Can I go and look up a birth register and find more info and if so where?

The birth registration shown above is for Thomas F FRANCIS so the certificate should say the same.

PIKE should be the mothers maiden name but if the question was asked wrongly it could have got mixed up and be Kershaw, so could be looking for a Francis/Pike or Francis/Kershaw marriage.

Not finding either at the moment. Have had a look on the Scotland's People website just incase, but can see nothing there.

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if anyone could possible help me please, as I am not sure where to look next and any help would be very much appreciated.

I have a Thomas Francis Francis Born in Portsmouth on 3rd May 1914 and died 2001 in Portsmouth I know he married twice to Winifred Diamond and then a Winifred Crook. ( I know this is correct) (all deceased)

I wanted to trace his parents so I sent of for his birth certificate, which I have now received by port stating -

Mother Edith Kershaw formerly known as Pike and farther Thomas Francis Rigger HM Dockyard. They lived at 27 Chalton Street Landport. From here my trail runs out any ideas please as I do not know anymore about Edith and Thomas senior.

Thank you for reading this,

Vicky. :-S
