Thank you, have just written all the information down, and will apply for the certificates, you have been a great help and it is very much appreciated.

Got the birth cert for Samuel, it only has his Mum's name Elizabeth on it, no mention of his dad at all on it, so a dead end for me there. Hopefully someone has some info they might stumble on and see this post and reply...

If there was no father named on the birth certificate 150 years ago then I don't think anyone today is going to know anything to help you find him.

I'm sure most of us have illegitimate ancestors in our trees and there is usually nothing you can do to go backwards on that particular line.

I know Kath, true, ;-), but the optimistic person in me hopes that someone, might have wriiten down somthing that has passed through families, that links samuel to his father.. I don't care that he was illegitmate, just would be nice to put down who his father was...but that just wishful thinking on my part, before I started my fathers family tree, I only knew of his three siblings, now I have hundred plus of family names, that have been added by GR members and by accessing the certificates..couldn't have done it without you guys help and others that have kept information and passed it on, cheers ang.
