Highly likely because if you look in the top right-hand corner of the next page the name of the ecclesiastical district has changed from St Johns to St Cuthbert.

So if you made a typo, what should you have given as Frederick's birth year if 1913 is incorrect?
And what place(s) of birth does he give on his marriage certificates?

Re Horace R Denson, there's a birth registration on FreeBMD for a Horace Russell Denson, June quarter 1876, Cambridge registration district. He'd be old enough to be the father of someone born in...

It's World 'Spot the typo' day. :biggrin:
If Frederick was born 1913 he's unlikely to have married in 1915.

Do Aussie marriage certificates give a country/place of birth?

Should have said that you could also search the GRO site for a birth registration entering John and Howard as first and middle names. Might be slightly quicker, though you can only search for five...

Doreen, re the deleted part of your request, search for just the groom in 1982 on FreeBMD. His wife's surname has been mistranscribed and I have sent off a correction.

Re John H/Howard John - do...

Do we assume that George is a typo and the name should be John?
And you won't find anyone in the 1840 census in the UK, because the census year is 1841. :biggrin:

Did John survive? i.e. you've...

I think you're confusing the person who has the responsibilty of dealing with the will with the person/people who are inherting.
If you're looking at the Probate Calendar the names given are the...

Think you might be missing one of the steps listed in this post.

Though which step it might be I don't know.

Free, because you're going to a Dutch archive for a Dutch document..
Same as over here. You can get a lot of English stuff for free if you go to the English local/national archives.

However, if...

Paul,
This is Pam.
Firstly, what you have to realise is that without the likes of Ancestry and FindMyPast possibly the only way to see documents such as the census would be to travel to the...

Paul,
The basic 'structure' of this thread is exactly the same as it's always been. Each post is numbered in the sequence 1, 2, 3, etc, the number being shown in the top right-hand part of the red...

Hello Niseko,

Welcome to British-Genealogy. :smile5:

Two very brief points.
It was quite common for people in their twenties to lose their husband/wife, and therefore marry again as...

bathsomerset - The newspaper articles on FMP are those on the British Newspaper Archive.

Hadn't seen your last post (#3) before I posted mine (#4).

It sounds as if you have several letters from Mr Watts. What is the date of the earliest, and what is the date of the latest? Are any...

I presume you are talking about Shaftesbury in the county of Dorset in England, and not a Shaftesbury somewhere else in the world?

Jenny Watts is not a name in the 1861 census for England and...

You obviously have a document, signed by [initial][initial] Watts, which has a reference to 'my wife, Jenny'.
Is this document dated? If not, how have you arrived at 1870-1880?
And how exactly does...

I'll change my name to Phillip for a few minutes. :biggrin:

The volume number is almost like check reference to a particular registration district. e.g. if the registration district is Mile End,...

The link in the first post no longer works, but I've found this one.
Try this for the acronyms....

First of all, uncle's service (where he was, what he did) record is not yet online, and depending on his year of birth, it may be some time before it is.
I'm assuming that he was in the army, and...

Not available that I can see on Ancestry, FMP, or The Genealogist, so it looks like you'll need to book a holiday in Nottingham (presumably the City Council should be able to tell you where to go),...

Susannah -
No, I haven't lost my brain cell. :biggrin:
We need to make sure we get the correct John to trace backwards before we can think about who his father might be. Hence all my questions...

So we all start by looking at proven records you have, what information do you have for John Garnett, born about 1835, in the 1861 census where he should be shown as married to Elizabeth nee Brown?...

Your local library may provide free access to FMP and/or Ancestry.
The only downside being that you have to physically go to the library to access the site(s).
