Thank you and yes I am keeping up with you, have been sitting here since 6.30 am this morning on and off just trying to work it all out. I have noticed there are 2 births in the index are these 2 different people or could one be an amendment do you think.

Thanks June, have sent off for the marriage of Frederick and Helen and also one of the possible other children to see what her name is down as Broadhead/Blackwell

Certs wont be here till after the 17th. I just cant think of any other explanation as to why her name is so different,

Sorry Potty, I have applied for this and it comes back with mothers name as Julia Helen Green formerly Blackwell the father is Frederick Green, it is just very different to the Ellen Broadhead that is on my GF birth cert, this is half the problem. It is the Broadhead/Blackwell name - I can accept Ellen or Helen

These are the only two Frederick Greens b1900 coming up for Aston:
Births Dec 1900 (>99%)

Green Frederick Aston 6d 272
Green Frederick Thomas H Aston 6d 415

You could order the certs giving father's name as a checking point. If it isn't correct they will refund part of the cost.

Hi Mary

I have seen this and yes it would fit in with the births of the children, but how can I be 100% it is them, I am happy to pay for the cert but it still wont confirm anything : - (

Apart from the one cert I have of my GF, the other children's births are tricky as Green is so common and also very common in Aston too.

Thanks for your help though
