Title: Birth/Death Lookup - Potter twins
Post by: julieymall on Saturday 22 November 08 20:19 GMT (UK)
Hi can anyone help me with looking up birth/death dates and names for my 'uncles'.  All I know is that they were twin boys born around 1936-39 in Nottingham to Grace & William Potter.  They both died around 3 weeks of age.  Any help anyone can give me by looking up their births/deaths in Nottingham archives would be gratefully appreciated as I don't have anything.  Online records for the date period do not seem to be available

Thanks

Julie

Julie  -  it'll mean slogging through the registers, I'm afraid :(

Do you know anything like - Grace's maiden name ?

Hi, I guessed it would mean trawling through the registers at the Nottingham archive (but I live in Gloucestershire and work full time so it isn't the easiest thing to do).  I know that Grace's maiden name was Warren and that she was born 22.12.1908 in Nottingham. 

Regards

Julie  -  Hi

At the moment I can't see any Potter / Warren birth regs. in Nottinghamshire in that time period.  the only one I've found so far is a Gordon R registered Q4. 1935 in Derbyshire.

My eyes have gone funny - I'll have another go in the morning   ;D
