Find Ancestors

Why cant i find my sons birth on ancestry , after all i did register him , has anyone else come across this? Carol

Hi Carol, What is his name and when was he born?, sometimes the page does not appear on ancestry. Keith

are you looking at the BMD index or the transcribed ones on ancestry? also could be in the next 1/4 to what his birthday month is in if near end of 1/4 Jeanette

carol,ive had the same trouble,can only find two of my four children, and i dont exsist.xx

Hi Jeanette I was looking at BMD and yes i did look at the next qtr isnt it strange, Carol

Sometimes, the full index does not bring up the name looked for, I search with the first three letters of the surname then * (wildcard), in the relevant year, normally this will bring up any missing quarters, try it. Keith

Hi Keith His name is Darren Colin Bell born nov 26th 1967 Romford my maiden name is Turner Carol

Hi Jeanette I have just given Keith my details , perhaps he could find you and your 2 children weird is nt it Carol

Hi Peter Have been looking for my granny for 35 yrs without a surname as she remarried so am trawling through alphabet , and just wondered (as you do) if they are all complete ,so i thought i would look up someone who i knew would be on there like me yes i found me so i looked up my son and he was nt there Carol

Sorry Susanne ,i called you JEANETTE , Jeanette is probably thinking but i havent got 2 children , oh dear i think i have started a chat thread ,i will get thrown off of G.R. Carol xx:o)

Carol, no luck I'm afraid, he does appear to be missing, tried searching for surname colin,darren, and bell variations. I suppose like old times some slip through the net and are not transcribed.

Hi Keith Thanks for looking , i only looked for him to see if the site was complete , it makes you wonder if the rellies we look for are on there somewhere but like my son are missing ,thank you very much Carol :o)

Found Darren in Q2 1968, Bell, Darren Colin, Turner, Havering, 5c 150 Possibly registered late?

Hi Keith You are a star, thank you , i did nt think i left it that late , mind you i was a young mum and wife ,well thats my excuse , i am off to look now thank you so much Take care Carol x

Hi Carol I've come across the same problem when looking for my son's birth too lol. You need to jiggle about with the names - try just the 1st 3 letters and see if that brings up the missing quarters. Mary

Hi Mary Thank you for your tip ,,Keith found it on 2nd qtr 1968 i must have registered him late , what a drip i am Carol x
