Hi,
I am trying to find the parents of Lilian May Roberts for a friend. Lilian May married John Ernest Clay in 1919 in Emmanuel Church, New Brighton, Wallasey. I got this from Free BMD & The Cheshire Births, Marriages, Deaths website.
I don't want to send for the marriage cert unless I really have to. I believe the Parish Records for 1919 to be still at the Church. I wondered if anyone could check them for me. Big ask I know!!!
The other thing is that  I found a death for a Lilian May Clay in 1962 aged 66. This would make her born c 1896. And there is a birth on FREE BMD & Cheshire BMD for a Lillian May Clay in 1896 in Birkenhead district. I wonder if her baptism is recorded anywhere.
Any help much appreciated - My friend is 87 years old, and Lilian May was her mother!
Thanks

Benjamin STEAD was born Hopton, Mirfield in 1811 ( from censuses). According to IGI he was baptised in Mirfield 17 Mar 1811.
I can't find him ( for certain) on the 1851 census BUT on the 1861 census and beyond,  he is married to Sarah Ann ( born Bristol, Gloucestershire) and has children - Agnes born 1851 Thornhill, Elizabeth Ann born 1855 Thornhill, Hannah born 1857 Thornhill, Asa born 1859 Thornhill and  Alice born 1862 Thornhill. The 3 eldest's baptisms are on the IGI.
What I would really like to know is his wife's Maiden Name, as there are several marriages on Free BMD which might be correct.
Has anyone got access to the Thornhill PRS - could they, please, check for possible baptisms for the children, please, to see if the mother's maiden name is mentioned.
A definate marriage would be great too, ofcourse. Benjamin's father was Jonathan Stead ( I think).

Thanks

My GGG Grandad was James NORMAN born ( according to 1841 census and the age at his death) 1774. The 1841 census tells me he was born in Cambridgeshire. He married Ann DARLEY in 1799 in March Cambs.
I have the March Parish Records on CD and he doesn't appear to have been baptised in March.
There are 3 other NORMANs living in March who were born c1757-1769 and I wonder if they were James' brothers and maybe they all moved to March together. None of them seem to have been baptised in March.

Edward NORMAN who married Mary DICKERSON in March and he died in 1826 aged 69, so therefore born c 1757
Thomas NORMAN who may have married Mary STEVENS (widow) in 1814 and he died in 1838 aged 69, therefore born c 1769
William NORMAN who married Elizabeth ELDRIDGE in 1785, therefore probably born c1760

I am hoping that someone will recognise some of these names and be able to prove or disprove my theory. I am hoping it will help find James' parents.

Hello
According to census information, My G G Grandad, Thomas SCOTT was born c1797 in Haddenham.  I haven't got any further back on this side of the family tree, and wondered if anyone had access to the Haddenham Parish Registers and could see if he is listed, please.
Or if anyone thinks they may be linked - Thomas married Mary Bullen in Hilgay, Norfolk in 1821.
 
Thanks
