Do you know when and where George died Alan?

ErikaH

ErikaH Report 13 May 2014 15:33

Alan

You were almost certainly six years 'out' with Bertha's birth, so I suggest you invest in the marriage cert, and get factual info

MarieCeleste

MarieCeleste Report 13 May 2014 15:34

Alan, have you checked their births on FreeBMD? http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

Reggie - it just needs to show where they're living and then it'll be fixed.

EDIT, having said that, if you c& p from the print page it does give ALL the info
