you can now search the GRO births and get mothers maiden names pre 1911



Please could you tell me WHERE I can do that?  Pretty, pretty please, with sugar on the top :-)

thank you

 :o  I only just began researching the Donkin family tree a couple weeks ago so forgive me if I'm not good at searching through censuses. I have looked and it's possible it could be them.

Thank you for your help.

Just type in Google GRO births and it should come up with the official website where you can order certificates.

I didn't doubt the veracity but have been really busy of late and not had time to read as much as I would like so obviously missed it totally!

Many thanks Jen, off to have a looksee!

If you compare the 1881 census with the 1861 census i posted.....you will see that on the 1861 census the two youngest children,,Michael and Robert,,could be the same Michael and Robert in the 1881 census,,,,also note that Michael and Roberts father in 1861--George is a Blacksmith.  Which coincidentally? is Michaels occupation in 1881,,,,taught by his father ?

i would get a birth certificate of one of the children,,,then come back to this. :)

Just to say (and I started to post this and got sidetracked over the GRO search!)
On the 1851, 1861, 1871 and 1881 census returns, William Donkin, born c 1823, Winlaton is recorded as being UNmarried.

and again,,,that baptism suggests he is NOT the son of William Donkin....you can see Michael W Donkin in the 1881 census....living with William Donkin and the Forster family?

Are the DONKIN family listed as DUNCAN in 1841? (in Winlaton).

I just can't quite figure out who young George (11 year old nephew) is. He doesn't seem to be the one registered with mmn STRAKER but I'm not seeing any other "possibles". Probably just me. ::)
