Lancashire / Re: Doriscourt Nursing Home Whalley Range
« on: Wednesday 24 June 20 12:09 BST (UK) »I looked on FreeBMD, which as the name implies is free to search - www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl Just click on births, put in the name Whalley, mother's surname Ridgeway and under District click on Manchester (from 1939), leave Counties as All Counties.
There is a Robert Whalley, mother's surname Ridgway registered Apr-Jun quarter 1961, reference Manchester, vol 10e page 127. If you want to buy the certificate you need to go to
www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/default.asp and follow the instructions. If you are not registered with GRO you will need to register, free to register, certificate will cost you £9.25.
Of course, you don't need all that information to find a birth, marriage or death, just put in what you know, which is usually just a name and dates. If that is not the right child, just do a search with every combination of names you've given me.
LizzieW how do i find some info using freembd.? I cant seem to work this site very well. Not sure if its because im using my phone and not a laptop xx
