Find Ancestors

how would i go about finding when and who my uncle married,i dont know any dates only the date of his birth i know he got divorce and went to south africa,this is what i have for his birth joseph rathbone mellor born ,14 may 1894 63 bianca street bootle,father samuel mellor mother,ada mary mellor formerly bassindale if anyone can help thank you for your time,joyce

hiya, i would start by looking 20 years after his birth, the BMD index is free to search on ancestry, do you have access to the census? have you got him and his family on1901?? julie

hiya, this looks like his birth Name: Joseph Rathbone Mellor Year of Registration: 1894 Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun District: West Derby County: Lancashire Volume: 8b Page: 480 julie

i have got him on 1901 but dont have excess to census

Joyce, if you buy some credits on Family Relatives at www.familyrelatives.org then you can find all the Joseph Mellor marriages up to 1920 (you can't search by middle name on there), and then you could search through the GRO indexes quarter-by-quarter on ancestry from 1921 onwards if you don't find him before 1920. Kate.

yes thats his birth as i have the cert

i hope you dont mind me asking this but i just wondered why he had rathbone as his middle name could it have been his grandmothers name as there was rathbones in liverpool,as he is not the only one in the family with the same middle name thank you

Joyce, hasn't this whole Rathbone thing been looked at on here before? Kate.

hiya, this is 1901, View Record Ada Mary Mellor abt 1870 Manchester, Lancashire, England Wife Walton on the Hill Lancashire View Record Ada May Mellor abt 1897 Walton, Lancashire, England Daughter Walton on the Hill Lancashire View Record Jose Rathbone Mellor abt 1895 Bootle, Lancashire, England Son Walton on the Hill Lancashire View Record Samuel Mellor abt 1870 Bootle, Lancashire, England Head Walton on the Hill Lancashire julie, like i said i would begin by looking at ancestrys complete images, which are free to search, i would begin at 1914 and take it from there HTH Julie

sorry kate i forgot i have probly put it somewhere must be the age ,please forgive for asking again

hi julie thank you will do that and see what i can find have anice day joycex

Goedemiddag Joyce, Is this it? MELLOR, Joseph R. married LATHAM, Jane West Derby, Register Office or Registrar Attended Liverpool REG_WD/312/188 I found it on this useful site: http://www.lancashirebmd.org.uk/cgi/marrind.cgi Ik hoop dat het goed is! [Ik ben ook een 'ex-pat' wonend in Nederland].

Glenn, you forgot to put in the year! Lancashire Marriage indexes for the years: 1915 Kate.

Forgot to say 1915, I'll try to find the quarter now. Krissie Kloggie [I have logged in using hubby's site] Found it jul/aug/sept on Ancestry free BMD

thanks glen it could be him will also try that site,by the way im not dutch im from liverpool just live in holland its my husband whos dutch ,do you no what year that was

Hi Joyce, I'm from Wallasey, it's a small world, isn't it?

krisse it is im coming over to liverpool on 21 june then to yorkshire to see my family ,i use to go to new brighton as achild and then teenage it was good in them days

hiya, i would suggest that 'Rathbone' is indeed a surname, perhaps not directly from grandparents, but maybe a gen or two before, i have this kind of thing in my family Julie

Hi Joyce, When I was a student [late 60's/early 70's] I used to work in New Brighton in the big chippie on the corner of Victoria Road just opposite the public loos. People came streaming off the ferry straight into the chippie, it was a booming,seaside resort then. Haven't been there for years, I hear it's all changed now. Try these sites for a walk down 'memory lane': http://www.new-brighton.f2s.com/ http://www.newbrightonpostcards.org.uk/index2.php This is a good one too: http://www.old-merseytimes.co.uk/index.html
