Catherine Report 11 Jan 2012 12:28

Kenneth born 1941!

will pm other siblings if you can't find them yourself.

Flick

Flick Report 11 Jan 2012 12:29

Don't put in anything other than the two surnames (Knott and Thornton) in the appropriate boxes.................then click 'find'

I won't even think of sending the info, as it really is so much more rewarding for you to find it yourself...............

click on Births

surname :- Knott

Spouse/Mother surname :- Thornton

Date range:- 1930 no need to put a limit

If you're absolutely sure about the district, you can select a district.
If not but you are sure about the county, you can select a county.
If you're not sure about either leave them as they are.

Click on :- FIND

There is one possible birth in Oldham

and seven births in Hull.
Good Hunting!

Yes they are, apart from the Oldham one, which can't possibly be the same family...........BUT.........

Please remove them..........now.......................or GR will delete your post

You are NOT allowed to put details of living people on these insecure boards.

Margaret .............


just for your information


The assumption we usually make is that anyone born within the last 100 years is still alive ........ until we find a death registration for them.


Ancestry has a computer programme that automatically changes the forename of a person born within the last 120 yearst o "Living" on its family trees ......... unless a date of death is included.

Sorry

I was that happy to of found some information myself on a site I wasn't familiar with I didn't think...... because the person I was looking for had passed away I didn't think about the rest of them living people...... After I found Patrica Knott's brother's and sister's with your help I managed to find Patrica's Mum's brothers and sisters....... thought I was doing really well then I came to a dead end when not one of Edith Thornton (Patrica's Mum's) brothers or sister had there mums maiden name on there birth transcripts and I couldn't find there fathers first name.

Any body out there who would be able to tell what do I do next when that happens I checked a few census as well came up with names that didn't seem to match up xx

Mother's maiden names were only added to the index records after 1911

Have you got a DOB for Edith E ?
What does the E stand for ?



Is this her ?

Births Jun 1909

Edith's marriage certificate should tell you who her father was

SylviaInCanada Report 12 Jan 2012 01:01

Mother's maiden names were only added to the birth REGISTRATIONS in mid-1911


Although ....... some other bmd sites do show mmn sometimes. Lancashire bmd's are very good for that


sometimes you can get information from Baptism records ................ from the new familysearch site, where the records are taken from the Parish Records.


Try googling the names

Edith E Knott 1930 is Patrica Knott's sister and I think the E is for Elizabeth just like Edith's mother..... who was born 1909 Edith Elizabeth Thornton..... the Edith Im looking for is Edith and Patrica Knott's grandmother her Name is Edith as well she was born 1880 but cant find her maiden name any where......in one of the census 1911 I found she had been married about 14 years it worked out that she would of married around about 1896-97 sadly her husbands name wasn't on it.......when I put that info in BDM it came up with a William that married in Hull at that time the female he married wasn't Edith xx
