Hi everyone Am going to the FRO London next Thursday, for a few hours. If I can help with a look up for anyone, please let me know and will do as much as I can. Regards Liz

Hi Elizabeth, If you don't mind I am after anything you can find on John Thornalley born c1824 Wainfleet, Lincoln William Cook/Cooke born c 1824 Alvington, Gloucester Stephen Vickers born c1856 Deal, Kent and his wife Eliza Shaw born c1860 Ripple, Kent. Laurie

Hi Laura, Will see what can find - although as you are probably aware BMD's there are from 1837 - will check census returns/surnames interests etc to see what I can find Liz

Hi Liz If you have time could you look up a marriage for me. Frederick Lock b.1838/39 Ridge, Hertford Susan b.1837/38 Lonstiff/Lowestoft Suffolk. I am desparate to find out what Susan's maiden name was. Their eldest child was born in 1870 so I assume they were married just before that (although I know we can't take anything for granted in this game!) Can't find anything on the net. Regards Jeanette

Hi your a star, could you see if you can find Joseph Smaje born in paddington about 1839 but this may not be exact as ive seen in listed as 1837 also. Any info would be brilliant. Bri Liverpool/Leeds

Hi Elizabeth, I'm trying to find the parents of Henry George Dipple born 1856 and any brothers or sisters. He was born in Bethnall Green. Any help would be greatly appreciated if you have the time. Thanks. Maggie

If you get the chance and time I'd be grateful for any information on the birth on Esther Harriett Barnett, born Wellingborough or Kettering Northants Nov.6th 1889 or 1890. Unsure who her mother and father were. Thanks. Mary Brooke

Hi Elizabeth Thank you for your very kind offer. I have just received the birth certificate for my ggrandfather,Henry Arthur Barwick (born 13/12/1847). His father's name was Henry Daniel Barwick(occupation Plumber & Glazier)and his mother's name was Caroline Barwick, formerly Davenport. Their address at that time was 1 George Street, Shoreditch. (Registration District Shoreditch, Sub-District Holywell & Moorfields). I would be most grateful for any further information on any of the above. Regards Sandra (Lancs)

Hi everyone Am keeping an eye on replies. I will look up as much as I can. After my visit next Thurs, I will get around to replying, but please bear with me. Regards Liz

Elizabeth, If you haven't been too inundated I'd appreciate some help with my grandmother. Her name was Maud Gwendoline Rosamund Webb and she was born 13th february 1913 or 1912. I managed to find it when I was at the FRO a few months back but for the life of me I can't find where I wrote the reference to get the birth certificate for her parents full names. It's definitely in the book for the March quarter - that much I remember. if you don't have time it's not a problem as I'll be back myself in the next couple of months. By the way it's addictive. I managed to spend a whole day in there without realising the time until someone offered to help me put my books away!! HAVE FUN Zoe

Elizabeth, Managed to find my scrap of paper with my gran's details in my legendary "safe place". Hope you've not left already and I've wasted any of your time All the best Zoe

Hi there Am still going to FRC next Thursday - and hope that I can find information requested. Dependenton the time I leave the FRC (unless I can organise to be locked in and let loose!) -I will try and start replying Thurs pm,of Friday. Regards Liz

Hi there What a day, spent 6 and halfhours there, came out having spent on 9 certs, now have the nail biting wait - until delivery. I have managed to glean a bit of information for some,will contact you direct, sorry it will not be a lot - but next time I go, ifyou have anything then- will try and have a look. Liz

Elizabeth, Well done I thought that was an extremely generous offer, whenever I go to FRO I try to pare down my list of things I want to find out to a managable and doable one, and I never get through all the stuff I want for myself never mind the extras for other people. I could happly spend a week there. Well done if you did manage to find out anything for your enquiriers, some of whom had rather tall orders I thought. Pam
