The Common Room / Re: Can you get pre reg certificates?

Thank you everyone.

So as I understand it, you can basically get a photocopy of a baptism or marriage entry if the church has that record still. Is that right?

The pilot IGI site is exactly what it says - a pilot.  Although it (supposedly) uses the same databases as the Family Search site, it is still under development, so you should really use it as an addon to the Family Search site.



I see. Thank   :)

Can you get marriage certificates for people who married pre registration period and can you get christening certificates if you know the dates and place?

Completed Census Requests / IGI searches yielding different results
« on: Friday 13 November 09 01:43 GMT (UK)  »
I have ended up with two slightly different site addresses for searching the IGI database and I find I'm getting different results on each. I can for example find Jane Ellerby's birth on the familysearch.org addressed site, but not on the pilot.familysearch one and I can find someone else on that one, but not on the first one. Has anyone else experienced this? Am I doing something wrong?

The email  address and phone number are on the webpage. I have found them very helpful.

Thank you again. I'll keep you updated on how I go there.

Have you tried the local studies unit at Belfast library? They may have an obit reference in their indexes

Contact details here: http://www.ni-libraries.net/libraries/belfast-central-library-ulster-and-irish-studies/

Thank you. Would I have to attend the library in person, or is there any way to do this from a distance?

The witnesses were John and Bessie Dolan. I seem to remember finding some Dolans in the Leeds area on censuses who were from Ireland...Possibility of Lily being born in Ireland is looking quite possible isn't it? Maybe she was staying with friends/relatives.

Hi,

There is a birth for the march qtr 1841 for  a Jane Ellerby at Knaresborough volume 23 page 296

Also on the IGI as  baptised 28th November 1841  father Robert mother Ann.

3 marriages for Robert Ellerby in the IGI one to Ann Metcalf in 1829 , two others are one to  Hannah  in 1832 and the other Ellarby  also to a Hannah in 1834.

These marriages would have been before civil registration so won't be on free bmd.

regards

Robyn

The Ann Metcalf one looks likely doesn't it? The marriage certificate confirms Robert as Jane's father.

Another quick note/answer; at the time of their marriage Tom and Lily were at the same address in Leeds. It looks like Beowns Square, Skinner Lane.
