I need a birth lookup - Walcot, Bath
« on: Sunday 17 April 05 00:19 BST (UK) »
  I need a lookup for  FRANCES MARSH ADAMS.  I believe she was born somewhere between 1894 and 1897.  The census locates her birthplace as Walcot, Bath.   The above name was given on her parish marriage record at Lyme Regis, Dorset.   It was not noted if she were a spinster or widow.    I would so appreciate anyone finding the name of her parents.

Thank you in advance,

Carol ??? ::)

Hi Carol,

If you know the exact date of the marriage you can check the reference on this site:

http://www.1837online.com/  (pay per view)

You can then order a certificate from the GRO.

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificate/index.asp#0

This should tell you a father's name (if one is named) and whether Frances was a Spinster or Widow as well as occupations of Groom and Fathers and ages of the couple. 

Another option is to look on the above website for the birth certificate.  You could also look for the birth on

http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/

This is free but not complete and only goes up to about 1910 at present, so presumably no good for the marriage.

Hope this helps

Good Luck!  ;)

Debbie

Oh my!  I am sorry.  The dates should be between
1794 and 1797 for the birth of
Frances Marsh Adams.  I have seen the microfilm of the parish register for the marriage.
It was prior to 1837.
