In the days when the Tips board was active...

My trouble is I know my grandfather had another sibling and they would of been born 1902 was hoping by then they had started putting the maiden name in the registers so that I would go for the right certificate. I don't know if it was a boy or girl so am stuck. Might have to take a trip to Nottingham Archives to have a look. Dawn

There is one period which lasts a few years in parish registers when the mother's maiden name is given. It is in the early 1800's and is wonderful when you find it - then it stops again! Typical ! Alice ( I am talking about parish registers - just realised you're not!)

If you can find the marriage on ancestry you can get a few possible spouses. If you are not on ancestry, post the name and possible years and place here and I will have a look for you.

Thanks Carol thats not going to help me then. Oh well never mind

1911 or 1912 I think

mothers maiden name on records. Not on the certs but in the registers when you look them up on 1837 etc.
