Hi,
Welcome to Rootschat :)
Do you have the names of Amy's parents?
Can't see a birth registered 1901-1903 for an Amy Green in Oxfordshire :-\

Hi ...
I checked FreeBMD for any Amy GREENs registered in Northamptonshire (being fairly local I know how the county boundary moves around in that area!) - nothing!
Then checked for Amy GREENs countrywide - still nothing in that timeframe.
Then checked for all GREENs (any forename) registered in Oxfordshire 1901-1903, and found this one:
Mar 1902
GREEN Female
Banbury
3a 1023
If you're reasonably certain of birth year/place, it could be worth ordering this certificate (although unless you have a good idea of parents names it may not help!). (Please recheck reference on FreeBMD website before ordering - I'm not infallible!)
Interestingly, there are no GREEN families residing in Banbury on the 1901 census, although plenty in the surrounding villages.
Hope this may help.

A couple more leads:
Someone on GR has your Amy listed (presume it's not you!), born Banbury 1902 (plus what looks like a sister - Elizabeth, born Banbury 1909).
Also plenty of people researching GREENs in Banbury and the surrounding areas listed on the Oxfordshire Surname Interest List.

Hi
Welcome to rootschat. Have you looked at www.freebmd.org.uk ? That is a first port of call for all of us. It is not full coverage but it does have a possible birth for Amy May Green registered in Reading in Jun 1901. Not that far from Banbury. You could write to the local register office in Reading and ask if that is the daughter of a William. They will send back your £7 if it is not. Who are the witnesses at the marriage? They may be relatives. How do you know she was born in Banbury? Finding the birth is going to be important as Green is such a common name.

Amy Green and John thomas Pearson Married in the district of banbury have you any idea where in the district? it would save a lot of time as there are quite a few villages that make up the district..jpgr

As you now seem to know that Amy's father was a William GREEN, farm labourer, it would definitely be worth purchasing that 1902 certificate for an unnamed female GREEN (mentioned in my previous posting)!
No sign of a birth registration for a Norah GREEN in Oxfordshire (any date).
Possible marriage of Amy's parents on FreeBMD:
Jun 1896
William GREEN
Banbury
3a 1690
(possible spouses are Elizabeth TIMMS and Margaret WOODFIELD)

If you already have Amy and John's marriage certificate, then I doubt that the parish register entry will show any additional information.
If ordering the birth certificate for the unnamed female in 1902, you can use the father's name as a reference checking device. If it turns out that the baby girl had a different father, then it will only cost you £3.00 (instead of £7.00 for a - possibly - incorrect certificate).
Presuming that the certificate is the correct one, it would also give mother's maiden name and from there we could have a look for a marriage for them!

If you order certificates from the local office rather than the GRO they do not usually charge for checking details and will return all your money if it is the wrong one. Still costs £7. Cheques to "Superintendant Registrar" or whatever it says on their website. All saves a few pennies....

Hi All -
Beatles can I suggest that you put anything relevent that you find on here rather than a private E-mail (unless it involves living people) otherwise we won't know what has been checked and found to have ideas where to look next.

>:( St Johns R.C. Church is the only church that keeps their record in the church.
I will ask the family history fella where i could ask about the marriage of Amy's parents and Amy's birth.
I looked through 9 PR St. Mary's methodist Presbyterian etc. the only William Green I could see was in 1896 a witness at a Margret Ellen maria Green's marriage.her father was also a William green.i guess the William witness was her brother.
1909 Elizabeth not a William listed as father,mislaid parents but when i find them will let you know if you wish.
sorry i couldn't be of any help.if i find any thing i will post you.
