Find Ancestors

Hi, i have come to a brick wall quite early in my search and was hoping someone might be able to help. My Great Grandad was Jeremiah John Hill born 1901c in Worcester, he married Sarah Price in Tredegar S.Wales. They do not mention fathers names on the marriage certificate and can't seem to find anything in the census' Any help is much appreciated Thank you

Check out the birth cert

Births Sep 1901
Hill Jeremiah John - Droitwich 6c 361

Hello Ashley, have you got the actual paper certificate itself or are you just going by what's on the on-line marriage index? Or if you have the certificate, are there just blanks where the father's names should be?

I dont have the certificate i am going off what my grandad told me and whats on the online marriage index. Thanks

could this be him?

Sorry but hardly a brick wall.

Buying the marriage cert is still needed to confirm the family found on 1911 and 1901 census

Sorry glitterbaby it was a brickwall for me, thanks to all the helpfull members.

Ashley, first port of call for certificates after 1837 is usually freebmd.

This is where you would have found Jeremiah's birth certificate which would have given you his parents names.

Unless you are prepared to buy some certs along the way, that brick wall will keep appearing.

Best place to order certificates is from GRO, they cost £9.25 (beware of other sites, they're often a rip-off)

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/

When you're ordering there's an option to tick a box if you have the GRO reference. and example of that is in the birth record that Mike posted above.

Sep is the quarter the birth was registered, 1901 obviously the year. 6c is the volume number and 361 is the page.

As Mike says, quite often you do need to buy certificates to get the info you need.

Genealogy, unfortunately, is not a cheap hobby.

GB was being helpful in telling you that, so there was no need to make a snide comment to her!


You will have to buy birth and marriage certificates in order to verify parents names ........... and to ensure that you are following the correct family.

Each certificate costs £9.25 from the following site. GRO = General Registry Office

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/


You have to register, but there is no cost for that.


First, get your information from www.freebmd.co.uk

Make a note of the name as shown on that registration, and of the set of 2 numbers at the end of the line ....... they are called the GRO Index Numbers


Fill in the order form exactly as shown on freebmd

When asked if you have the GRO Index Number, answer Yes


You cannot see information from any English or Welsh certificate anywhere else on line, except for some from the London area.

No-one else can see those details, either.


Seeing the names of your ancestor in a census is not true evidence that that person IS your ancestor ............. you will find that there could be several people with the same name!
