Annina Report 6 Feb 2010 00:05

I have 1891 census record for James Fretwell and wife Annie,living in Eckington Derbys,
James coming from Eastwood Notts born approx 1853,

On his wedding cert his father is John Fretwell.

Please can anyone find him anywhere else,or give an alternative for the name Eastwood.

I have a horrible feeling that I have been researching the wrong family before him.

Thanks ladies,I had seen that one,but doubt the right one,they are all flippin miners, that is one reason it is so hard to find the right one.

James's dad John was a miner.

That birth record looks promising,will order that.

The Basford alternative name will help me thanks.

Yes that is the family that I have been following,so I either have the wrong marriage cert,or the wrong family.

Thankyou all who have been kind enough to help.

After a nights sleep, I now think that I may have the right family, but the wrong marriage cert, which is a relief, dosn't take so much effort to change.

I have sent for the birth cert and will take it from there,.

Why the £$%$£ can't folk give their kids a middle name???
