Have just started to try and put together a family history, and found this site.
the names so far that feature in my lot are the Geary (my lot,seem to have stayed in Southwark area for years) Martyn (think they came originally from Cornwall though its a guess, think had coffee shops) Williams ( had coffee shops, in London) Bedfords (Wantage Oxfordshire I think) Clark (Southwark my grandfather sold horse meat) Laundy(Southwark area seem to have been hawkers and costas)
So much on this site not sure how to best use it, any advice would be appreciated.
Have seen at least one mention regarding the Martyns that rang bells

Hi mikeg13 and welcome to Rootschat
You'll have to give dates of when your looking and any information ie do you have birth, wedding death certificates?
Any info that will allow us to help you
We can check all sorts of records, Censuses 1841 - 1911 once you get back that far also http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl is for Births Marriages and Deaths 1837 - c1920's
Just tell us what you have and stand back!!

Hi Mike
Welcome!
The best plan is to have a read on How to Use Rootschat and the other beginners' threads first.
Remember to ask if there's anything unclear - we try our best to help.
It's best to post just once for each query, which avoids duplication.
Have fun!
Kind regards, Arranroots

one of the first names tried to get info on was my grandmother, Ada GEARY (LAUNDY) found marrige details Southwark 1d 116 1907 Sep, death details Camberwell 1d 998 1927 age 37 (not surprised amount of children she had) but can not find any birth details, was hoping that would have give proof of name of her mum, do have a first name Susan (but not sure its right) but not a surname.
Probably done things wrong way round but have put together a tree without that much evidence, but money is tight and thought that this would allow me to spend on the key members once had a fair idea correct person, but seemed to be stuck at the first hurdle.

Just to clarify - it seem Alfred GEARY was the groom and Ada LAUNDY the bride.
Have you looked for them on the census, to try to establish where and when she was born?
It sounds as though she was married very young, if the age at death is accurate.

Yes thats them have all the census record, know a fair bit about them, on my mums marriage certificate father in law down as a costa, on some census he is shown as a hawker, its a birth cant find. So far have 10 kids am sure of and have been led to believe there are more, incredible!!!

This isn't straightforward!
I wonder if it was a second marriage for them? If it was, it might explain why you can't find the birth.
Marriage
Dec 1890 St Saviour Vol 1d Page 73
LAUNDY Edward Charles
SMITH Susannah on the same page
On the other hand, there is only one Charles LAUNDY on the 1891 census and he's a lodger with a family (PAYS?) where the wife is called Susan. This Charles is aged 40, single and a butcher. Seems most unlikely ...
Just seen your reply - what we need is the marriage certificate information then!
Let us know what you already have in detail please, cos its a waste of time looking for them if you already have the records.
Kind regards, Arranroots

Answering my own questions here but they are down as Edward and Susannah on the 1891 census, so the marriage I posted above looks good.
You might be looking for SMITH births then!!

It is a puzzle have just about every thing regarding them except the birth details, there is a birth that kinda fits that found today its
Mar St Savior 1d 191 name is Mary Ann M LAUNDY.
family in them days did not seem to move about much on that side, all in or around Southwark/Blackfriars area
There well could have been a second marriage, but in 1911 census father in law living with son in law and daughter.
thought would need birth details to get her mothers name, is there another way.

I thought you were looking for an Ada?
You're going to have to be much more specific if I;m to follow your train of thought please!
Can you post your own transcription of the 1911 census please?

You are a star checked up your suggestion and lo and behold an Ada SMITH is there 1d 73 St Savior jun 1889, have been trying for weeks to find and was going round in circles trying different first names, as few of my lot I know did not use first name they were born with.
Thank you so much will send of for it and fingers crossed it will be right one.

That does sound promising!
I will move this thread to the London board now, as it mainly deals with that area - please post the outcome here when the certs arrive, especially if you need more help.
A little learning curve though - you do need to post much more information about what you've got. It might be a pain for you to type it all out BUT it is much more of a pain to spend time looking for things that you already know!
Look forward to hearing from you when the cert arrives.
Kind regards, Arranroots
