I have some credits left from when GR gave them to me by way of an apology for something or other

If anyone wants military and overseas BMDs looking up, Ive got the credits until the end of the day

Just post the details on here, please dont send a PM

I have some of them too Gins for exactly the same reason!

Do they 'run out' then ??

Wooooww Ginns !!!

I used up 5 of my 30 free credits to find my birth !!!

It would have been totally free on FreeBMD!

Glad I didn't pay for them !!! ;-)

Just realized I've got 30 credits too. Can't find where it says when they run out. Probably same as yours, Gins, but didn't get an email to say they were running out.

Youre welcome Jayne

Can I be cheeky and ask if you would you be able to look for her husband Richard William Williams he died in 1968 in Cook County, Illinois as wondered if he had married again?

Their story is when the mother (Mary Ann) died his 2 daughters were sent back to Wales and never saw their father again!

Hi Gins
No, I hadn't got the marriage record as I thought they had married here.

I will have to look for Mary Ann Roberts going out to the US too! I was looking for her married name and now I know she was single!

Many many thanks
:-) :-)

According to the census (Ive sent it to you my PM) they arrived in the US in 1906

Edit: Hes listed as a widow in 1920/1930 (Ive sent you the census)

Thanks for the census! I'll have to put on my other stronger glasses!! But it is worth it!
The family will be very pleased to see all this info on a once unknown subject for them. Richard and Mary Ann's granddaughter is 78 and is so excited on all this info I am finding out! So from Betty - thank you very much for your help!

:-) :-)

Jayne

You need to save those images of the censuses I sent you to your hard drive as they will disappear otherwise!

Open it then right click and save picture as

If no-one is using your credits?!?! apart from me.

I can't find the family apart from Richard Williams going to NY and he went (according to Ellis Island records) in June 1905. Looked at the manifest and Mary isn't with him!?
Mary Ann Roberts (b1888) must go out to marry in 1909! She was born in Llandudno, Wales
Then in the 1911 census she is on the 1911 census with her mother Jane in Llandudno and her daughter Ellen Jane Williams aged 1 born in the USA. Then they must return by 1919 when she dies. I have checked the Ellis Island records and can't see any of their trips.
Is there another way of finding them?
Thanks for your help
