Find Ancestors

Hi David that was why I made the connection but I don't think it's correct theres a big age difference between birth.

I'm hoping that someone more experienced will come and have a look.

Mind you... Tailors Apprentice....Edward Kitching did go on to be a manager in a cotton importing firm...

Yes, I ended up l;ooking at someone in Kendal, but I couldn't remember how I got there and can't see the link anymore. trouble is, with just a name...
There needs to be something that links an Edward Kitching born in the 1870's with an Edward Richard Kitching born in 1904. I just don't know how to do that and I've spent the whole afternoon trying.

sorry my brains fried - how did I make a connection there - birth years way out

can someone please take a look at this as i'm really struggling where to go next.

Hi again David
How old was Edward at time of marriage and what area did the marriage take place

gossip girl

Hi again.
Got the marriage certificate for my Grandfather, Edward Richard Kitching. But I can find no trace [anywhere] of his birth certificate. The Marriage cert states that his father was also called Edward Kitching and that he was a Manager in a cotton importters, but that at the time of Grandfathers marriage, he was dead. So there's apparently no way that I can go further back is there? There are dozens of Edward Kitchings and I have no idea how old he was when he died, where he died, who he married or anything else. The 'other' search engine on deaths doesn't work..just keeps searching on 'person' instead of name. Can anyone help?

If the child was baptized, then it is possible that the parish baptismal register might contain some details of the father, even post 1837.

David have sent you a PM re: Ancestry

Well many thanks for your help. I'll come back if the marriage certificate is less than revealing...

David most people have illegitimate people on their tree it just means that you can only follow the maternal line. I've only been doing my family tree for just over a week so i'm sure that their are people on here with greater knowledge than me.

I've got another one for you. How do you trace a history of someone you know was born outside of marriage and whose fathers name doesn't appear on the birth certificate [or marriage], just her mothers?

David, you can order this cert online at the GRO website. they cost £7.00.

I hope you guys aren't spending valuable credits on my behalf....

Ah..of course. Registered under mums name. Didn't think of that [new to this].

Wow, how did you you do that? Without knowing the year?

I'll order a copy right away. Thanks.
