It arrived!! Frederick Chipperton's father was called....Frederick! A Porter. No clue to his mother but i do have a year of birth now. He was 29 when he married in 1884 therefore b1855 and not 1857. Wonder if this was a leap year? How does one find out?! Off to scour familysearch - AGAIN! Alison x |

To Alison Page....I wonder if this can be the reason I can't find details of James Blears b. 1861 in Salford, were all the records destroyed?? |

Hi Gail, It does seem to be that not all births are registered, however it could also be that we have just been given defunct information. Everything needs to be checked and doublechecked. This can be ery tedious but it is excellent when you eventually find a connection. I spent last night trawlling through marriage records on 1837 and cannot find any record of Frederick Chipperton Seniors marriage! EEEEEk another dead end! C'est la vie! Alison |
