It will be if he is in the end column recorded as the registrar! My rellie as one for over 40 years in an area where a lot of my family lived, but I have yet to get a cert with him on it! Merry |

Hi Merry, This chap is Norfolk area,but Norfolk RO seem reluctant to answer the phone this week,i know they don't take platic as payment,and i get the feeling they would be 2006 handwriting anyhow. I'm not sure if i dare even order one,i think i need a serious chat with this man. Now where did i put Derek Acorahas' phone number........ Glen |

LOL! Mine worked in the Bristol area. One day I phoned Barton Regis Office about a birth cert and whilst I was talking I said, ''I bet when I order this cert it will be another one that isn't signed by my rellie, Frederick Hunt''.....The registrar said ''Oh I see his name a lot....I will see if we have anything about him''. A few days later the cert arrived (sig of a different reg, as usual) and along with it was a photocopy of a newspaper cutting from the local paper dated 1932, with a photo of my rellie at his retirement presentation!!!! Local registrars can be helpful in lots of ways! Merry |

That must have been quite a thing to receive, John is my man and his folks had 250+ acres of land and twelve servants back in the 1861. I now have a sub to ancestry,that Gresham/Chambers do turned out quite interesting by the way. The next street is called Gresham St,and that is where Martha turned up 10 years later. I can tie 90 years of the family movements through birth certs and census to three adjacent streets in Lincoln. Shame no-one else seems to be looking at the Norfolk mob,i have 6 sibs all having six to eight kids each and using about 6 christian names for everyone. All good clean fun. |
