Hi. How do I find missng pages. I am searching for Margaret Goode who was born abt. 1915. I am trying to search the 1917 Beta but only two quarters come up... Thanks.

Hi Tom Try cheating!!!!!!! I have learned this as half of mine seem to be missing. Just tried with yours and the pages are there - try searching Good - without the 'e' on the end for the specific quarter ( eg Sept 1917) when the page comes up, at the top of the viewer is the option to go backwards and forwards a page - go forwards to the next page and there is a Margaret Goode on it - don't know if its the right one though!! Good hunting Looby

Hi Tom Bring up one of the other quarters then at the top click on the year. this should then bring up all quarters for that year. click on on you want to view then on letter of alphabet of surname....ie. C for say Carter. Unfortunately it starts from the bi egining of that letter so you will have to trawl thru the pages until you get to the name you want, or..... take a quess at the page number and go from there Jen

Thanks for that - I tried that but that page stops before Goode, but i found if you click on the next page it takes you there. Thanks.

Update - have now checked those two missing quarters. Nothing. I know that she was botn abt. 1915 because i have a wedding photo of my great grandparents marriage in 1925 - and the bridesmaid was his sister - and she is only young ( aged 9 - 12 probably.) But now I have checked all the years 1911 - 1920 and it can't be outside of this cos she is not older than 15 and neither is she younger than 5. Guess I;ll have to check all the Good's now.

Tom there is a Margaret Goode born in the sept quarter 1917 MMN Driscoll registered in Cardiff ref no:11a-736. Any good? Georgina.

Afraid not Georgina - thanks though. Mine had the mother's maiden name KERR. Probably born in the West Midlands somewhere. Maube Aston or Solihull.,

Hi Tom so the one in Sept Qtr 1917, Margaret Goode, mother Drissell, Cardiff Vol 11a, Page 736 isn't her? do you want to post what you do know - mothers maiden name if poss and anything else and I'll gladly have a look for you. Regards looby Whoops - sorry everyone else types quicker than me and had to answer the phone - will see what I can find Tom LOLOL

Tom do you have the parents marriage? looby

Thanks - all I know is that she was Margaret Goode - never married but had 2 or 3 children. Mother's maiden name : KERR Probably born in the West Midland's reg district probably Solihull or Aston. Her brother was born in 1907 in Solihull (Thomas Arthur Goode) and the parents married in Aston in 1907. Parents were Sydney Arthur Goode (born 1881) and Florence Georgina Gordon Kerr (Born 1879) Thanks.

Tom there is a Margaret Goode Mother maiden name of Stones born Solihull Dec qtr 1991 any good (no pun intended) Jen

No i'm afraid not - thanks for looking though. Her mother's maiden name was Kerr,

sorry that was meant to be 1911. Only ask because that quarter comes up as missing and wasn't sure you had checked it

Tom there is a birth for a Margaret Goode in Solihull but it looks like her MMN is Stones. Births Dec 1911 Goode Margaret Stones Solihull 6d 1151 Georgina.

from where has the info that her MMn was Kerr come from?

I have done a search on Family Relatives Q3 1911-1920 inc. I looked for children surname beginning with Good with mothers maiden name beginning with Kerr. Here are the results. As none look remotely like the right person and there are no other children with the Goode Kerr combination, was she the youngest?? Can you be sure she had the same mum as the other siblings? No Surname Forename(s) Mothers maiden name District Page No Event Quarter Year 1 Goodaker Hilda J Kerr Hammersmith.1a 213 Birth 1 1919 2 Goodaker Margaret B Kerr Fulham.1a 340 Birth 4 1912 3 Goodaker Richard T K Kerr Fulham.1a 337 Birth 2 1915 4 Gooday John H B Kerr West Ham.4a 894 Birth 4 1911 5 Gooding Adeline G Kerr Wandsworth.1d 1212 Birth 3 1913 6 Goodman Irene F M Kerry Pancras.1b 199 Birth 2 1916 7 Goodwin James Kerr Birkenhead.8a 876 Birth 4 1919 8 Goodwin John T Kerr Barrow In Furness.8e 1134 Birth 4 1916 Merry

Sorry I missed you all - just being doing some jobs at my Grandmother's. I know that her mother's maiden name was Kerr becuase I have the parents marriage certificate and my grandmother remembered the names of her grandparents. My grandmothr has only one memory of F G G Kerr and that is being chased around the kitchen table when she was six - so abt. 1945. This means that F G G Kerr didn't die - so will be the mother of the Margaret. They only had the two children Thomas Arthur and Margaret. (from what my grandmother has told me)

Just a thought Tom Would Margarets mother have Scottish origins? (Gordon Kerr) If you can't find Margaret maybe the mother went home for a visit and had her there? If all else fails try Scotlands People Jen

Well - there were Scottish origins but its compliceted. I'll have a look. Thanks for the suggestion.

Unfortunateley the site only goes up to 1905.
