DAVIS/DAVIES - Westminster?
« on: Wednesday 28 December 05 11:36 GMT (UK) »
Hi

I am trying to find Hannah DAVIS/DAVIES who was born in Westminster in about 1801.  I've got Hannah marrying Samuel CHADWICK in 1822 and living in Bury, Lancashire by 1841, but I wondered if there was any way I could find out who her parents were?

Thanks

Hello

This guide may help http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,101469.0.html

There are some possibilities here that are worth investigating and perhaps looking at the original records but with a relatively common name it might be a slog unless you can narrow down the birthplace from another census entry? ... http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp

Hope that helps
