Europe / French Birth Record
« on: Tuesday 06 February 18 16:18 GMT (UK)  »
I wonder if anyone can help with a search for my 3rd great grandfather. It has taken a long time to get this far, as my research now shows his name had changed by the time it was added to his son's marriage certificate in 1878 (he was deceased by then), as had his son's (Alfred Raphael Gassion) ! The birth record I just cannot find is for Francois Hubert Gassion. I know he was born around 1800 in France (from census information) and he was an Assistant French Master at King's College London between 1833 and 1853. I just cannot find any clue as to where in France he was born, nor when he came to the UK. Any helps or tips would be gratefully received. This really is all I need to know at this stage. Many thanks.

Immigrants & Emigrants - General / Birth Record Egypt 1836
« on: Saturday 20 January 18 19:21 GMT (UK)  »
I wonder if anyone can help. I am trying to obtain a birth record for my 2nd gt grandfather who was born in Alexandria, Egypt around 1836. (I have a name for his father but not for his mother). He came to the UK at some stage and was married in Birmingham in 1878. I can trace family after his arrival, but nothing before that date. The UK census states ''Born in Egypt (British Subject)''. Does anyone know where I can apply for his birth record? Any help would be very much appreciated. I have been searching for this for many years.

Warwickshire Completed Lookup Requests / COPSON - COVENTRY
« on: Friday 26 May 17 21:29 BST (UK)  »
I would be so grateful if someone could find the whereabouts on the 1911 census, of Maud Elizabeth Copson born in Coventry. She would be aged between 9/10 as she was born 1901/2. I know she is not on this census with her mother as I have found her mum (Fanny Copson) at a different address. Any help would be very much appreciated  ;D
