Charlotte , the Records office' board would be better, but as you are here I will have a look for you :)) will go and see what I can find now >>>

just a query...do you know an area where they may have married?

there is this one in Durham

Marriages Jun 1877 (>99%)

Cooper Frances Auckland 10a 271
Todd Edward Auckland 10a 271

which would tie in perhaps with

Births Mar 1889 (>99%)


Todd Reuben Auckland 10a 181

Aw, c'mon you guys, give Charlotte the magic website!

http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl

For practice, put in the names Edward Todd and Frances (without the surname), for a marriage, with nothing else, and hit "search".

Once you see the right name, you click on the page number to see who else is on that page.

It's free and it's fun and once you start, you'll never stop. ;)

I will look at the original image for you , but most likely brothers and sisters yes.... just leave the thread here and when you want to look again click on 'My threads' under 'Tools' in menu on left of board

Yup, they're brothers and sisters -- you can search for their births at FreeBMD too.

People sometimes delete their posts in other people's threads if they're tired of them or something, so you would do best to copy down that info. Or make Rose and Karen promise not to delete!

Then be sure to put FreeBMD in your favourites / bookmarks.

lol yes Janey , good idea :))

Charlotte will look on the 1901 as you couldn't find them ...may be able to now the siblings are there

PS I never delete lol

Awwwwwwww thank you all so much!! my cheeks are hurtin now i smiling that much, so greatful 2 ya all xxx
