Hi every one ,feel abit foolish but here goes,i am trying to find information about Isabella Yewdell born 1899 in Newcastle she married William Latimer in 1929 again in Newcastle and i have been trying to find children of this marriage.Is there a way of finding this information on-line (not knowing christian names)

Hi,
FreeBMD has one Latimer birth with Yewdell mother (male JunQ 1931); a fairly recent addition to the site. I've not posted details as the person could still be living.
For later births you would need to search the full index, quarter by quarter, on subscription sites such as Ancestry.

Ancestry has in theory indexed all births but there is only the one that Nanny has found coming up. I was going to PM you, but if it is on FreeBMD you can check it out yourself easily.

A very big thank you, to you both.
Yes you are right about it being recently added as i only looked for this last week.
Once again a big thank you

Ancestry has in theory indexed all births...........
All births on their database, I suspect. I also suspect that their database is still far from complete, so manual searching is still recommended :)

Ancestry has scanned in the pages and used a computer recognised system to 'read' the pages so there are possibilities of problems
i.e. if the computer reads an O as an A
so i would try for variants also
