Find Ancestors

Judith, Thanks for that info, although I have been doing family research for a few years I am new to ordering so now I am a little stuck as to which one to order for Henry Chapman born Sotby Lincolnshire abt 1846 Father Thomas Chapman Mother Elizabeth White. I have them on the census but cant find the exact year for henry's birth details, he has a older Brother William born abt 1841 Kind Regards Rita x

Births were not indexed with mother's maiden names until 1911 so those names Dawn found on Freebmd, although she put in the maiden name, will only have been matched by the child's christian and surname. To get the mother's maiden name you will have to order the cert. or as Dawn said, put it as a checking point when you order. By the way yes you can specify checking points when you order online. Good luck Judith

Hello Dawn, Thank you for that, I am in Western Australia and I ordered the other one on 1837 on line, can i do that about putting the parents name incase it is the wrong one. The infor you gave me for Henry & William I should be able to order them with what you gave me, is that surpose to be BOURNE with a e or without. perhaps I am being abit !!!!!!! Thanks you for your help. Rita

Please could someone help me or suggest as to what I should do, today I received a Birth certificate which I had ordered but wrong one, it was for my Gt Grandfather Henry Chapman born 1846 Sotby Lincolnshire. Father Thomas Chapman Mother Elizabeth Chapman nee White. Henry had a brother called William born I believe 1841. The certificate I received was for a Henry Chapman Born Hordington Horncastle District Vol 14 Sept Qtr Page 1116 Father Joseph Mother Rachel Chapman nee Hordington. I was given these details for my Gt Grandfather with the Sept Qtr, but I have also got a march Qtr but it has the same parents on, would this be another certificate being a different qtr, thats 2 wrong certificates I have ordered now, Unlucky Rita xx
