Missing Birth Records - BEGLEY St Helens

[Gibel]

The register office would have the actual books of the birth registrations not the index. They will not let you look at them but they might be prepared to say look for one of the missing children if you explain what you want. You will rpobably have the date of birth as well as the parents' names. However they may charge I don't know.

It was just an idea. I would ring them up and ask them.

Thanks Gibel, a good idea.  I think it is my only hope now.

Long shot. What about Peter Bagley born 1882,March quarter, Wigan?  See FreeBMD.

The thing is Imber I have spent £100s of pounds over the years on wrong certificates, and they were mostly when I was confident I had the right ones!  This Peter Bagley is too much of a long shot to risk another £9+ - name slightly wrong, year out, no connection with Wigan as far as I can tell.  I know they were living in St Helens when all these children were born (I have the other children's birth certificates; census records; baptisms), so I can't imagine why they would register a birth in Wigan.

Thanks so much for looking for me.  This Begley family is driving me mad!  And what is weird is that it is the only branch of my family where I haven't found another person researching them.  All my other branches I have made connections with distant cousins etc.

Thanks Ellis2159; I have just emailed them with details.  I did email them twice before about 1 - 2 years ago, but I never heard from them.  This time I made sure to offer them a donation!  Btw the website section on family history just gives an email address, there is no family history info.  Fingers crossed they reply!

i am also looking for information on my grandfather, Abraham Begley, who was born in St. Helens, but later moved to Liverpool with his parents and siblings. Im trying to find his marriage to Catherine Sweeney, originally from Castlebar, Co.Mayo. So far, I have had no luck in locating it, either in Liverpool or Birkenhead ( where they were living when my father John was born ) .
