Ancestral success story at last!
« on: Thursday 13 October 05 23:04 BST (UK) »
Hi All

Just a note to say I finally obtained the 3 missing birth certs of certain ancestors  on my direct line from Cannock Register Office.  Paid yesterday, received today, and all living where I thought they were.  Also rootschatters helped me on the 1891 find them so having got all the ref points I am now a very happy person :D
Now only need the marriage of the parents between 1876 and 1881 and I am laughing  ;D but so far has taken 7 years and no joy at all for my great grandfather.  Cannot find GRO index refs, Cannock is looking, no church records, so probably register office.  Fingers crossed  :-\ may find them soon.

Cheers

great news John.  I know what it's like.  I found my Mum's great grandparents after two years of searching.  Mum is 91, so it was lovely to be able to tell her about them as she never knew her grandparents or great grandparents.

Keep pluggin' away...they are there somewhere  ;)

Thanks Mobo

I posted it on the Staffs board today as I thought that should be the right one.
