Hi, this is a long shot but I am currently working on my partners family tree who is on a budget and I am wondering if there is any way I could name the parents of Selina Copeland born 1916 Tunstall, without having to purchase her birth certificate. If it of any help, she married George Elms in 1934. |

Her birth reg will give her mothers surname than you can trace marriages with that combination of names |

well you could look for her birth on FreeBMD, the mothre's maiden name would be recorded at that time |

Thanks that is a great idea, however I have just tried looking for her on Genes and freeBMD however, I can't find a record of her. I am only able to find one of Staffordshire BMD but that does not allow for this feature. I'll keep trying. |

Janette I'd be interested to know where you got that marriage as it doesn't match up with one on Ancestry or FreeBMD, |
