thank you ladies for your replys i did look on family search and none of them came from b,ham most of them did come from dorset,i will get the certs so i can build on this family and see if my tuffins did originate from dorset angie x

Susan, Tuffin is not that unusual. If you do a quick search on this site for the surname, there are 4790 Tuffin's on here. Kath. x

I'm not sure if it helps but I was working on my stepmother's tree some months ago and she had a number of Tuffins who were from Dorset and went way back to the 1500s. It seems an unusual name and I wonder if yours were from the same area originally. I am pretty sure that someone here on GR was the one who pointed us in the right direction. It might be worthwhile you doing some tree searches. Sue

There are quite a few William Tuffin's on Ancestry and also quite a few Ellen Hatton's. It would be best to order their marriage certificate (reference given previously) so that you can get their father's names to make it easier to find the right families in 1901 census. Kath. x

thanks heather just got the first cert with this surname on,so thought id see if any one could find anything recieved my step grandads second marriage cert and this was his wifes maiden name her dad was william tuffin and he was a die caster in b,ham the marriage was in 1966 angie x

Well, it would be best for you to use the information you have been given re births and apply for a birth certificate from GRO online (£7). This will give the parents names which will take you back before 1901 when you can start to trace them in the census information.

sorry just getting back to you thats a great help i would like ancestry info if there is any any census info to build on this family thank you angie x

There is this birth on Ancestry which could possibly be Rose's parents first child, but this would need checking, as no mother's maiden name is given in the index at this time. Name: George William Tuffin Year of Registration: 1909 Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun District: Birmingham (1837-1924) County: Warwickshire Volume: 6d Page: 169 Kath. x

This looks like Rose's parents marriage reference:- Name: George William Tuffin Year of Registration: 1908 Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec District: Birmingham (1837-1924) County: Warwickshire Volume: 6d Page: 155 The other person on the page is Ellen Hatton. Kath. x

This looks like Rose's birth reference:- Rose E. Tuffin, mother's maiden name Hatton March qtr. 1924, Birmingham, 6d, 363 Kath. x

Angela what info do you actually want - to find where they are now or for ancestors? If you are looking for living people you can put this message on the Trying to Find Board and do a search through the trees on here.
