Hi,
I am looking for the details of Robert WIlliam Charles Bolt.
I am led to believe that he was born between 1920 - 1925 but I can't find any record of him. I know that he married a Violet Luxton, and that his father was called William b c 1905,and that his mother may have been called Lillian Maud Kitwell b c 1905. Ideally I am looking for the GRO numbers of Robers birth and marriage and his mothers birth and marriage. Basically any information is more than what I have. I also believe that they come from the Plymouth area and in particular E Stonehouse.

Thanks to everyone for thier help but I have looked on FreeBMD. This was a last resort as I couldn't see it - it kept saying no matches!
Thanks

Ericthered Report 18 Oct 2008 16:46

If you put in all of his forenames.....it would!

Just put in the first forename when searching....................

Kevin

Kevin Report 18 Oct 2008 16:48

Hi Ericthered
I did do just a basic search - oblivously you are a pro!

WayneTracey

WayneTracey Report 18 Oct 2008 16:48

Kevin,

As Eric says, it's always best to put is as little as possible and more options will appear....

Most of us adopt the 'less is more' theory to searching....

Hi Everyone

Thanks again

Marriages Dec 1873
Kidwell Charles Barnstaple 5b 867

Hi Tracey
With the 'less is more theory' I tried to copy your search for thier marriage and was sucessful. However I also found a George, John and Ann Kidwell all married in June qtr of 1872 from Barnstable. Is this normal? Dou you think that this was his brothers/sister??
