He-he ... yes, you're right! Don't know where "Brown" came from. I need to take a break before I check the sites! Thank-you, much appreciated.

Are you getting your colours mixed up? :-D

Marriages Mar 1913 (>99%)
White John P Wilson Driffield 9d 603
Wilson Emily A White Driffield 9d 603

As long as Wilson was her maiden name, search on http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl
for births in a suitable time scale with surname White, mothers maiden name Wilson.

"The district Driffield is in the county of East Riding of Yorkshire" so start off with that registration district then widen your search.

There is one - we'll let you find the name. Then check on http://www.yorkshirebmd.org.uk/cgi/birthind.cgi?county=yorkshire
to see if you can narrow down the search to the local registration district.

Great info. I'm being really cheeky taking your time but I've been looking to see if John Parker White re-married?? I found a marriage for a John Parker Brown to Emily Wilson in 1913. Is it possible to see if there were any children if I'm right with this? Thank you so much!

think it would be a good idea to get the certificate, that way you will know who her parents were. With a name like White it could prove difficult otherwise.

I'm trying to find information on Olive Prideau White, born 1904. Birth recorded as Guisborough District, Yorkshire, but no mother's maiden name on record. Found her in the 1911 census as living with Uncle/Aunt. That's all I know. Will I have to send for her birth cert or does anyone have any ideas? Thanks
