Anybody any ideas where to go next ? - I will outline below as I believe it appears clearer.

Ready to unstick but don't know where to go \!!!!!!!!

I am trying to find date of birth for William Henry Oliver born 1872/3. in Cornwall. Parents were Joseph Oliver and Mary Gay. I have William's death cert which states aged 64 died July 1937 and marriage cert states aged 20 when married Dec 1892. From census returns ages are: 1881 8 - born Wendron 1891 19 - born Wendron 1901 27 - born Helston All named districts next to each other. His elder twin sister were born Sithney 1864, family were at Crane in 1871 at census and Carnkie 1881/1891. Have tried certs for Redruth 71 5c 266 / Helston 71 5c 199 and Redruth 73 5c 246 - all not him, and also trawled through 1837 with no joy ( unless I missed it) I'd be glad of any suggestions thanks Ronnie ps sister Susan born Filtrick Carnkie 1877

Thanks Dea that is one of the ones I have tried, I am wondering if school records will help at all ( I see they have Carnkie School records at Cornwall Records office - and I do pop down there from time to time. Thanks Ronnie

veronica, if ;your stuck in a lift I can help you, if your stuck in the ladies loo, well I cant, sorry. lol TED. XX

Thanks Julie, I have seen that one and I may have to try that, but I have been concentrating on the geographical area, all the places in the census returns, birth/ death certs are centred around Carnkie/Wendron, ( I live nr Plymouth and have visited the area and poured over the local maps etc), although its entirely possible that Mary had William away from her home ie possibly at a relations. I must check on that , it may come down to sending for a few more certs in the end - Wiliam was my husbands great grandad and we know so much else about him, but I just wanted to tie up the birth date. thanks again Ronnie thanks also to Ted!!!

Veronica, Im always willing to help. lol. by the way, HAVE A HAPPY XMAS AND NEW YEAR. XX TED

Come on Ted, if shes stuck in the loo, couldnt you drag up like the 'ladies' in the kitchen roll ads?

Guys !! I'm stuck on this computer, but have just had a breakthrough with William's mum - Mary - found lots of gen on Familysearch so off to bed with a few printouts- how sad is that... Merry Christmas to you all too..... Ronnie
