Sorry no info shown just a slash Clare x

Clare, Was there an occupation listed for Thomas? Rose

Hi to Portland Rose Yeah i do have access to the certificate. Yes that could be possible! That mother married a collins after Thomas died. Is it possible if u could find a death for Thomas as i have searched many times before but couldnt find it. I have searched on my nan's side for 18 months... and the information u gave me was the 1st proper breaktrhough i have had! Many thanks and am really grateful Clare

Clare, I got those from FreeBMD. Do you have access to the marriage cert? Seeing as Thomas was listed as deceased, I'm wondering if the story got a bit mixed up. Perhaps she was born Dormer and her mother married a Collins after Thomas died? Rose

Hi Is johnson the mother's maiden name as its showing in every siblings name? Where did u find those info was it on ancestry or freebmd or other sites? I am seeing my dad tomorrow so deffo going to ask him some questions as he always said she was born a collins but looking at your responses it dont look that way she was deffo dormer and always have up to marriage and she was even a dormer on her death cert as her maiden name. Just wondering if she was born a collins and then changed to dormer before she got married would it show as dormer or collins on death as its showing as dormer? Will reply later Clare

Wow u been working hard! Am gobsmacked! Will reply properly in about an hour Thanks for looking Clare

Marriage? Marriages Jun 1903 Dormer Thomas Edward Solihull 6d 1139 Johnson Rose Solihull 6d 1139 Thomas Edward was a cycle maker in 1901. Rose

What was Thomas' occupation? Rose

Name: Rose Dormer Year of Registration: 1911 Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar District: Aston County: Warwickshire Volume: 6d Page: 247 Name: Louisa Dormer Year of Registration: 1908 Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun District: Aston County: Warwickshire Volume: 6d Page: 208

Sure she wasn't born a Dormer? Births Dec 1913 Dormer Edith Johnson Aston 6d 854 There are siblings. Births Dec 1915 Dormer Lilian Johnson Birmingham 6d 514 Births Jun 1917 Dormer Margaret Johnson Birmingham 6d 526 Rose

That sounds good seeing edith was from possibly manchester. I know she has few siblings named Louise, Florence, Rose, Margaret, Lilian and of course Alfred But am afraid dont know the years of birth though Clare

Maybe? Name: Alfred Collins Year of Registration: 1909 Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar District: Salford County: Greater Manchester, Lancashire Volume: 8d Page: 28 Gerri x

Am not sure but i know he was at least 5 years younger than Edith Collins. He might be born a Collins then changed to Dormer later on Clare

If you gave the full date of birth as a reference checking point and they sent the wrong one then you should be able to get your money back. HOWEVER, if you filled in the date of birth with the other details (like name and surname) on the first page of the form, then you will not get a refund. When filling in the application form do not put anything more than neccessary on the form itself - just name, year, qtr. district, volume number and page number. If you want them to check a particular detail (like father's name or mother's maiden name or date of birth), put these in separately in the reference checking page. Kath. x

Hi there what are the names on the marriage certicicate and the witnesses - they may help with a lead to the family name for you. Where did they marry that may give you a lead on the area they lived. Good luck Irene

Have you tried contacting other people who have an Edith Collins born 1913 in their tree?

Hi I am sorry but the DOB is correct. she was 92 in september 2005 she died the following Janurary 2006 she would of been 93 in that year.. so it works out to 1913 deffo. Clare

Hi, You say the DOB is correct because of the wedding certificate. My mother in law was born 1/07/1925 and yet when she married on 9/08/1947 she put she was 21 on the marriage certificate, the same age as her husband, when on fact she was 22. Have you thought of looking in 1912? There is birth in Dec Qtr 1912 for Edith Collins born in Grimsby. Steph
