Hello John

Thanks for that - the Kent connection may be of interest as the family named their house "Kent House" when they moved to Bermuda.

Hello

Can anyone find the WILSON family on any census please. 

They should be William and Patience married in Portsmouth in 1839 and their children
William Henry born 1841 - UK.
Patience Louise born 1843
Alice Ann born 1846
Henry John (my grand-father) born 1849 - died Bermuda in 1928.
James born 1852
Rose born 1857

Henry John was married in New York in 1872 but not sure when he emigrated.

My correspondent thinks that they may have lived on Penny Street in Portsea and that father was a wheelwright.

Many thanks

Hello Claudia

Thanks for that.  I'm looking for Edward GRANT who lived in Portsea.  He was born in 1880 and was still single in the 1901 census.  I've tried FreeBMD and come up with a marriage in 1904 but when I ordered, thinking the bride was Frances Burridge, the ONS came back to say that they weren't a couple!  My next step would be to order the certificate without the bride's name I suppose but I was wondering if there was another way.

Hello

On FreeBMD the "spectacles" let you have a look at, what I take to be, a national index of all the local registers.  My question is this - are there local register indices available which have only that area's registrations?  And are they available in the local libraries? 

I'm trying to find a marriage in Portsmouth in the early 20th century and trawling through the FreeBMD is very time consuming but if the local register index was available it would be very much easier.

Thank you

Chris
