Birth in Hull of Frederick Walter Storey
« on: Saturday 15 August 09 05:47 BST (UK) »
I am looking for the birth circa 1842 in Hull.
He died in Queensland, Australia on 21 May 1919 and it states he was 77 years 5 months & 18 days old and that he was born in Hull, Yorkshire, England.
He immigrated to NZ in 1863 on the ship Annie Wilson and was registered as Walter Storey.  He was always known as Fred.  He married in NZ in 1870 and is named as Frederick Walter.
I would appreciate a lookup for his birth. 
with thanks, Satchwell

Hi
You can search the birth index free on www.freebmd.org.uk     It is work in progress but coverage for that time is very good.    www.genuki.org.uk will show you which registration districts cover the Hull area.   Hull itself and nearby Sculcoates are the most likely.   There is a possible Frederick Storry in 1843 in Sculcoates.   Does his death/marriage certificate give any parentage?
An 1851 and 61 census look up would be helpful too.
Regards
Andrea
