I am unable to find my gt grandmother's birth on any trees,
all I have is her daughter Sarah's certificate.
My gt grandmother was called MARIA FICK born 1865 in St.Georges,Shropshire. she married a HENRY RAMSBOTTOM from Blackburn. I want to know who MARIA'S parents were ?
Anyone know where else I can search for her please ?

When did Maria and Henry get married?

Think you'll find the surname is Leek

Marriages Jun 1888
LEEK Maria Blackburn 8e 565
Ramsbottom Henry Blackburn 8e 565

Rose

That's why I was asking about the marriage Rose. That's the marriage I found and wondered if the surname had been mis-read.

Rose

you had the same idea as me Rose, I've just found that too. No births for a Maria Fick or census returns,

If you get the marriage cert it will tell you her fathers name and occupation which will make it easier to find them on the census

Maria's listed as Mother in law here. That can't be right:

Rose

Yes.........no people called Fick at all anywhere I can find.

I think it's Leek too.

The 1881 census has two Mary A. Leakes who are away from home and servants.


Sue

Kath , I've no idea when or where they were married.

On my grandmother Sarah's certificate says " Maria Ramsbottom " formely " Fick "

Has it been typed out? This is her birth cert you're talking about? What was her father's profession?

Rose

To Rose ,
How can she be mother in law ? i do have the files of both 1901 and 1891.
My partner and I believe it is a misprint by the registry .

In my wildest dream I was not expecting any answers from you lovely people :-)

to Rose , cabinet maker , so is says on the cert

June,

Do I have the correct family in 1891 and 1901?

Rose

OK, that's what Henry is in 1891, so I have the correct family.

Rose

There have been a lots of skeletons in the closet by both my parents , I am at lost !!

Yes, you have Rose , James & joseph were born in B/burn...Harry & Sarah in the Isle of Man

Henry was born in Brinscall ,Lancs 1864

I think ?
