Annette.
When you checked for Margaret A Fawcett did you put 1885 Ulverston Lancashire. If so perhaps thats why you got no match.

Sometimes adding too much info isnt a good idea. As you see in 1901 Margaret is born 1883 and in Alverston Lancashire

Haven't got the certificate yet so don't know his age or anything else! tried to search births for him but there are millions of john woodburns! REALLY wish there were some bouquet or onslow names to search in my family! hahaha.
I wondered if his death was the reason for not being named on the certificate, but surely they would just put his name and deceased on it wouldn't they???

Tried the search, still no joy i found a blanchetta though! now thats what i call a name!!!

Margaret - thanks but i think alveston will just be a misspelling of ulverston, as I have never heard of alveston.

many thanks all

Ada was born 2nd April 1910 Ulverston Lancs. She is listed as Ada Woodburn, but when she married Bobby Fell in 1930 she calls her self ada woodburn fawcett!!

Aaahhh....I like that... it shows she talked with her Mum and must have been close....

Wish i had asked my Mum things! like....what was her Mothers maiden name!

She once told me it was something like Hovis...like the brown bread people....turned out to be Overs/Hovers and going futher back it was HOVARD!!!

I hate this hobby!
