« on: Sunday 12 June 11 10:21 BST (UK) »
Hello, my name is Amy and im hoping someone can help me tracing my family roots in Surrey. The info I already know is, my great-great-great grandfather is John Curtis born 1814 in Chertsey, is wife was called Eliza Howard, and his parents, my great-great-great-great grandparents were called John and Elizabeth, then I seem to not be able to trace any further, I would love to know more info on John and Elizabeth, their DOB, their parents etc. Any help with be fantastic!
Thanks so much
Amy  ;D

Wow thanks for the quick response! I do have the cesus on John/Eliza, 1871 I think, I just seem to get no where after that tracing back further, just knowing John's parents names and that it, it is so frustracting, but Im very grateful for your help, thanks so much  :D
