hiya Ian, if you post what details you KNOW is correct, then we can help you narrow it down somewhat, is why we are all here!! :)) I know how easy it is to get carried away, and believe me, i have done it, just dont like to leave things untidy, the best way is to start with info you have access to, ie, parents, marr cert/birth certs etc... it ISNT a cheap hobby, especially when you start buying certs, and or even wills and other stuff, then next, try and track them through census 1901-1841 you can search 1881 census for free on the LDS site www*familysearch*org replace * with dots however, it is always best i think, if you are new to this to say so, and people will then be more helpful, as often people tend to forget we were all new at some point, and baffle the new people with words/terms sometimes that they havent got a clue about, best bit of advice!! if in doubt ASK!!! always someone around to help!! Julie

Yes you can in Scotland through Scotlandspeople but it costs you credits. Terry

What information do you definitely have and where have you got it from? You seem to be giving 2 different birth years here for William? Dea x

Hi You are so right i must try to slow down a bit to make sure and to check all facts i just get carried away with this Genealogy i will have to spend more time on researching data kind regards Ian

Forget the one I posted before - it is more likely to be this one: William Hextall Age: 3 Mo Estimated Birth Year: abt 1850 Relation: Son Father's name: William Mother's name: Ann Gender: Male Where born: Swepstone, Leicestershire, England Civil parish: Swepstone County/Island: Leicestershire Country: England Registration district: Ashby De La Zouch Sub-registration district: Measham ED, institution, or vessel: 3a Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 9 Household Members: Name Age Ann Hextall 35 Emma Hextall 4 John Hextall 2 Thomas Hextall 5 William Hextall 35 William Hextall 3 Mo Dea x

hiya Ian, you just recieved what from where?? is the last entry from a census??? or is it from a marriage cert, or other info??? the reason I ask is, you cant say for sure this IS your family unless you have proof, ie, BMD certs and suchlike, and have tracked them from 1901, backwards, I'm not saying it isnt your family, but are you SURE you are on the right track?? just trying to make sure you dont spend alot of hours/time chasing wrong family, It has been done before, and no doubt will be done many many more times Julie

As people have pointed out - the one I posted above, from 1851 census MAY NOT be the correct one - Do you have any details of siblings etc? Dea x

Just recieved William 1816 MkBosworth and Ann Dawkins married 1842 Ashby, Leicestershire Children William c1/2/1851 Emma c 1847 John b 1849 Thomas Croshaw b1846 looks good now to find William 1816 parents Brill

There seem to be several Williams born around that time, and several deaths as shown on freebmd. Deaths Jun 1842 Hextall William Radford 15 431 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deaths Sep 1846 Hextall William Leicester 15 75 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deaths Dec 1851 Hextall William Mt Bosworth 15 117 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deaths Jun 1854 Hextall William Mt Bosworth 7a 41 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deaths Sep 1856 HEXTALL William Mt. Bosworth 7a 36 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deaths Sep 1863 HEXTALL William Henry Leicester 7a 139 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deaths Mar 1867 Hextall William Arthur 0 Leicester 7a 126 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Have you got your William's marriage cert.? That would tell you his father's name and ensure that you are tracing the correct person. Gwyn

hiya, seems to me that your new here, where did you get williams name from in first place??? did he marry?? do you know if he had brothers/sisters, this would help to track him on census, if you have any other info could you please post on thread, this would help greatly to aviod getting 'wrong william' julie

Hi thanks to all this site is brill. Ian

On 1851 census he is down as son of Samuel Broom Hextall + Ruth. Dea x

Ian Have you tried to find him on the 1851 Census.. ? Mo

You could look through parish records for his baptism. Gwynne

hiya, this looks to be his birth Name: William Hextall Year of Registration: 1848 Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec District: Market Bosworth County: Leicestershire Volume: 15 Page: 160 (click to see others on page) this is all you need to order his birth cert, will give parents names julie found another one Name: William Hextall Year of Registration: 1842 Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec District: Market Bosworth County: Leicestershire Volume: 15 Page: 164 (click to see others on page) julie

sorry yes it was for England,Is there any other way i can find fathers name details

Unfortunately NO The only way that you would be able to look at the Birth details is to actually purchase the certificate.. Either via the GRO Cost with reference is £7 OR The appropriate local Register Office References from 1837 online only refer to gro index and not to the local Reg Offices... cost £7 Mo

hiya, in short the answer is NO, i assume you mean in england, dont know about scotland though. sorry Julie do you have him on census returns?

if so were and for how much? i would like to trace the father name of William Hextall b 1845 MkBosworth, Leicestershire. Ian
