Not all BMD indexes are transcribed off the GRO indeces yet. You could try contacting Leicester register office for a copy cert of his birth:

http://www.leicester.gov.uk/your-council--services/council-and-democracy/registration-service/copy-certs

Or search the index originals on-line. If you cannot do that let us know - in fact I'll start now.

Back soon

she married frank preston on 7 aug 1916
i have that marraige .

robertpplane

robertpplane Report 6 Jun 2008 11:36

A marriage:

Name: Ellen Moore
Year of Registration: 1916
Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep
Spouse's Surname: Preston
District: Leicester (1837-1974)
County: Leicestershire
Volume: 7a
Page: 310

Nothing is coming up for a Preston married to Ellen Moore for that year but you only need her name to buy the cert

See if Mrs Tibbs can help. She is a marvel at winkling out people.

Good luck

i don,t have a marraige cert for him but believe he may of married a dorothy frith.
i mighg have to see about asking one of his sister that is if she is still with us. last i heard she was very poorly.

There are no Sydney Prestons in the whole of England between 1911 and 1930, with mmn of Moore. He may not have been born in England of course. Have you tried Mrs Tibb's post on this board; she has access to findmypast - I think - and that has military and overseas births of UK citizens.

Do you have a marriage certificate? That might show two surnames - my grandmother's did and she was adopted.
