Find Living Relatives

ive found grandad birth he was from liverpool 1932,he married my nan 1961 birmingham.i cant find nan birth ?

ive tryed looking to see if christopher Connolly got married but dont show any research on free bmd .

Stephanie, Reggie's advice is straightforward not impolite I don't think.

For anyone of us starting or continuing our tree there are certain steps that have to be taken, one of which is that you start with what you DO know, which in this case is your mum's birth and buy that cert to be sure of her mothers name. No one helping can know what you have found already, which is why people ask 'Where have you looked, what have you done so far? " etc, because it would be pointless for people to search only to get the reply "yes I know all that already" :-)

Your mother did not have a middle name registered, nor did your aunt, but Winifred may have, checking your mum's birth cert may confirm that. and so make Winifred easier to trace.

Nothing I wrote was anything other than POLITE

thank you rambling rose i havent beeen on website in past few years ,it just come to mind know know ive done dad side family tree i think :-) i thought i do my mum even thou i dont no much bout my mum family only wat i no. thank you for time xx

As you've added a postem there you already know how to find your way round on the Freebmd site, which will give you the birth details for your mum , her sister and grandmother ( if that is indeed the right one) and then you can order certs easily online from the GRO :-)

You cannot progress without purchasing a copy of your mother's birth cert. It will tell you her mother's full name

You don't have to KNOW anything to do research. You do the research to FIND OUT - that is what the word means.........


From the OED

'Research'
the systematic investigation into and study of materials and sources in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions:

We know even less than you........so why do you think we can find info?

Have you looked?

Stephanie, you will need either ( or both ) the birth certs for Theresa and Christine, one of them may have the middle intial for their mother, I see you have added a 'postem' to the birth ( on Freebmd) for a Winifred R Summerill asking if she is their mother. That is the most likely one given location and date.

thank you joonie,reggie, im no gud research because i dont no much bout my mother side all i know my nan put her children in to care when they were young .

In the three years since you posted about the Johnsons, have you done anything about trying to do your own research?

You were given advice about how to search - you really should try to follow it. It is not difficult

I'm sure that I've helped on this query before? both the dispute over 'Summerill', 'Summerhill' and the OPs name are very familiar?

Have you posted this here before babyface?

they do indeed :-S

and her mum married as Summerhill

her mum having been in care, she may have gone along through life with how people thought her name was spelled, not what it said on her birth certificate

The poster and her brothers birth registration list mothers maiden name as Summerhill

babyface2008, I think people will be more interested and more able to help if you 'speak English' (no 'dat's and 'wanna's) .... we are all grown-ups here ... and be careful about spelling ... spelling really does matter when it is people's names :-)

you said 'SummerHill' in your first post so people went off and spent time searching for that

Are you sure your mum - and her sister - want their personal backgrounds put on the internet?

... also your nan of course because she is very possibly living and this is her personal information too, about her as a mother ...

If you have your mum's birth certificate you must be sure of her mother's name ? and surely your mum must be able to say.

I see you posted at Ancestry wondering whether someone born in 1828 was the father of Winifred ... I wouldn't think so, would you? he would have been over 100 years old ......

It would help if you just say clearly what you would like to find.

your mother's other brothers and sisters if any?
your nan Winifred?
your nan Winifred's parents and ancestors?

if you still subscribe to Ancestry you can find Winifred's marriage in Birmingham there ... then you search for births with the surname of her husband and her surname as the mother, in Birmingham.


It looks like you may have asked about the Summerills at this site before but there is no record of it that I can find, do you delete threads?

here is one where you asked about Johnsons

http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/trying_to_find/johnson/thread/1234523

but you seem to just wander away ...

Do you save the information people give you and organise it so you can remember what you find and what people find for you ?

this isn't like text messages, a few words here and there, read them fast and forget them ... family history is fun but it is also work and you have got to organise organise organise ! :-D

here is one thing that might help you, I think this was Winifred's husband, he died in 1999

Name: Christoper Myles Connolly
Birth Date: 26 Sep 1932
Date of Registration: Dec 1999
Age at Death: 67
Registration District: Tower Hamlets
Inferred County: London
Register Number: B31
District and Subdistrict: 2461B
Entry number: 275

he was born in Liverpool

If you get that death certificate you could see whether maybe your nan signed it or maybe their son did.

no one comment on my thread on dat website ? im sure its summerill

You offered more info. here:

That being the case, there looks to be a brother called Michael born in 1971.

If you have the birth certificate it will list her mother's name. I assume you didn't have it because you're not sure of her name and you spelt her surname with an H.
