Kirsty here! Newbie!

[kkymmy]

Hi everyone,
I'm Kirsty, I'm 21 and I'm currently living in Liverpool although I'm originally from Nottingham. My uncle started researching our family history but sadly died earlier this year, leaving our family tree hanging around 1792 and I'm not sure what to do to pick up the pieces.

The name I'm particularly interested in is OFFER and the earliest records show residence in Wiltshire, England. The earliest record I have is John OFFER married to a SARAH (maiden name unknown) with one son, also called John.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Kirsty

Hi Kirsty

I am sure your uncle would be delighted you are carrying on his reasearch.

The IGI (International Genealogical Index) at
http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=igi/search_IGI.asp&clear_form=true

has three marriages of John OFFERs to Sarahs in Wiltshire. I am not sure which date would fit your tree best.

JO m Sarah GULLIVER 3 Oct 1731 Winkfiels, Wilts
JO m Sarah KINSMAN 18 Oct 1785 Enford, Wilts
JO m Sarah DIFFEL 7 Oct 1811 Melksham Wilts

I see you have put a query on the Wiltshire forum so will move over there.

There are plenty of sites to help with the basics of family history research
