Member Since: August 2008 Posts: 5 Send Message	AGGETT, I am trying to find the mothers maiden name of Beatrice Florence AGGETT (B 1904 East Stonehouse, Plymouth Devon England). Beatrice's father was William Aggett, believed born in Devon also.

	Do you have the mother's first name? Have you searched for the parents' marriage at FreeBMD? http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl The one and only sure place to get the mother's surname is the child's birth certificate. In the 1911 census http://www.1911census.co.uk/search/tnaform.aspx looking for AGGETT living with BEATRICE AGGETT in East Stonehouse -- her mother is Elizabeth, and the oldest child in the household was born in 1898. FreeBMD will give you a marriage of an Elizabeth to a William Aggett in 1895 in Plymouth, but also one in 1888 in East Stonehouse. So again - the birth certificate is the only way to know who the mother was.

	Indeed, those would be the two marriages I was referring to ... thinking, as usual, that it is wise to teach how to fish, rather than to serve up fish on a platter ... Oh, and ditto for the 1911 census, I see now. When someone needs help finding something they can't find, more power to us who help find it. But when they are things so easily found by people once they know how to look?
