Thank sam.....

You're welcome, it isn't obvious where to look on Ancestry for the various things, I don't mind helping out at all. If you have problems with the others I'll gladly have a look, off out at the mo though Good luck Sam

Thank you Smiley don't really understand where I'm going wrong when looking for Births,deaths & Marriages!!

Same again with Stasha Name: Stasha Mary Allen Death Year: [1990] Age: 69 Birth Date: 1 Jul 1921 Death Registration Month/Year: Oct 1990 Registration District: Plymouth Inferred County: Devon Inferred Country: England Birth... Sept quarter 1921 STASHA M GALE Mother's maiden name: WALSH District: Tavistock Vol: 5b Pg: 587 That's at least 2 that were born after 1920 Age at death for George is 47yrs in 1960, that makes him born in 1913 June quarter 1913 GEORGE GALE Mother's maiden name: WALSH District: TAVISTOCK Vol: 5b Pg: 606 These are all turning up quite easily, I'll let you look for the rest. The ones that died after 1984 will give you a DOB with the death reg on Ancestry. Then go to the Homepage scroll down to ''MORE COLLECTIONS'' Then click on ''England & Wales, BMD Index (Beta)''

Enoch was easy, his death reg gives you his date of birth. Name: Enoch Frederick Gale Death Year: [1989] Age: 65 Birth Date: 13 Nov 1923 Death Registration Month/Year: Jan 1989 Registration District: St Germans Inferred County: Cornwall Inferred Country: England No idea why you couldn't find him, I'm not convinced you're looking at the correct part of Ancestry. Have you been checking actual images? Dec quarter 1923 ENOCH F GALE mother's maiden name: WALSH Tavistock Vol: 5b Pg: 491

Hi Helen Thanks....at the time of these births many people used Tavistock, Devon for registering b,d or ms. Nowadays its usually St Germans/Saltash because its nearer to the parish of Calstock & they do an outreach here once every 2 weeks! If they die in hosp it would be Plymouth, Devon although I have looked both in Cornwall & Devon!!

Ok Jess thanks I have Patrick William Gale born approx 1935 (died in 1942 have death cert) George Gale not sure when born but died 1960 Richard John Gale Died 1986 Enoch Frederick Gale Died 1989 aged 65 (have ref no for death cert) Alfred Henry Gale Died 1986 Stasha Mary Gale Died 1990 Emily Margaret Gale No dates but died between 1989-1995 (died in Bristol) No 8 child is my gran whose certs I have...... I'm lucky in some repect as I can remember most of my g aunts & uncles & some I have some fantastic memories of... If you could give me a clue where to look I'd be really grateful Clare

Calstock is in Liskeard reg district, register office is: Liskeard Graylands, Dean Street, Liskeard, PL14 4AH. Tel: 01579 343442.

throw us the actual names & approx dates and the surname and lets have a look

Clare, the beta index link is down past the search box on ancestry.

They were all born in Harrowbarrow, Calstock or Gunnislake in Calstock Parish Cornwall. I'm looking for births, deaths 7 marriages as I have no info on any of them other than the 1 death I've found and a death cert we had at home Unfortunatly there is 8 of them but if I could find one I'm hoping to apply to local reg office for all of the births!

Are you looking for their births or their deaths?

Where were they born?

I really don't think so esp with names such as Enoch & Statsha!!

It depends what part of ancestry your looking at! They should be on the beta program but it may be mistranscribed!! If your doing a individual name search as you would for a census then your not likely to find them because it is not complete and it is only a copy of FreeBMD's records but they are a bit behind www.FreeBMD.org.uk has almost compeated transcribing up to 1910 so you could look on their or www.familyrelatives.org has fully transcribed 1866 to 1920 but it is a pay to veiw site.

Could the spelling be slightly different? I thought that spellings would be fixed by 1900 but some of mine varied. Heather

I have indeed ... confused though managed to find one of their deaths in 1989 but can't find his birth!!

Have you looked on the BMD Beta Index on Ancestry? Heather

Does anyone know why I can't find my g uncles & aunts on ancestory even though they were all born between 1900-1920 & their all dead?
