Find Ancestors

kucinta
thank you very much will do this later today
thank you

Contact details for the GRO are here:

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/contact_us.asp

I would contact them and see what they have to say - you have the Index name and period and page number, but I would check what info you are likely to get, especially as there is a chance it may not be your William, before attempting to order anything.

They can help you with any queries about ordering as well, as it's not a standard GRO ref.

I'm afraid I know as little as you :-)


Good luck!

i believe you have traced him on the marine index how do i get further info from that
hes my 3x great grandfather
should i contact gro at southport for this
thank you you have been most helpful

Might it be worth contacting the GRO with the Marine Death Indices 1837-1846 ref, and asking them what information would be provided?

There is a chance it's not your William.

Would be interesting to know what sort of information they recorded for marine deaths.

yes the posts crossed thank you now i have to try to trace when & where he died but informed he died at sea

Hi David, looks like our posts crossed - I've given you census 1851 as well.

So he died between 1841 & 51, possibly before 1846 if he's the guy on the marine index I posted.

The spelling of Russel is the same.

jax that is him sorry i did not trace him on a census

kucinta
thank you he could be amongst that

no not known sorry i dont have much info on him

All I could find was this, which is not very informative.

Name: RUSSEL, William
Year: 1837-1846
Page: 167

Record source: GRO Marine Death Indices (1837 to 1846)

So he may have died before 1837 so there would not be a death cert for him.

Or do you know whether he was alive after that date?

not found on census

Have you found them on any census together?

mark
his name is william russell born beer devon 1794 he was a fisherman
his wife jane tucker born beer devon 1787 died 28 jan1855 colyton devon i have the death cert which states she was a widow

Do you have a name - dates any other information on this person ...
