Viv, you are brilliant, many many thanks. Will certainly invest the £7 sometime and will then let you know how I've got on.

Re 'Small world' -- I am sure my Boxall's came from the London area, then moved to the Cotswolds and then to Sanquhar, Scotland where grandad Boxall died. He married a Winifred, his second wife.

Regards and best wishes
Sue

Hello susan.

No ,you need to apply for the certs here.

www.gro.gov.uk

That obviously is online at £7 per cert,with the refs that you have from this thread,that we have posted for you.
You will need to register etc,and on the online order form it will ask if you know the GRO refs,tick the yes box.
Do not ever go elsewhere for certs online as that is the OFFICIAL goverment site and 3rd parties will rip you off .

They take between 5 to 7 days to arrive by post.

You can apply to Bristol reg office,but they may charge more ,and take much longer to respond.


Just to add that I did a friends small potted history as a birthday pressie last year and they were Boxalls from Hackney London.

Smallworld with uncommon surnames !

Viv

Many thanks again for your research and help. It does look like much more research needs to be done on my behalf. Regarding the £7 fee, would that be with Bristol Register Office?

Regards

Many thanks Carolyn

The Cook surname does ring the faintest of bells as some years ago I attempted to trace my mother's family but have since lost all details. The Cook surname only came to light as a result of this previous attempted trace.
I know it's all very vague.

After looking at everything ,I think this may be Evelyns birth,but you will only know if it comes back with Mary as a middle name.

Lang Evelyn M Turner Chesterfield 7b 1399


After that you will need to cross reference it with the marriage of Evelyn M Lang in Bristol (which you will also have to invest £7 in )to see if they have the same father.

Have pm'd a possible daughter (1937) of Evelyn if the marriage is correct.

Hi Viv and Lesley
Did Evelyn bring Jean up -- No she didn't, Jean was allegedly put up for adoption through a doctor, the adoptive parents' s surname being Boxall.
Evelyn's middle name I believe was Mary, Jean was sometimes referred to as Jean Mary.
As far as I know, Evelyn did marry after Jean's birth.

Many thanks for your help

There is no birth of an Evelyn Lang in Bristol of about the right age that I can see.

Did Evelyn bring Jean up,
did Evelyn have a middle name.
and do you know if she married after the birth of Jean?
