Would anybody have any suggestions as to how one would find the date of birth of somebody with only a name to go by, tricky eh? |

There must be a clue. For example approximately 3 generations on average spanned a century. If you are looking for X's mother you can work out from X's birthday that her mother wa in her fertile years, say between 16 and 40. This means that you have already narrowed the search to a 24 year period. You also have the chance of finding her on a Census which not only may give you her age, but also her place of birth. If you want to give more details I will put the thinking cap on. |

Wendy, You could try and find a death record for them if you know the area and the name isn't that common. Crista |

If you find them on a census it will give their age and place of birth you could wade through the birth indexes at Islington or try freebmd etc. By the way I am trying to trace how a John Faiers from old Newton in suffolk is related to my Potters- any links? |
