i got loads of info from head stones most of my family are buried in a small cemetry in Lambley notts there isnt many other families in there (think they all bought their plots) i know it must be hard for some of me family if there are skeletons in the cupboard as you said it was different in them days and i suppose they never even imagined something like this site happening...x

Really? That sounds interesting skeggy girl! So even though its hard work, its not boring!

I think my dad's mum lied about her father's name on her marriage certificate because she was born out of a marriage. She put charles bailey- deceased, and i cant find him anywhere. It looks as though charles was her mothers dad so she put him to save embarrassment.
Understandable in those days.

Im finding it difficult to get info about family from 1736. Someone said to look for wills maybe, but i dont know how!
Do you know arch?

Im the same on my nan's side. Her dad died when she was 17 and she only knows her parents names and i cant seem to find their records anywhere.
My dad doesnt know hardly anything about his family but i got his dad's death certificate, birth certificate and marriage certificate and that helped a lot. Im stuck there though now lol.
Ive been following my grandad's side because he remembers loads so thats useful.

its sometimes hard to get back to the 1901 census, but then you have all the others to go at
