Arthur Elliott

Mark Report 4 Sep 2009 14:38

Hi,

I have just started to do a family tree for my Mother and have got stuck. My Mother is not sure of her Grandmother's maiden name, so how do I find this out.

Her Grandfather was Arthur Elliott born during 1868 in Brighton, her Grandmother was Caroline Laus (Laws) or De Laus and was born in Portsmouth during 1871.

I have found the marriage record from this site which I think is for Arthur Elliott, which says that it was registered in April, May and June 1888.

Arthur Elliotts parents were Edward and Sarah Elliott.

If I phone the Brighton & Hove Registery Office will they be able to track the right certificate down or will I have to buy lots until I find the right one.

Thanks for any help.

Regards

Mark (on behalf of his Mum Olive)

It takes about a week by post.

Registry offices can charge a lot more.

Free BMD is a good site to search, this site only redirects you to other sires.
