http://www.health.state.ny.us/vital_records/birth.htm


What types of records are available from the New York State Department of Health for genealogy research?
Vital records registration started in New York State outside of New York City in 1881. Generally, the New York State Department of Health provides uncertified copies of the following types of records for genealogy research purposes:

Birth certificates - if on file for at least 75 years and the person whose name is on the birth certificate is known to be deceased.
Death certificates - if on file for at least 50 years.
Marriage certificates - if on file for at least 50 years and the bride and groom are both known to be deceased

.

Thanks very much Lorraine your help really is greatly appreciated, I will get in touch with them and see what I can get.

dean

i cant find anything else for the family in canada

what year was your grandfather born in uk

lisa

cant find anything for a seth brayshaw appart from his death and uk census

i see it says on the 1901 that mary was born america and she is listed as g daughter

despite saying on the index that seth is her father it doesnt say that on the actual record so she may not be.

seth is listed a single in 1901, i cant find a birth for a seth brayshaw either was he born under a different name?

Dear Lorraine,
Searching for Kate Pickering (No middle name) born June qtr 1880 Ashby Z (Leicester).
Emigrated to Canada 11/06/1909 from Liverpool.
Apparently married someone over there, and nobody heard from her since.
Could you possibly find a marriage record for her?
Her father was William Pickering.
In 1901 census she was a lacemaker boarding in Notts.
Thankyou

hi lorraine.
thank you for looking for mary e brayshaw .her father seth brayshaw was born 1860 22nd oct.father jonathan mother mary smales.i have just found him on the 1891 census.he comes under the robert peters family of north bierley yorkshire,
&they are down as peters or BRAYCHAW.
living at 13 oxley terr,north bierley yorkshire.
mary elizabeth brayshaw is still down as born brooklyn america.
so it can only be from 1885 to 1891,that they came home.
lisa.

Looking for my G Uncles both sent to Canada by Dr Barnardos.
Parents John Powell and Charlotte Gorely. Spouse William Joseph Powell.

John Edward Powell dob 3/4/1888, Islington, London.
Sailed to Canada 11 Sept 1899 on HMS Orawa. Arrived Quebec 21st September 1899.

Robert Ernest Powell dob 23/7/1890, Islington, London.
Sailed to Canada 31st March 1900 on SS Camborman. Arrived Portland 11 April 1900.

We know they went on to marry and have children of their own, and one of them then emigrated to Chicago USA, but sadly the families have completely lost touch.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

now I am looking for the marriage of Mary ann ( who later morphed into annie/anna) to David Hughes
