Hiya all. I was wondering if anyone could look up some births for me. My FIL is the youngest of 15 children and is about the only 1 alive and it would be great if I could get some help finding all names and possible yrs of birth of all his siblings for him. As far as I know they are all from Rotherham. I do have some which are:
Robert Harrison c1922
Muriel Harrison c1926
Reginald Harrison c1927
Frederick Harrison c1927
Rose Harrison c1932
Annis Harrison c1938
Gwen Harrison c1940
Frank Harrison c1942
and obviously my FIL
If anyone is willing to look them up for me it would be great. Mothers name was Kate Webb and Father was Frederick Harrison. My FIL does not remember dates that his siblings were born.
Thanks in advance Lynette

Thank you Jan. From what I can gather the eldest was born around 1922 so would have been out of wed lock so I do not know how the birth records work for those. Lynette

This might be him: (again on FreeBMD)
Robert C Webb Mar 1921 (mother Webb) Leeds 9b 563

Hi,
I found the registrations on http://freebmd.rootsweb.com.
I used West Riding of Yorkshire as the search area and looked for Harrison births, with mother Webb, and found Muriel and Gwendoline.
Hope that helps,
Nanny Jan

Cheers Jan. Will see if I can find some more. There is another Gwen born around 1940. She is 1 of the only chldren to survive childhood. Most of my FIL's siblings went down the pits. Lynette
