Hi Vicky,
Re McCarthy, None of the McCarthys you sent me are the correct ones, but I have the 1881 cencus of James & his family living in Horselydown Surrey living at 5 St Johns Place. But I can`t find James born in 1845 in any of the cencus`s up until 1881. Did I mention sometimes McCarthy was spelt with a space between the `c`s Mc Carthy. Sorry to be a nuisance. Angie

Hi John, I except the test!

I can't find Margaret's birth,was her name misspelt? I can't find any children until these in 1922:

Births Mar 1922 (99%)
Cummins Hilda M Belcher Chipping N. 3a 1962
Births Jun 1924 (35%)
Cummins Charles F A Belcher Chipping N. 3a 1793

Any ideas of spelling differences, let me know,

Vicky

Well done Vicky , you have passed with flying colours lol. Margaret was my nan but I don't know of any mis-spellings but I will see if I can find her birth cert in my parents house, I asked an old relative about brothers and sisters and he said Hilda and then chas who must be charles, thanks very much for that. I will be back !!

Cheers
John

Thanks very much Vicky for your help, it was really appreciated.

Hi Everyone,

I'm away until Sunday, but if you want to leave a message, I will try to help when I get back on Sunday.

Thanks,

Vicky

Hi Stephen,

How old was Marjorie on the certificate? I could have a look for her birth which would have her mother's maiden name on, then I could look for a marriage between a Hanson and that name.

The problen could be that if any of the births/marriages took place in Scotland, they will be on a different database of which I don't have access.

Let me know and I will have a look for you.

Thanks,

Vicky

Her father was Denis.
