Hi, I'm looking for some help tracking down an ellusive individual.  I thought it would be a rather easy task due to her unusual first name, bur after trying both Ancestry and FreeBMD I've drawn a blank.

This is what I know so far:

Her name is ESSIE PRICE and from later census returns following her marriage, her place of birth is always listed as 'Durham'.

She was born in approx 1857, which would make her about 24 in the 1871 census.

I'm pretty confident that ESSIE isn't a shortened form of another name, as this is what has been listed on her Marriage & Death records.

So if anyone can turn something up, I would be very grateful.

Thanks
Richard

That's absolutely fine with me - I really appreciate you going out of your way to help.

Thanks again,
Richard

Hi, would anyone be kind enough to perform a lookup for me please for the following in the Brighton area:

James Nash Tettersell (Would be approx 20)
Elizabeth Tettersell (Approx 25 - 27)
Both born Brighton, and lived in Brighton until their deaths (from what I have found so far)

I understand that they were married in 1858, and in the 1871 Census, there are 5 children, although the oldest James William Tettersell is 9.

I have a birth certificate for James junior, from 1860, so would be interested to learn if the Census reflects this (and any other children which I am unaware of)

Just a word of warning, I have come across a number of variations to the surname TETTERSELL, from Tattersall, through Lethersell to Fredendall.  The mind positively boggles !!!

If there is any further information I can give to help - please let me know.

Thanks in advance,
Richard

Hi Genni,

Is it possible for me to be able to track down a death certificate from the date and first name alone ?

All of the children were born in the same area (West Mersea).  Probably a very silly question, so I apologise in advance.  Is there a central location to check church records, or will this be a matter of visiting a resource library local to the area which I'm researching ?

Thanks
Richard
