Find Ancestors

I'm trying to trace my Nan my mums mum Evelyn singleton born march qtr 1905 and family or parents fromPreston lancs can you help me please

You will need to order the birth cert to get the parents names and the mothers maiden name. Once there you can get on the census trail which should get you back 100 years. Jo

This is the birth ref. Name: SINGLETON, Evelyn Record Type: Births Quarter: March Year: 1905 District: Preston County: Lancashire Volume: 8e Page: 556 The cert will cost £7.00. When you get it and have the full names of both parents, you will be able to look for them in 1901. Reg

Maybe you can help me now parents names William henry singleton, general labourer mother Alice green

Steve You can now search the GRO index images for free Go in through this page and bookmark it for the future http://www.ancestry(.)co(.)uk/search/rectype/vital/freebmd/bmd.aspx remove brackets Margaret

Why did you ask for birth info when you have the names? 1901 is free to search............. Reg

Steve Have to agree with Reggie. Why ask for info you already have? As said before, this info is now all available on a free site. Margaret

Sorry but i asked before my mum came up with the cert as she couldn't find it before maybe i won't ask again !

There's this William Henry born preston but as we know the birth place is not always the same on censuses you might want to start by getting the marriage certificate to see if he has a father and going from there. Other children are Bailey not Burley. 1891. Singleton, William H abt 1878 Preston, Lancashire, England Stepson Preston Lancashire Bailey, Margaret A abt 1857 Preston, Lancashire, England Wife Preston Lancashire Bailey, Thomas abt 1860 Bermuda Head Preston Lancashire Burley, John abt 1887 Preston, Lancashire, England Son Preston Lancashire Burley, Margaret A abt 1890 Preston, Lancashire, England Daughter Preston Lancashire Burley, Thomas abt 1883 Preston, Lancashire, England Son Preston Lancashire Lots of other William H's to choose from in Lancashire. Singleton, William H abt 1877 Barrowford, Lancashire, England Son Barrowford Lancashire Singleton, William H abt 1879 Manchester Son Broughton Lancashire Singleton, William H abt 1878 Blackburn, Lancashire, England Son Livesey Lancashire Singleton, William Harry Corbisbley abt 1876 Blackpool, Lancashire, England Son Layton with Warbreck Lancashire Singleton, William Henry abt 1878 Marton, Lancashire, England Son Marton Lancashire Singleton, Wm H abt 1879 Liverpool Son Liverpool Lancashire
