plesae could you answer the question on your other post.

In case you do not know how to find - it click on 'my threads' in the yellow box on the left

The birth certificate for James b1907 will tell you Seranne's maiden name.

I have already looked at James b1907 birth certificate and marriage certificate however there is no information other than his birth date and place on his birth cert and on his marrige cert it just says his fathers name and occupation. thanks anyway

Are you sure you have a full birth certificate? It sounds to me like you have the short version. The full name of both parents will be listed on a full cert.

Where did you get the info on Seranne from?
Could her name have actually been Sarah Ann

I got the birth cert from James's daughter so how will i get a full version of it?

her name is definantly Seranne. i got the information from seranne's grand daughter

saw that one Ericthered put off by the granddaughter saying it was Seranne............

She must have been a lot younger than James (1860) don't you think to have had children as late as 1918?

I would be wary about being 100% certain that the name by which the granddaughter knew this woman was accurate...........

The name Seranne does not appear on Ancestry on any transcribed records before 1984....and they are all births
