Hi all, Is there any way I can put a name in and find siblings of that person please? I would be very grateful if there is a way. Ros

Not exactly, but if you can just enter the parents' names and see what comes up. Or, after finding the person you want siblings for, you can click on the batch number at the bottom of that page and then enter the surname or parents' names; this will give christenings at the same church in that batch which could include siblings. Hope that makes sense/helps! Liz

Yes there is a way. When you find the person you are looking for go to the bottom of the page and your will see a batch number click on that. When the form comes up on the pc put parents names in the right hand side(you will see the batch number is already filled in) and search then the siblings of that person should come up to. You can go to the area you are looking for and search the church and you will find all the family members that were baptised in that church and marriages if the church has the records. Good luck. If you get stuck give me the names and I will look for you. Irene

Thanks Elizabeth, Thanks Irene , unfortunately I don't know parents names. He is Charles Bullet married Mary Tweed 1822. Troston Suffolk. regards Ros

Hi Ros I did look for you. The church baptisms for Troston, Suffolk are not on IGI. Found the marriage again in Suffolk County Bits, other Bullet children to other parents listed there but not to Charles and Mary but they could have moved before they had any children. Could ask for a 1841 census check on GR. You may have a bit of luck and get one of the children's names. Good Luck Irene

Sorry all for butting in this thread, was just reading through. I never knew you could do that. Its true you learn a new thing every day Im gonna make a note of this info and try myself. Great lesley :~)

Hi I just put in on igi father and mother's name and a few results came up for troston have a look names are Mary anne,harriet,elizabeth and Susanna

Can I just add that although this works, the IGI isn't always accurate and you should try to get other proof of a relationship such as finding them on a census together or getting the birth details. When I did this for my Jones family it came up with an Abel Jones, right parents but I have not managed to confirm a link with my family yet as I have never seen him with the rest of the family. Hope this helps. Mel

Hi everyone. Many thanks for all your replies, will try everything. Ros

Whereas you don't exactly find siblings, if you know the parish you can enter a surname, and all those with the same batch number will appear. Its an excellent resource. http://*freepages*. genealogy. rootsweb. com/ ~hughwallis/ just delete the stars and gaps
