census look up, Bates of Rugeley

[treefreak]

See how your certificates go.....good excuse for a holiday though..lol

[RobBates]

just can't order directly cause prior to 1900 I need
the GRO index code or what ever...which I don't have !

so I've email them what I have on my father B.C.
and wait for what they will answer !?!!

hope British civil servant are more of "civil service enthusiastic"
then they are here in Canada.

other wise it's going to be brickwall on top of brickwall !!! :-

..but if I'm not optimistic, I'm as stubborn as they come when
I can't find something !!!

Cheers Sandra,

Rob

Hi,

Do you know that something like

Births Jun 1852
BATES  John     Walsall  6b 497

actually IS the complete reference?

Registration District Walsall
Volume 6b
Page 497

Cheers
Tanja

Yes, Tanja, I know..

only it state on my father B.C. that John was born
in Rugeley and the only one in Rugeley that match
is not him (as previously confirm, it "John and Isabella Bates")
which has no relation to me !

either that or is birth year is not right on 1901 census,..could be 1855
but then there is so many that buying them all (B.C.) still wont tell me
if it's the right one, won't it ?!!

So I'm trying to see if the GRO would be able to trace either on of them
(John or Sarah) true my father's B.C.

but anyway I'm going to check this one you gave me, maybe it's the town
he was born that is false !?!!

much grateful to you Tanja,

Rob

[treefreak]

Sorry can't be more help Rob

Just to let you know, the birth index I posted for TAMWORTH, the year is 1853.

Sandra

Question:

on my father birth.cert. it says for my Gmother:

sarah Bates formerly Williams

does that meen her maiden name or previous married name ?

Rob

[treefreak]

Hi Rob

It could mean either, usually the name she was using before she got married.

Regards

Sandra

[RobBates]

well that open up different track !

possibly a widow in 1891 with Williams not being
her maiden's name !?!!

what do you think Sandra ? is that possible ?
it's worth looking in to it !!!
