  wow what can I say, except I had totally forgotten I had placed a post, surely it wasn't 2005!

I didn't get too far with George Green except from somewhere I have a birth date for him of 15 June 1823 (could be a baptism date) and a marriage date of Sept qtr 1840.  I did say way back then that I was sending for the marriage certificate but for some reason that never happened, it has now spurred me on to get it. I have even found them on the 1851 census now thanks to you - I already have the others.

My Great Grandmother was Roseanna Green, she was born 1859 Brearley Street and according to census sheets I have she had siblings George 1844 Sarah Ann 1847 Frederick 1850 (assume he is yours?) and Frank 1863.  That means George snr was my Great Great Grandfather, which also means that we are 2nd cousins 1 x removed! according to my ever ready calculator.

Would love to discuss more, perhaps by private email which I am happy to do.

Can't wait to hear from you, regards

An ancestor apparently died from his injuries after falling into a furnace of hot water!

My questions are, as it would seem it was reported in a newspaper, how do we go about finding out which one?  Can it be researched on-line or do we have to go to West Bromwich, where he died, to find out.

The details I have are:

Arthur Lambsden died 8 November 1891 in West Bromwich hospital aged 33.

Can anyone point me in the right direction.

Many thanks

A few years ago I  went to the Wiltshire records office for search for the Heath/Dunford families.

I thought I had completed the task successfully and had all the names and dates I could possibly find. However there is one name I did not connect that a few other people have on there trees.

There is no possiblitiy of my going back there in the near future and wondering if there is some that could check for me.  At this stage I do not believe this name belongs to me but of course I could be totally wrong.  These are the details I have:

Parents Christopher Heath 1660 & Margaret Smith 1657

Children I have:
John 1684
Margaret 1686
Christopher 1687
Dinah 1693
John 1694
James 1696
Margaret 1698
Richard 1702 (my connection)

I believe the children were born Great Cheverell

Now the other people have Eleanor 1690 slotted in or simply on her own.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I don't want to pass on my information yet in case I send them in the wrong direction.

Many thanks

Stanmapstone give me an answer to my earlier query regarding numbers on birth certificates that didn't appear to relate to anything and that it was a correction number.  I have another one and am wondering if it is the same answer.

This is for a birth certificate from 1912.  The full name of the father is given.  This name again is crossed out and the no. 8 has been added.   My contact for this certificate has been told that the no. 8 means the name is correct but the father was not present at registration.

Is this the right answer or simply just another error.

Hope this makes sense.

I have a birth certificate on which the name of the father "John" has been crossed out and a number has been written alongside - "14".  The certificate is for 1856.

Someone has suggested that the number has some significance.  If this is true, can anyone tell me what that may be?

Many thanks
