The Common Room / Re: Obtaining a naturalization from the National Archives
« on: Wednesday 15 June 11 18:33 BST (UK)  »
Quite a few of the pages probably won't tell you anything new!

Birthplace and date of birth are normally given, along with parents names and their nationalities.  Addresses in England with dates are given too and "references" as to character and length of time in England are also included.

I've looked at lots of naturalisations at Kew and generally they are no more than about 10-15 pages, so shouldn't cost too much!

Armed Forces / Re: Frederick Lewis Wilkins

His records appear to be on Ancestry.  On his attestation he gave his occupation as Seaman so perhaps he  was away at sea at the time of the 1901?

Europe / Re: French birth certificates
« on: Thursday 01 April 10 19:55 BST (UK)  »
For France the most important thing is to know WHERE the person was born.  Records are held locally so you have to know that.  If you do and not too common a name and you have an idea of date, then hopefully not too much of a problem!  You need to write to the local Mairie for the information.
