local accents, etc. So if other family members are registered as 'Coyne', I would think it's fairly safe to assume that John would also have been registered as 'Coyne'. I did also check under 'Coyn' and 'Coin' but no luck. Mandy :)

Thank you Mandy Bev

hi mandy thanks for the kind offer. i was wondering if you could do a lookup for a marriage between AUSTIN WOOD and RUTH HUMBLE, circa 1912. if you do find anything, then that would be fantastic. thanks :)

Hi Pamela I've been half-successful! At that time, they weren't putting the partner's surname on the index. I have found Ruth but in cross-checking, I couldn't find an Austin Wood to match up with it. This is what I found: Marriage of RUTH HUMBLE registered fourth quarter 1911, Auckland, vol 10a, page 451. I hope that this is the right one. Mandy :)

Thanks you so very very much for your kind offer. I am looking for a marriage of MARY FORD/ to a DRISCOLL ref 1c that is East London ref. 1851after census/1852, she had a son John Driscoll by the 1861 census, he was 9 years old and she was a widow. Sorry that is all I have if not enough info please do not worry. Many thanks Irene

Hi Irene Sorry I haven't been able to find your FORD/DRISCOLL marriage. I've checked all around 1851 and 1852 and although there are some Fords and Driscolls, none of them match on the same page. I've also looked on Ancestry but can't find it there either. Mandy :)

Hi Sheila You just got in with the last few credits lol! Death of SAMUEL WEATHERHEAD registered second quarter of 1863, Newcastle T, vol 10b, page 18. You would need to order a copy of the death certificate to find out any further information; there was no age on the index. I hope this helps. Mandy :)

Thank you Mandy for looking for my Fords/Driscolls that really was very kind of you and much appreciated. Back to the drawing board for me. Regards Irene
