Find Ancestors

Hello All,

I am and have been trying for ages now to locate Henry Stones in the birth register.

I have been told he was born 25 June 1864 - Potterspury area.

His mother was Adeline Bland and Father Henry Stones.

I cannot for the life of me find him anywhere!!

Your help is appreciated !

Thanks

Not sure Eric as I have been told the father Henry born 1843 and his wife Adeline moved to the West Bromich area sometime in the late 1860's early 1870's.

Yes that could be the one Helen Thank You !

What is your source of info about the mother's maiden name?

Hello Eric,

Sorry I was on the school run.

Yes Adeline Maiden name was Bland, she then married Robert Knight (if I was told right) who died not long after.
She then went on to marry Henry Stones.

Thats why in the 1871 census for them there is a son called John Knight Stones - I gather he belonged to Robert who died.

Donna

So the marriage is correct then?

oh yes the marriage looks very correct !!

Thank you for your help with this!
