Which ever one is nearest to Hythe. Type in registration districts on a google search for the addresses and phone numbers. Ros |

I am based in Kent, but nowhere near Hythe. I do'nt know where my brains have been, I never thought to get one of the later childrens birth certificate. I presume I need to write to Canterbury? Thanks for getting my brain in gear. Chris |

Where are you based? It may be possible to write to the local register office where the post 1837 children were born, send them the information and a cheque and see what they come up with. I can't see Spain as being a very common surname. Ros |

Ros, I have'nt got access to the indexes. I usually do my research by computer or post. Chris |

Have you looked at the indexes your self, or just on freeBMD? |

Civil registration didn't start until 1837, so you won't find any registration for them. To find Maria's maiden name look for the registration of one of the children born after 1837. Ros |

Thomas & Maria Spain. Thomas was born c1782 in Folkestone, Kent from 1851 census . Maria was born c1797 in Eastry. They look like they are not registered anywhere. First known child born Sep 1830 in Frogholt. Other known children Mary b1833, John b1836, Susannah b1839 & Thomas b1841 born in Newington Nr Hythe. Have tried bdm, family search, folkestone families (which incidentally, is a brilliant site for Folkestone) Folkestone Library and Helen. Where do I go from here? |
