Hello I need some help...

I am trying to find the children of a marriage between William e head and Louisa macallster ( married 1925 dartford ) My mum tells me that they had 4 children but she doesn't know some of their proper names only the ones that family called them I.e

Millie ( family Nick name) head
Joyce head
David head
Lulu (family Nick name )?head
They were all born in dartford area .
I have been searching using familysearch but can't seem to find them?? I found one birth but not sure if it has been transcribed wrong?? I need a second opinion from a more experienced person.


This is one birth I found and thought it could be for lulu????

Yes I was looking too and was going to come back and say is it possible Louisa was married before so macallstor / ster wasn't her maiden name

Trudy

Trudy Report 20 Nov 2014 14:38

Yeah that's possible I didn't think of that
