According to trees on ancestry this is her birth:

England & Wales, FreeBMD Birth Index, 1837-1915

Name: Lucetta Jones
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1867
Registration district: Dudley
Inferred County: Staffordshire, Worcestershire
Volume: 6c
Page: 97

According to the 1911 census she was born Bilston, Staffs.

Alviegal, do you think that they have mispelt Lucetta's name as lourette in the census you have posted the info from?

Thankyou all again x

Yes Rachel, you'll find a lot of names get misspelt. That's half the fun of this hobby, trying to work out some elusive ancestor that has been transcribed wrongly!

Liz

Haha thanks!

How do you find the deaths then? do you just keep searching their name and dob in free bmd and see what it throws up?

Rachel the info I posted for Lucetta aged 14 is where she was living on the1881 census.

It has her birthplace as Hemsworth Yorkshire so not sure the birth found in Staffordshire is her.

It could be that was the only Lucetta Jones birth found so it was assumed to be right.

Never take info from someone's tree.
If they have it wrong then you end up following the wrong line.

It could be that Lucetta or Louretta wasn't born Jones but assumed her stepfather's name.

First step is to buy her marriage certificate from the General Registry Office. (£9.25) quoting the reference numbers given on freebmd.

Hi Rachel

I ref where I got the marriage from on the first post here, that site is free to search from 1837 up to about 1955

To have access to all records you need to pay a sub to:

Ancestry

Find My Past

There is another free site here

http://www.familysearch.org/eng/search/igi/search_igi.asp

Freebmd is still being transcribed so if there is anything you can't find, let us know and we will do our best to help.
Most of us subscribe to ancestry or findmypast and can find records on them. Other people may have access to different records so it's always worth asking if you're stuck.

Thankyou all.

Mike i understand what you are saying but surely this from Marie shows that what i had was correct. Youve got me wondering how easy it is to pick up the wrong info now!!

Not saying any info is wrong.
Just that you should check it out for yourself.

There appears to be some confusion over Lucetta's birthplace ( Hemsworth Yorkshire, Sedgley Shropshire, Dudley Staffordshire. )

You could do with knowing if father David was recorded as deceased on Lucetta's marriage certificate.

If not, he should be on the 1881 census.
If deceased you may be looking for Elizabeth as a Widow.


Also sister Harriet's birth cert would confirm the parents, and once you have a maiden name for Elizabeth you could find a marriage, which may or may not have been before Lucetta was born.
