Find Ancestors

Thanks Nicola, Patience, Isaac and the last Jane Williams were all correct. No-one can seem to find Samuel anywhere I can't order his birth certificate because he was born JUST before certificates were introduced. Have ordered his marriage certificate in 1867, but what else can I don I nee some help I think. Thanks again, Fern.

Hi Fern, Have you found Samuel on the 1901 and 1881 census returns? Nicola

Yeah I have, from 1871 to 1901. He is a complete mystery. Found out from some kind people he died in 1905 in Cornwall. Fern.

HI Nicola, I am looking for any male/females by the surname of Gomer living in Plymouth in 1851. I don't have any concrete evidence on any christian names I'm afraid. I have managed to trace later entries for an Alfred and an Alice Gomer but this was a little later than 1851. It may be too much trouble - if so then don't worry. Thanks Lisa

Hi Nicola, Thankyou for your kind offer, is the warwickshire 1851 census indexed? If so I'd be gratefull of a look up as I only have limited information. Looking for George Troth and wife Anne, I am unsure of their ages or place of birth all i know is they were married in Harborne Staffs in 1823.(with consent of parents so think they were not 21yrs at time) They are believed to be in the Birmingham area about 1830's. Could also be in the Berkswell area. Many thanks for any help best wishes Becky

Hi Becky, I'm afraid i couldn't find a George and Anne Troth together anywhere on the census. There was one Anne but she was aged 15, a bit young to be the one you are looking for I think! Sorry, Nicola

Hi Nicola, Thankyou very much for trying, I really appreciate it. Best wishes Becky

hello again Nicola can you please look up Joseph Ruscoe b1842 in Moreton say / Market Drayton on 1851 census probably still living in Shropshire. Many many thanks Barbara

Hi Barbara, There is only one Ruscoe on the census, and the first name is William. If you think Joseph was in Shropshire in 1851, how about adding a request on the boards for a Shropshire look up?Some one might have the CD for it,with a bit of luck, if it's available. Good Luck, Nicola

Hi, i'm looking for a couple of families! wondered if you could possibly do a look up for me please..... william littleproud, should be around 51 with wife harriet, in the attleborough area of norfolk. also.. james cook c1821, plymouth, devon, i know he and his wife had a child in 1852 but wondered if they had any previous to that.
