Dalek39, Have you looked at the National ARchives at Kew website? Also, this page has links on it for General Register Office. http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/records/birthmarriagedeathcertificates.htm

Thanks Glamis...for your help...much appreciated....Its nice to know someones there.

Tried the National Archives, but they only have births later than 1837 also...so will have to look elsewhere...but thanks all the same Glamis..appreciated..

What about the General Register Office for England and Wales- GRO?

Do you mean Hannah Maria Herbert ch 1828 All Saints Hereford who married John Hankins?

Or is there another Hannah Maria Hankins that I don't know about?

If it is Hannah Maria Herbert's record, and we have already seen it on the IGI, why don't you just view the film as an LDS Family History Centre which should allow you to see an image of the original and if it hold any more information than just the parents names shown in the index.

You really should start a separate thread for the Herberts or this thread will get even more confused.

The Hannah Maria in my family is the one born in 1828...to John Hankins...There is another one who is mixed in with my dates on Family Search and Ancestry, which made it very difficult to trace...Her DOB is 1845 if my memory serves, which is so confusing..but she went to South Australia and her fathers name was Charles... so there are quite a few Hannah Marias out there....that is why I would like to find her "roots" as in parents....so will get to a Family Search place when I find one close by...
I would like to open a new thread on her side..I know her father is Daniel Herbert     b 1801 and mother Elizabeth, but to do a search I need to know both parents as there are so many with the same names....
I think the Hankins thread can have a rest for now, I agree its soooo long.. and I have some tidying up to do...so thanks to everyone who helped me...very much appreciated...

Dalek39, I think because back then they did seem to like the same range of names and recycled them many times, that hasn't helped the confusion. I know it well! Anyway, the fact that the Hankins merged with the Herberts has added confusion and more so sifting out which Herbert to our Hankins. I think you've done well getting through as you have. As 12 Hankins children arrived in NZ, it touches on the enormity of tracing them and their offspring nevermind the Hankins who remained in Hereford and who went before them.They were prolific. There are still many ends to tie up but you've achieved an awful  lot. Thanks also to the help offered by others. It is wonderful to see the graves of my forebears and adds clarity to the fog of my NZ Mother's knowledge from childhood chat that somewhere back in the distant past her Grandfather; J H Hankins came from Hereford but she didn't know where.

Thanks Glamis....I realize how large this Hankins family was and  I'm satisfied with what I have there..tie up a few loose ends, and then let them rest in peace...I also thank all involved for their tremendous help in achieving this...
The Herbert side of my family is a different line, even though they married into the Hankins with John and Hannah'a marriage,  to stop with the Hankins would leave a gap in the family tree..., I will leave it for awhile..and get on with others...

Yes, huge families they both were and now are. Hereford to my NZ Mum aged 4,5,6,7 or something was a far off land some where beyond the 'rainbow' !!!  Geography at school was one thing, history lessons another but making it real was why she came here having married a British Army Officer.
