	Is there any where to search the birth index using first names only? I have a sub to find my past, but I can't do that there. I have the Christian names, year, quarter and mothers maiden name, just no surname. MaryMc

	What year? You can use FreeBMD. Here's the coverage: http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/progressB.shtml Rose
	Researching: I am not related to you and I'm not your husband's first wife!

	Rose, Sorry, I should have said the year! 1963, so FreeBMD no good. MaryMc

	Wendy, She never married the Father of said child, so I'm still stuck. MaryMc

	I better explain! My husband and 4 of his siblings were registered under the Father's surname (he lived with them). Later they were re-registered. 4 of them were re-registered under the Mums first husbands surname, who she hadn't seen or lived with for years, although she was still legally married to him. 1 was re-registered, but I don't know the surname she was re-registered under. That's the one I'm trying to find about about. Or rather find what the 'new' name was. Which was why I was wondering if anyone could search under fist name etc only. MaryMc

	Gaelyn, Yes I do. I have all the details, just not the surname they were re-registered under. MaryMc

	So you're saying 1 was registered with a surname that wasn't the mother's first husband's surname, the mother's maiden name or the child's biological father's surname? Rose

	Rose, Sorry, I think I'm making it sound too complicated! All 7 of them were registered under the biological Fathers surname (Mr B). The middle 4 of them were later re-registered under the Mothers first husbands surname (Mr J) I knew what her first husbands surname was, so was easily able to find them re-registered under J. But 1, was later re-registered - but I don't know the surname. The index has been amended, but as I don't know the surname, I don't know where to look for the re-registration. So, I was wondering, as I have all the details for that one, if it was possible for anyone to look to see what surname they were re-registered under. MaryMc

	Did the child with the new name marry? Perhaps we could find the marriage in the new name, then work back. Gwyn

	Hi Soph, Yes, I know the exact dates (it's my husband's sister). Is there any way to search to see what name the child was re-registered under? MaryMc

	PS. Mum did remarry, but much later and it has no bearing on this. MaryMc
