Use this site or just Google FreeBMD.

The work is done by volunteers but good coverage for Births,Marriages and Deaths up to about 1930's

Mothers maiden name was added to birth registration at the end of 1911. So after that date you can check by putting both surnames to find possible births

Use free bmd.

Enter Collyer for the Father's name, and Todd for the Mother's name,1911 to 1941 or suitable years, and 12 births pop up immediately (without even specifying Burton)

Thank you for responding to my query. How or where do you find the births of Todd/Collyer children. My mum was one of the twelve children from the Todd/Collyer clan which as you can imagine covers quite a range of years. At the moment I search the birth records on Genes for Collyer and just trawl through the many years! There must be an easier way? Any help would be appreciated.

1911

RG14 14 is the number that identifies the records as household schedules
PN Stands for Piece Number, which is an individual volume of records
RD Is the Registration District
SD Is the Registration Sub District
ED Is the Enumeration District
SN Is the Schedule Number within the Household Schedules

Going to bed now, I'll continue tomorrow. Thanks for all your help so far.

Sorry, I'm still learning, what are the number RG14PN 16806 etc. i've just gone onto Free BMD and found the one relating to Forehoe.

Do you know her middle name?
this birth index for 1911 census
Name: Winifred Evelyn Todd
Year of Registration: 1898
Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun
District: Forehoe
County: Norfolk
Volume: 4b
Page: 195

I don't know for definite if she was born in Burton, I'm probably making a lot of assumptions at the moment, as the rest of the family come from around that area and Otto lived in Willington which is about 5 miles away.

Matches the 1901 on parents


BUT you still need the marriage cert to confirm any info

Rather a lot of Todd/Collyer births in Burton after 1920.

Are you sure she was born in Burton?

These are all from free bmd, not much trawling involved as you have given most of the information.

This is the only Winifred E showing in free bmd (and in 1901 ancestry census)
Births Jun 1898
Todd Winifred Evelyn Forehoe 4b 195

How do you find things so quickly? I trawl through pages of records before I come across anything.

Very true, I can't find her birth record and can't work out where I got 1901 from, probably born 1898/99, married Otto Collyer

This marriage:
Marriages Jun 1920
Collyer Otto A Todd Burton 6b 1117
Todd Winifred E Collyer Burton 6b 1117

so the certificate will give you her Father's name.

If this is her death:

Deaths Mar 1949
Collyer Winifred E 50 Burton 9b 85

she would have been born 1898/1899.

Have you found her birth in free bmd or elsewhere?

This is the only Todd birth 1900/1901:
Births Mar 1901
Todd Mary Jane Burton 6b 381

Thanks

Can anyone find a Winifred E Todd born Burton on Trent 1901 please. I'm looking for her parents but I don't know their names. I know she died in 1949 named Winefred E Collyer also in Burton. Any info would be appreciated.

Thank you
