Find Ancestors

If the marriage cert does,nt come back with father william, shoe maker, there are other possiblities, but it does seem to fit.

Helen

I've just got to find which of these are my ancestors! There is soo much info and if Helen has the right ones - right back to mid 1700's!! Here's hoping for a breakthrough!

If not the family, they must be related. All the postings are within a locality and I wouldnt think Grindey/Grindy is an overly common name!
That said, its too common when you are trying to find your own rellies!!!

Thanks again everybody!

A possible family

Is anybody able to tell me if I can get a cert posted to oz? I have ordered certs but when I was UK based.

Thank you all for your efforts! Dont you just love a good puzzle!!!

Jonesey, again that family is obviously in the right sort of area but there is already a Mary aged 15! As my Mary is ca 1852 do you think it is possibly the same family?

You will need to get her marriage cert to be sure.

Helen

These four all have parents of Joseph and Mary - Keele

As I say NOT sure if correct family because of area

Wow, you guys are amazing! I dont know how you find them so quickly! My gut is that Helen is posting the right Mary but it still doesnt then find a birth registration. Was this compulsory around 1850?

Helen
That really does look like her as Butterton and Onecote run in a large section of my tree! I really think the only way forward may be to purchase the marriage cert.
I'm in Oz - can I get a cert sent here or does it have to go to a UK address?
