ok Shelli I have had a quick look at freecen, but not sure it will be of any help, but then it could be me! I will email you later, Thanks for all your help tonight Yvette

Yvette have you tried freecen that has Some not all earlier census, that cover some areas certainlt not all. Mail me the details and I'll look tomorrow , hubby itching to get on the comp!!! Shelli

Thanks Shelli, i appreciate the fact you have had a look for Alice. I dont know what it was about her and her husband William Elliff, neither of them have birth/baptism records, but i have a copy of the marriage certificate, so they had to come from somewhere!! Oh for a searchable census for 1861/71! Best wishes Yvette

yvette 1837 only give you the same info you get on Freebmd, except you pay to veiw 1837 and if you're unsure of dat can prove expensive. In later years after appox 1910(not sure of exact date) 1837 does give the mothers maiden name as well as the given surname at birth. hope this makes sense Have searched high and low for Alice and can't find her, sorry Shelli

Stan Thankyou for that, i appreciate your help. Does the entry in the 1837 give any other details? If so i will invest and do some searches. Regard Yvette

Stan don't put yourself down like that, i found Emma and ELiza but not alice, but i didn't look on 1837 just FreeBMD. FreeBMD has slowed right down now tho Shelli

Hi, Yvette I see Shelli got there before me, but I thought I would say FreeBMD worked for me just now, so never despair of it. I expect Shelli has a better source, but you will find an Emma and an Eliza Streeter on FreeBMD when you can get on to it. Eliza's page is a question mark, but I have established from 1837 that it is page 127. Regards Stan Driver

Thanks Shelli, just got your email and replied same way. Yvette

have mailed you directly Shelli

Problem solved i can now get in... Many thanks Shelli for your kind help. Regards Yvette
