Hi Marlene, Whereabouts are you? I'm in Auckland, and just checking my replies! I'll have a look for you - sorry don't have any special access though. Have you tried the surname navigator - remove the brackets www(.)rat(.)de(/)kuijsten(/)navigator choose country and type in the surname you're looking for Good luck Sam(via Martins pc)

Hi WILLIAM FAIRY was born c.1848 in Wood walton according to the 1851 census in Upwood Hunts to parents William and Sarah Fairy. In 1861 he is with them in Birmingham aged 13 and the census says he was born in Upwood. Then he disappears. Normal registration place would be Huntingdon I suppose? He was christened in Upwood in 1851 but I cannot find a likely birth registration to apply for a cert. I cannot find him on the 1881 although I know he was still alive in the mid 1880s because I have a photo of him with his niece aged abt 6/7 and she wasn't born until 1880! WHAT DO I DO NOW??????????? Does anyone have any resource which might help me? Marlene from a very waterlogged South Pacific
