If you don't already have the record I can send it by pm.

Hello Robert - was she actually married to your great grandfather? If so, when/where did they marry? Who was your great grand father?

When you found her on the 1911 was she still single (could have been a very young bride) - where was she? Where was she born?

If you give us as much as you can on her then we'll have a better chance of helping you.

The person who is of most interest to me at the moment is my great grandmother Catherine Halliday( maiden name was Flannigan, or a variation of this surname). I can find her on the 1911 census, but can't seem to find her anywhere else. She was born in april 1895.

Reggie has provided the link to the LancsOPC. I use that site for my Lancashire research. The 1 Lancashire hit above was for the baptism of Hannah Smith, parents Thomas and Margaret. LancsOPC has 5 hits for the name Hannah Smith, including that one. And it has 228 hits for Smith.

The same search on Ancestry:-
Lancashire – 947 hits which included some deaths where the birth year 1800 was included in the record.
Yorkshire – 422 hits, again with a few deaths.

I'm mainly hoping to find and search parish records in and around the Yorkshire/Lancashire areas.
Let's hope something turns up, eh?? :-D :-S

Hardly any PR's have been transcribed.........anywhere.

Caveat emptor

Out of interest I have searched Births & Baptisms record sets for SMITH 1800. The search returned 1,035 hits. The listing was quite long – herewith the first few:-

Anglesey Baptisms 2 matches
British Nationals Armed Forces Births 1761-2005 110 matches
Caernarvonshire Baptisms 3 matches
Calderdale Baptisms 8 matches
Cambridgeshire Baptisms 46 matches
Canterbury Baptisms 77 matches
Carmarthen Baptisms 2 matches
Cheshire Non-Conformist & Roman Catholic Registers (Baptism) 17th Century-1910 4 matches
Cleveland Baptisms 7 matches
Cornwall Baptisms 22 matches

It probably comes under the 'Births, marriages and deaths' section?

Robert,

There are some Parish Records available to you, but probably not as many as you may have thought.

GR's own statement:-
"Our collection includes both England & Wales birth, marriage and death index for 1837-2006 as well as an extensive collection of Parish records dating back as far as the 16th century."

On another thread today I read the phrase "economical with the truth". I feel that it applies here too.

I've got platinum membership (I know, woo hoo, right??), and paid extra for Parish Records, yet where are the parish records??
Am I missing something, like vision/sight??
Please help!! :-D
