Thanks so much for all you have found out for me about Maijer - I have had to have a few months off my research as my daughter has been ill, but am getting back into it now, and it is so wonderful to have logged on and discovered you have found all this out for me.

Family History Beginners Board / COMPLETEDHelp with a London (Luton) search
« on: Thursday 08 April 10 21:23 BST (UK) »
I am wanting to trace a marriage certificate (for Frederick John Cross & Rose Ethel Allen) but all I know is that they had a son whose birth was registereld at Luton in 1917 and then that their son was married at St Stephens Claphouse Park in 1941. I am in Cumbria so need to research online / by post. Would you recommend I start looking for the marriage cert via Luton regisrty office or the church, given that I am assuming that his parents were married in the same place? Or can anyone suggest anything else I should try? Thanks

Valda and Anna, thanks for finding the marriage entry for me, I am going to get the certificate ordered, and also the birth certificate for George Robert in Greenwich - at least if it is wrong I can rule it out then, but I can imagine Robert might look like Richard with some handwriting! Happy New Year to you, and all the roots chatters !

Hi Valda
I haven't yet been able to track down Alice's parents' marriage certificate. Her mother is German, and I am having trouble finding them before or after the 1871 census, so am starting to suspect that they were living outside England for some years. Just to complicate my search!!!

I have now got the birth certificate for Alice Albertina - thanks for that - as it is the right one ! With regard to the tip from Dawn about birth registration not being compulsory until 1875, I was not aware of that. How do I start tracing baptism records - if all I know is that George Richard Davis was living in Hackney in 1871 and census states birth place was Forest Hill ? Can anyone give me some tips and good web sites to use?

Thanks Nell, I will certainly check it out and let you know. Her brother (George Richard Davis) was aged 10 months on the same census, and his birth place listed as Forest Hill. I have ordered a cert for a birth at St George In The East for 1870 and it is the wrong one - I have found another birth listed at Bethnal Green - is that near Forest Hill? Sorry to be so clueless - but if anyone ever needs help with Newcastle or Cumbria, I'm the one to ask!

I am trying to trace the birth cert for a Alice A Davis, listed on 1871 census as age 4, born in Kent / New Cross. On census, living at 1 Albion Grove, Hackney. I have been searching for birth certs for 1866-1867 and have not found any stating Kent or New Cross. Can anyone advise what other areas / boroughs this might be listed as ? As I live in the frozen North, my knowledge of London is VERY limited! Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks for all your help, now the family is located on the 1871 census, I have a bit more to go on. It is strange how they all 'disappear' until George Richard reappears married on the 1901 census though - all I can think of is perhaps they went over to Germany, as Clara was born in Munich?!
