Agreed, will need to order and see what that brings up! Martin's Mum showed up as 'Nee Brand, Late Neame' on his birth certificate, which he had never known about,  so that certainly proves your point Carol! Is it possible to purchase the certificate to view online or does it have to be through the post?

Many thanks :)

Morning all :)

Thank you for checking these for me, it's a huge help!

That is definately the correct Rodney, with the birth and then the death in Reading. I have just asked MArtin again if he is certain her name is Edith Clifton and he says that is the name his Mum has given him. I then asked him if his Dad had a sister named June to which he replied "Yes! That's it!! not Pat"  (You see now why I'm finding this so hard to get going!!)  ;D

Hiya, Rodney did have a Sister... my partner thinks her name is/was Pat/patricia (Sorry, he's no good at this hence me doing it!) It's all a bit vague and I may well have to apply for his full birth certificate to get out of the starting blocks!

Ok, my partner's Father was Rodney Myers, born 4/9/32. His Mother was, we believe, Edith Clifton.  The only one we could find in London was Edith E Clifton, who Married Nathaniel MEYERS(?) in oct/nov/dec 1929, and that's where I'm stuck!!

Would the name spelling change like that only 2 generations ago?  I can't find a birth for him, nor do I know where to get the marriage certificate for their details....

Family History Beginners Board / MYERS - stuck before I've started!

Hi everyone, I have been tracing my family tree for the last couple of years and have easily traced it back to the 1700's using Scotland's People online. My partner has now asked me to do his for him - which is the family name Myers, coming from London and I cannot seem to get started! Are there no sites where you can pay per view and see BMD certificates online? It seems costly and time consuming to order certificates which may ultimately be the wrong ones!

Aberdeenshire / BOOTH family, Aberdeen Fire Service
« on: Wednesday 15 September 10 15:59 BST (UK)  »
Hi, I have been researching my family tree for the past few years and have met lots of people through GenesReunited. However, I never seem to find anyone who also has a link to the Booth family. I have some info on them but would love to hear more. They were all very well known within the Aberdeen Fire Service around the time it was established and from then onwards. I have many newspaper clippings and some photos which would be great to share!

Hi All! I have just stumbled across this site whilst googling Fittie as I try to piece together my family tree - I'm so glad to find so many of you who may be able to help!

My direct line is Walker, but also have the names Guyan, Masson, Baxter, Caie and a few other mixed in there, but all Harbour Pilots/whitefisher etc from Pilot Sq, North/South Sq etc.

I would love to hear from anyone who has info on these families and the Fittie area...I find it all v intriguing!!

:)
