Hi again Pam,

Yes, I'm in the UK.  I live in London. Ancestry is from Yorkshire, Lancashire, Staffordshire, Shropshire and Suffolk premdominently, although I've relatives all over the world now.

Hopefully you'll be able to share you details so I can get the certificate out to you now :-)

Regards
Derek.

Hello Pamela,

I'm not related to this particular AVERY family. Whilst I was trying to find a marriage for my g-grandmother's cousin, I bought this one but it was for a different Percy.   

If you want the copy of the marriage certificate for your own records I'll happilly send it to you in the post.  Just let me know.

Regards
Derek.

Unwanted Birth, Marriage, Death Certs A to G / Re: BOOTH Emma, 18th Mar 1868, Holme Tong, Yorkshire. Birth Certificate.

Hi Elaine,
Thanks for your reply.  i had a check on Ancestry and the Stead BOOTH mentioned on this certificate was the son of Joseph BOOTH (c1807) and Ruth STEAD (c1807), so isn't from your William, but perhaps there is a link.
Note that my BOOTHs are not yet connected with your line as I don't have any of the names you have mentioned, but it may be there is a connection further back perhaps.
Thanks again for getting in touch and best of luck with your ongoing research.
Regards
Derek

Hi Lynn - I've not come across an Elizabeth yet from the Rushall area around that time. If I do come across anything though I'll be sure to get in touch.

Unwanted Birth, Marriage, Death Certs A to G / Re: FRANKS Henry & WHARTON Agnes, 27th Aug 1856, Bolton, Lancs. Marriage Cert
« on: Monday 17 March 08 16:55 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Jan,
I'm afraid all I have is the marriage certificate for Henry FRANKS and Agnes WHARTON. This was actually a certificate I purchased when I was looking for the 2nd marriage of one of my ancestors, Henry FRANKS (1826-1864), but this was not the correct one.
If you're contacts in Lancaster think that this certificate might be something to do with their family then I'd be more than happy to send it over to them.
let me know.
cheers, derek..

Midlothian / Re: William BENTON - born c1810, Edinburgh
« on: Friday 30 November 07 11:50 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Nic,
I've seen the baptism for William BENTON (18/03/1781, Cheslyn Hay, Cannock, Staffs) to John BENTON and Mary BAKER on the IGI but I can't be 100% sure that this is the one. 

I've been to the National Archives and looked through the very meagre records that are left with any details of him and found his details there which showed he enlisted in the First Dragoon Guards on 25th Nov 1799 and later died at the Battle of Waterloo on 18th June 1815.

The documents listed him as being born in Ridgley, Staffs (which I assume to be a variant of present-day Rugeley, Staffs). My dilema is that Rugeley is just over 10km north of Cheslyn Hay, so I can't confirm if the 1781 baptsim is my ancestor or not.   I know that there were also baptisms registered in Rugeley that aren't on the IGI yet so perhaps something will come up following a visit to the staffs archives some time....

If you want I'd be happy to share my BENTON ancestral file with you. I've lots from William (c1781) downwards....
