Looking at the 1911....looks like James is lodging in Warrington Lancs with the Palmer family and Sarah is in a Lunatic Asylum, though obviously not sure this is the correct people as we are working on very basic information....

You guys are amazing!
I'm only starting out at this so I wasn't sure where to go when I couldn't find what I needed

Thats definatly the right Sarah As I know she died in The Burntwood Asylum in Lichfield.

I wasn't sure on the parents name as I couldn't find them on the documents I was looking at (obviously looking in the wrong places...)

I'm going to check the others against the info I've got but this all seems great!

Thanks so much
Margaret

Margaret

next time it might be a good idea to hang about a bit, as you see your request was replied to within a couple of minutes & the 1st 2 was asking you questions

Margaret

Margaret Report 17 Mar 2010 17:38

Yeah I didn't think people would get back to me so quickly!
Where did you find the records because when I click on the records link on here they don't come up!
If I wanted to find their parents how would I go about that?

Margaret

Margaret Report 17 Mar 2010 17:41

To ansewr the question of location They are all based in or around Tipton/Great Bridge?west Bromwich in the west midlands ( although most of you figured that out!)

I see that Charles Wood's Mother was Mary-Ann. What record would be best to show me her maiden name as I have no idea of it?

Julie

Julie Report 17 Mar 2010 17:42

No i would never use the ones on here...To find the census info I use Ancestry which you have to pay for

For Births, marriages & deaths i use this one but they are only up to the 1930's http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl
_______________

To find her maiden name you'll need Charles Birth cert or you can go back another 10 on the census
