I need some help please    My Great Grandfather James Walter J Eves says he was born in Strood Medway in 1864 . I can find no index for him or record. I have a strange feeling he may of been born at sea ,is there a way of finding out. I would like to find who hes mother was on his birth certificate.As my father and also myself have allways had a italian look it would be fun to find out.   James father was a seafairing captain .thanks alot

On the indexes there's a Walter John, dec qtr 1863, Kent..

Ok, best thing is to review what you have and their sources:

What census, certificates have you?, and what is the full information from each.
include everyone mentioned (unless it's a vessel or somesuch)!

Have 1891 census where he is called walter james eves ,wife alice ,son alfred,     1901 census he is james walter same wife also how has son william and daughter ada  Have marrige lines for james and alice where states father john eves a seafairing captain thats all i can find, on alice side i can go back i can go back to 1781 with no trouble    As james was born in 1864 he should be on 2 other census

What do you mean by:

"Have marrige lines"? We really could do with need the full details from a marriage certificate

What did the 1863 certificate say that made you decide that it wasn't the 'correct' child?
