Hello

I am relatively new to genealogy but am finding it exceptionally interesting and generally quite moving.
The majority of my searches to date have been in Staffordshire as thats where I was born and the majority of my family. Today, I have found my gg grandparents using the 1901 census (Geo Wright aged 37 born Preston, Lancs) and Kesia Wright (aged 39 born Sheldon, Derbys). I have had a lot of success finidng birth years using staffordshirebmd.co.uk but cannot find an alternative for Derbyshire or Lancashire to extend my search. Does anyone have a Kesia Wright in their tree or can assist in finding her maiden name?

Many thanks
Kate.

The birth certificate of one of their children will give you the mother's maiden name.
