    Birth search @ the registry office

    ...Two years if given the Christian name For just a Surname; ".......undertake this as a general search for which the charge for the two years you mention would be at least £126 plus £7 for each correct entry found." If only we could get in and search ourselves, eh?

    Birth search @ the registry office

    I'm trying to find my wifes Aunts & Uncles born before 1912. Without being able to use her Grandmothers surname to narrow down the search, I could be looking at an average of three names per quarter that could be possible Aunts/Uncles (apart from the obvious gaps between births). She informs...

    Things you said when you was a kid

    Is that rhyme just local to Birmingham? Never heard outside of.... & very rare here. We can still stay up... "It's in our own hands" as the saying goes. The remaining fixtures, albeit 2 - 3, are winnable. We're definately due a win against the 'Clayheads.' BAGGIES!!!

    Things you said when you was a kid

    Not so much a saying, but a verse... Anyone heard this before? Ginger nut, fell in the cut, & frightened all the fishes, a fish came up, swallowed him up, & that was the end of ginger nut. My wife is 7yrs older than me (mmmm!!!) & had never heard it till i said it a short while back...

    Where do i go now?

    Hi Pom.... I've got all those, but just discussing it has brought other things to mind.... My Mother (died 1993) was sure he (Joe) was born between Leah 1917, & Bernard 1921. I'm going to get some more certificates just to eliminate or confirm things....... Even if Joe was born earlier or later...

    My father is the eldest of seven,... I've found all the births of the others apart from one. I've looked 10yrs either side of his supposed Birth day,... I can't find his marriage certificate either (no brides surname),... I can't find the births of his 5 children either. I'm guessing he may have...
