London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Re: Birth Records "look up" London area, Lambeth, Mile End Old Town? Help? :)

Thanks Dawn and Kgarrad,

I already ordered few records just now from GRO... sadly I may not know if I got the right things til after I see them and of course, been billed for them :( 

I "thought" having people "look up" things was something different then what it seems to be.  We can go to our Archives in person, look at documents and just pay for cost of a copy if it's what we want.  I see it's not the same other places in the world.

cheers

Dawn,

Yes, thank you very much.  All information helps.  I should just go straight to finding GRO offices and roll the dice, send off the funds. 

I certainly now have to research and try to undestand what the "Called the Banns" stuff mean. Always something to learn.

cheers
Brian

Dawn,

I'm confused.  just because one doesn't find a marriage license wouldn't mean that they didnt have birth certificates for their children... I have my great grandmother's birth certificate in London already.  "maude" is same Catherine Maude Clarke, she was 8 month at time of census NOT 8 years old.  I have ALL census records and such I need from then on.

I just need the birth records and as someone else said in earlier one line reply, I need to purchase such documents as the GRO or volunteer can't go to view record before one purchases the record.

Maybe Fred and Annie went some other place to marry, or had ceremony another place besides St Dunstan's or maybe they didn't "marry" at all, it's just a piece of paper otherwise to me.

THANK YOU truly for checking for me and for your help and input.

cheers,
brian

Dawn,

I just have a Bann's entrance for Fred Clark(e) and Amelia Ann (Annie) Sherwood,  I don't have marriage document in hand.  If thats what you were asking.  My other post in Sculcoates were referring to Amelia Ann (Annie) Sherwood's parents as she gave her place of birth as Hull, Yorkshire.

I got this online, but don't have Fred and Annie's actual marriage certificate, IF there is even one to have?  hmm.   Thanks again everyone, I still have lots to learn.  :)  cheers, b.

Name:
Frederick Clark
Age:23
Spouse Name:
Amelia Ann Sherwood
Age:22
Banns
16 Jul 1865
Parish:Stepney St Dunstan and All Saints

THANK YOU ALL DEEEPLY for you HELP...

You are all correct and that is the 1871 Census then the moved to America.  And Thanks for the bit about asking if their Parents show as Fred* Clark(e) and Amelia Ann "Annie" Sherwood first before ordering their records, it adds up when wrong documents are ordered and mailed this far...

I appreciate your help, I have not been sure for longest time if these are certainly my great aunts and as I said knowing for certain (by confirming the parents) and getting exact date of birth is most important, obviously.

cheers,
brian

I am from the States and could use some help if possible before ordering the wrong records. 

I am not sure but I believe this Catherine Maud Clarke (b.in Lambeth Jul 1870) is my great Aunt, I am trying to find her record as well as her sister my other great Aunt,  Alice Matilda Clarke (b. in Mile End Town 1868).

this is what I know thus far.

Catherine Maud Clarke

Date of Registration:
Jul-Aug-Sep 1870
Lambeth
Volume:1d
Page:461

Alice Matilda Clarke

Date of Registration:
Jan-Feb-Mar 1868
Mile End Old Town
Volume:1c
Page:628

I finally realize that LONDON has Many districts, sub districts, sub sub GRO, etc.  I did manage  years ago to get my great grandmother's birth record, she was born in "Mile End Old Town Eastern" in "County of Middlesex"    I am assuming her sister Alice record is same office since she was born a few years later and sister Catherine Maud was in "Lambeth" an area near by?

Anyone able to see these records to make sure they are my family?  I don't necessarily need an "official copy" but would love to know exact date of births and WHERE would they have possibly been baptised, and confirm parents? Also, Annie Beatrice Clarke was their eldest sister.

Thanks in advance for any help, I truly appreciate the kindness of fellow researchers around!

Cheers,
Brian

Thank you very much CaroleW.  Wow, I so appreciate the help and kindness!

Now my Sarah Wray/Ray theory and connection to that family has just been blown apart! :)

I have that Richard Sherwood was born 24 Jul 1817 inBilton With Harrogate, Yorkshire, England

with father being William but have clue who his mother was or where this record would be, do they have records this early online to view or at GRO offices or do I need to look at the church records this early?
