    1921 Census look-up please...

    Hello Janice - I do have the old password but they now request that a password should contain numbers/ a capital letter etc etc. So the old password will not be accepted ( I think this was one of the reasons I chose to move to Ancestry). Skylark.

    1921 Census look-up please...

    Me again - no luck with FMP - I tried to register but was "told" that my email address was already registered (of course it was due to me having a subscription many years ago) - any ideas as to how I can progress any further to access the free search?? Regards. Skylark.

    St Matthias Birmingham : Marriage Lookup PLEASE...

    Thanks for looking Janice. Lily was B'ham girl through & through, so not sure that she would have gone "orf" to London. Maybe I should be looking for a death for Lily Ashford...more midnight oil burning... Skylark.

    St Matthias Birmingham : Marriage Lookup PLEASE...

    Many thanks for this info - I really appreciate you taking the time to help me. I will double check all the info I have about Lily Annie - the name given for her Father is correct - but - he was a wire drawer not greengrocer !! Who said family research was easy ? (Not Me). Have a nice Christmas...

    St Matthias Birmingham : Marriage Lookup PLEASE...

    Seasonal Greetings: Does anyone have any access to St Matthias Church Marriage records? If so - I would be really grateful if they could look up a Sept Qtr1920 marriage between: Lily A Ashford and George Henry Howard. This info might be the answer to a long standing family mystery. Many Thanks...
