Find Ancestors

Hi Darren

If you're new then heres some advice. Keep all the info on one family line, on one thread.

This way, people who are helping dont duplicate info and get sick and tired and you dont get sick and tired of recieving the same info!

Best of luck

Nope....

Thats the very reason GR do not allow multiple threads per subject.

If the data is not here then i am not going to go looking for it! You have already had other people looking at this for you?

Did you not see my last thread? All the Bower info was there :)

The 1801 census?

What is the earliest census you have the family on please.Did Jonas have any siblings? ...and who were they?

difficult to get info on Irish ancestors.
Census were pulped for paper in first world war and there was a fire in records office in 1920s.
Try Irish census sites and they can give tips.

Hi Darren

Where have you got to with James Bowers? What is the last census you have on him (or indeed the first!)


Tracey x

Hi

Any of these could be him, I have now sent off for my grandads marriage cert so I will know more in a few days.

I know all about my fathers siblings and info about their children etc. It is backwards of Norman Miller and Annie Bentham that I am trying to research.

Also, backwards of James Bower (from my mums side).
James born around 1819 Bingley, Stone Mason Harden Brow, Bingley.

Thank you so much for your help whoever you are.

Kindest regards

Darren

Hi Darren

Can i say firstly you are doing very well for a first time here, those helping you are very experienced and will guide you as willingly as you are to be guided.

Please do as you are doing and stay with your thread, as more data comes out the information will start coming thick and fast and we'll need you to bounce things off !!

Can i clarify, you know all about your father's siblings and the names of his parents, but it's backwards from there you are struggling with?

Do you have any name of siblings to your Gfather Norman Miller, where was Norman born?

When your father also Norman Miller married what was his father's occupation?


Tracey x

Thankyou. Yes this is the first time I have used the message boards.

The info I posted is all you need to order the cert from the GRO - you have to buy it to see the details

www.gro.gov.uk

Have you only just started using the message boards?

Our family only ever seem to meet and communicate at funerals!

I have searched and found Normans/Annies marriage register but please forgive me, how do I now access the cert to find out about Normans father etc?

I am still very new to the site and struggle with some portals. :(

D

Can't you ask one of the Aunts when her father died?

It might -perhaps - save you the expense of purchasing the marriage cert.

I know all about my uncles. John, David, Alan,Terry, Colin, Eric who are all now passed. I have Aunts: Anne, Susan, Ruth who are alive.

Its my older Millers that I wish to trace but many thanks.

It would appear that your father had at least three brothers - have you any knowledge of them?

Many thanks :)

Great, many thanks for this.

I have no details about my Grandads demise. My Father Norman died April 15th 1976 ( a week before my 11th birthday) in a car crash in Larkhall Scotland.

We have a very tragic family background. 4 of my siblings died under 12 year old.

Albert Bower also died in a car crash in Perth Australia. I found his details on line and the cemetery where he rests.
