Title: Help it's been years!
Post by: kebholes on Thursday 02 March 17 15:48 GMT (UK)

Hi all, it's been years since I done any research. I am looking for starting points on free searches such as freebmd. In particular I'm trying to find a maridge between a mr Campball and a ms Kinsella around the York/hull area circa 1960. Free bmd has come up blank but I recall it not being complete. Any help and direction greatly appreciated. I will have to rejoin ancestry.com if not but I'm not ready to go to far just yet. Thanks Mick

Hi

We have to be careful as we are looking at records of possibly living people.  You may have a birth record confirming these names but are you sure the female had not been married before :-\

Hello,

Free BMD has a marriage in 1956 for those surnames but a different area.
There is also a birth in the right area in 1962 you could check.
You need to check the spelling too - you have written Campball rather than the usual form.

Regards
Heywood

Hi,

Will pm, as Rosie has already said these people could still be alive.

There is a special page on freebmd explaining "coverage areas".....
