Family History Beginners Board / Re: Bapitismal Record Found- How to obtain?

Hi Mele
Have you tried contacting the church directly? (if you know where it took place).  I did this successfully with some Scottish Catholic baptisms.

In the above article it mentions that William was married at St Mary's Church, Gateshead in 1821, and 20 years later was widowed with 3 daughters.  It also says that he served in the army in India in 1811.

Hi All
I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but I cannot seem to find the date that this took place!  I've tried Googling, but to no avail😕

Don't forget that some UK libraries have free access (for library members) to FindMyPast.

The Common Room / Re: Surname question: why a baby maintain birth surname even though mother married
« on: Wednesday 30 March 22 13:26 BST (UK)  »
My mum's half brother (born to my grandmother before she married my grandfather) always went by his biological father's surname, even though my grandad brought him up.  The biological father was named on his baptism in Scotland, and I wonder whether some sort of maintenance payment might have been established, although I don't think father & son kept in touch.

Family History Beginners Board / Re: Search birth certificates using mother's first name?
« on: Saturday 27 November 21 18:25 GMT (UK)  »
I"m a bit late to this thread, but was wondering if it might be a good idea to put it on the DNA board, where there will be people who can help you analyse your unknown matches, and maybe get some clues as to your birth father's identity.

Good luck with your search, and I hope this doesn't affect your relationship with your dad too much.
