Leicester Birth / Baptism Look Up Please?

[fek33]

Hi, I am looking for a Nancy Merrall probably born Leicester,  she could either have been Nancy Wells.

If she is listed as Merrall, mother would have been Ellen Merrall, father unknown.

If she is listed as Wells, mother would have been Ellen Merrall, father John  Arthur Wells.

Ellen Merrall had twin boys, George & Tom in 1916, registered Leicester.  A member of my family recalls they had a sister called Nancy, but I can't seem to find her.

Ellen did marry John Arthur Wells in 1910 in Leicester and I know for definate they had a son called Arthur in 1911, registered Leicester.

Hope this makes sense!

Any help would be appreciated.  Many thanks.  FEK33

Hi

You can now search the full GRO index yourself free of charge at
http://www.ancestry.co.uk/search/rectype/vital/freebmd/bmd.aspx

Choose “Complete BMD Index Ranges & Images 1837-1983

The partially transcribed index (freebmd) can also be searched on the same website or at http://freebmd.rootsweb.com      However -  this index is still being compiled by volunteers so is by no means complete

Hi, thanks for that.

I have tried to look for Nancy on the GRO Index, but couldn't find her.  I don't know if I am missing anything 

I will have another go, perhaps I've tried too hard!!

Hi

The only other thing I can think of is that Nancy was a corruption for another christian name rather than her actual name.  Or - she had another first christian name but was known as Nancy (eg) Elizabeth Nancy

Hi CaroleW,

Thanks for that - it hadn't crossed my mind to look for a different christian name.   

I will try again!

Hi

Luckily - the surnames are not too common and you know the mothers maiden name

Good luck
