I have just got my dads birth cert through and it names his mothers maiden name as SOIKES. I am trying to find his parents marriage but keep drawing a blank on his mums name. Could it have been misinterpreted? Bernie

If you give you your dad's full name here and the district he was born, I'll have a look on 1837online and see wht it gives as mother's maiden name. Kath. x

There is nothing coming up for that surname on Ancestry or FreeBMD, is the writing bad? Perhaps you cannot see it properly Sam

Bernie Report 19 Feb 2005 23:01

On my dads birth cert it def says Soikes, its driving me nuts because I can't find his mums marriage to Jacob Silverman. I have been right back to 1905.

KathleenBell

KathleenBell Report 19 Feb 2005 23:01

It definitely looks like Soikes in the index on 1837online. Kath. x

Peter

Peter Report 19 Feb 2005 23:02

could the name be STOKES

Bernie

Bernie Report 19 Feb 2005 23:02

I know Kath, do you think it has been changed?

Smiley

Smiley Report 19 Feb 2005 23:04

I've found the surnames on Google,they are both Jewish names, does that sound correct? Sam

Bernie

Bernie Report 19 Feb 2005 23:06

Stokes sounds a possibility, why is it soikes on my dads birth cert then? Surely that would have been noticed.

Bernie

Bernie Report 19 Feb 2005 23:08

Thanks for all your help guys, gonna go and look on 1837 and see if I can tie up stokes and silverman for a marriage.

KathleenBell Report 19 Feb 2005 23:08

What is your grandads name. There are quite a lot of Sivermans on Ancestry. Do you know if your dad was the eldest child or were there others before him (just to narrow down the date for a marriage). Kath. x

I hope I haven't offended you. They may not have married in this country, that's all Sam

Peter

Peter Report 19 Feb 2005 23:10

I just put SOIKES in search and there were sevrle proper names come up, Lowel Soikes was one so it dose exsist as a proper name.

Bernie

Bernie Report 19 Feb 2005 23:24

No you haven't offended me Sammy, I am grateful for the help. My grandads name was jacob.

Bernie

Bernie Report 19 Feb 2005 23:32

Thanks so much, i also found this one Silverman Jacob, 1c 728 Mile End JAS 1905. How do I check who he married? I am a newbie at all this.

Bernie

Bernie Report 19 Feb 2005 23:41

Thks for all your replies, it helps to know that there are peeps out there who know what they ae doing!!!

Smiley

Smiley Report 20 Feb 2005 12:44

I checked that marriage Bernice, it was not to a Soikes. You can only cross reference on 1837 online, IF you know the partners surname, the alternative is to order the certificate. Sam
