So, is Henshaw her married name? Do you know her maiden name?

Derek Report 27 Apr 2010 22:10

James..I have loads of Notts and derbys records.......I suspect that the contribution from Ozi shows that Mary Henshaw is her married name..not her maiden name...........any idea of said maiden name???? By the way i live 400 yards from Church Street Basford Nottingham,,,,,,,,

What does that mean Ozi?

Trevor , using the reference that Ozi has given you can order a birth cert from

www.gro.gov.uk/

Trevor Report 27 Apr 2010 22:20

Thank you rose :)

Ozibird

Ozibird Report 27 Apr 2010 22:20

It means, if you bought Sarah's birth cert, then you would know for sure Mary's maiden name.

Ordering from GRO is going to take weeks at the moment as they have such a backlog.
