Hi

I have found a baptism for Ellen Ricketts who I believe could be my relation - she was baptised in 1857 (17th May) in St Martin in the Fields, and this confirms she was born on 1st March 1857 - I was thinking of getting her birth certificate however I cannot find the birth record, would anyone mind having a look for me.

Many thanks

Nikki

She may not have been registered it was not compulsary then...or should I say there were no penalties for not doing so

Hi Jax & Vera

It is a very long mystery, one which I have been trying to research for ages, just wish I could get a birth certificate for her - it is the same with her sister Emily Ricketts (they married two brothers with the surname French) cannot find her birth either

Hi Jax

No I haven't unfortunately - Emily is my Great Nan and I really have not been able to get very far with researching her - I have found her marriage certificate and also Ellen's but not much more than that - very weird

Hi Maddie

I have already got that birth certificate and wasn't the right one - I was really hoping it was when I requested it but alas no
