Thanks Chris....I knew I wasnt nuts!

That link was amazing...what sites do you all go on to get all this information...I only use FREEBMD and Genes reunited... I think I should subscribe to something more decent...I've spent all day on the laptop going round in circles, paying out for certificates and having to wait a week at a time before I recieve them, and you guys come with stuff so easily .

Chris :)

Thank you you all for taking the time to search for me... I dont know why, but I keep getting this nagging feeling that I may be going down the wrong family tree, everything was matching up from my research working from 1956 backwards to 1877 GEORGE HALL born St PANCRAS, I ordered the certificate and everything is leading me to all of above... but noticed it stated his father as just Henry Hall- it should really say Thomas Henry Hall, but I ignored it, thinking sometimes they drop a name... I think the best thing is for me to order the other George Hall birth certificate Pancras 1876 and see if the Father's name comes up THOMAS HENRY HALL, If it doesnt, then I know all of the above is correct after all.
I hope it is or I've wasted money on the last 3 certificates! xxx fingers crossed..I will add on here when I get the information xx

Flip............I hope not :-0

Now, I havent gone nuts!

The father who's name is not the same as the marraige record, is a night porter, railway

Maybe he didnt know his name or there was a mistake on the marriage entry?

Where have you arrived at the father's age as being born around 1825?? Have you anything to back this up?

Yes according to the marriage (assuming it is the right marriage) he was a railway porter, but obviously his age is not given, so he could be much older if Henry was the youngest of a large family.

Added: Hi Gins are there other threads on this?

I think there has been been a lot of trying to find him, with no luck

He may not have known his father and made up a name! I think this is him

Thankyou Gins... I was rather hoping that Henry could be found with his Father James in some of the census's (1851 and 1861) first, before i purchase another certificate :-(

My only clues are Father James being a RAILWAY PORTER born abt 1825 which would make him aged abt 26yrs in an 1851 census and Henry abt 9 yrs old and James in the 1861 census abt 36yrs and Henry abt 19yrs

Henry being born 1842 (later his occupations buthcher/meat carrier
placing them around St Pancras and Marylebone

Someone has this as his birth (Tree)


Births Dec 1842 (>99%)

The certificate should give you his parents names

I believe that the 1871 is the correct one, Henry was born in st pancras.

Could you confirm whether the 1871 census is the right person - there are rather a lot of Halls around. You may be trying to get back from him, but in order to do this we need to know where he was from - could have been born anywhere!

Unfortunately I have no idea Gins...

Linda

Do you know if Henry had any brothers and sisters?

ps...Its Henry's parents info that I need, to help me with getting the right family x
:-S

Yes Andrew...not so much about Henry, I need to find out more about his father James and his wife from the 1851 and 1861 census....thankyou, cant believe you got that info so quick (took me a week )
