Hi Gerri,

Thanks for the brownie points, lol.

I thought it was the 1841 birth at first, then realised that that one wouldn't be on the 1841 census.

Of course they are free!!!! That's why I have going on for 100 of the things. It's frightening when you realise how much you've spent isn't it?

Kath....stop spending my money! lol

Damn! thats another 7 quid! Gotta get it havent I?

Hubby still thinks they are free....sssshhhh!

I have ordered certificates before when not sure of the page number and just put 23?

This could possibly be the son George's birth reference (it fits with his age on the 1841 census):-

Name: George Pool
Year of Registration: 1840
Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
District: Wolverhampton
County: Shropshire, Staffordshire, West Midlands
Volume: 17
Page: 323

You would need to give his father's name as a reference checking point to be sure it's the right one. This would give Jemima's maiden name.

PORT!

No wonder i couldnt find them!

Claire you get the brownie points and Kath you can treat yourself to a cuppa lol

Many many thanks girls....

I'm now trying to work out that date of death ref for Jemima 1851.
Looks to me....237...

How do you order a cert if the image isnt clear like this one?

Gerri x

For the future

I search the Pool* death for Wolverhampton 1856 +/- 5 years until I found one that fitted.

For the census, I took the most uncommon name that was unlikely to be misspelt (Daniel) & did a search of the 1841 census using just Daniel, Staffordshire & DOB 1835

I'm not surprised they were mistranscribed in 1841 - the image is barely legible!!!

Well I would spell it Jemima, but I suppose it could be any way they wanted to spell it - just to make it more difficult for you, lol.

Gerri x

I think it could be a mis-spelling of Jemima as Claire says. The first letter is very much like the first letter of the name George further down the page.

Kath. x

Hey!!!!! Claire in Wales! I think you got it!

Gemimah!!!!

Funny that cos my old Mum used to call me that as a nickname! lol

Trust the Welsh to fathom that one lol...many many thanks Claire

Could the 'G' be an 'S' do you think?

I think his occupation in 1851 is locksmith (master).
