Use freebmd to find BMD info..................

What other info do you hope for?

There are two Sheridan/Podger births on freebmd.

Unless anyone on GR is researching these people, you are unlikely to find anyone who 'knows' them using the boards

Look in 'search all trees'

Hi Emma

Welcome to GR and the boards

Bless her, it looks as if the first baby, Reggie saw on freeBMD died soon after birth

Barbara x

thank you both, Reggie and Barbara for you help and advice with the information you gave me Barbara and the advice from you Reggie i have been able to trace back to late 1700's.

I'm still searching :-D

Do you mean that you are searching for information specifically about Violet, or about her ancestors?
Have you contacted people who have her ancestors in their trees on here?
Thanks

Hi, i was trying to find out about violet and her husband.

In what way?

And which husband?

This one?

Marriages Mar 1946 (>99%)
Podger Violet F Sheridan Essex S.W. 4a 584
Sheridan Thomas C Podger Essex S.W. 4a 584

Have you got the marriage certificate of Violet and Thomas Sheridan, so that we have extra information about him?
Thanks

Added:
Do you know if this is his death?
Thomas Charles Sheridan
Birth Date: 2 Feb 1924
Date of Registration: Mar 1986
Age at Death: 62
Registration District: Redbridge
Inferred County: Essex
Volume: 14
Page: 1762

hi again, no i haven't a marriage certificate but that is the marriage, i don't believe that is his death as his name was thomas colin sheridan

What are you .looking for?

Please be specific..............

Sheridan wasn't born in England/Wales

He MAY have re-married

You can see that info yourself by looking on freebmd

Who told you that Sheridan's second forename was COLIN?

I think you need to get both marriage certificates if you want to find out about her.
Thomas Sheridan could still be alive, or died recently - or was it his death that resulted in the marriage to your grandfather?
Have you talked to your aunts/uncles for information about Violet?
Do you know if he could have been from Scotland, as we cannot see an obvious birth in England/Wales for him under Thomas C?
Thank-you

Or could he have been a Canadian/American serviceman who went back home?

aunts and uncles have all passed which is making it harder as there id noone to give much info from back then, i know his name as he was on the their baby who died bith certificate. i believe he was born in scotland

In that case you will need to use Scotlandspeople to find his birth which is a pay to view site

You would do well to get the marriage cert..............

..........it will tell you how old he said he was.........and his father's details (if he knew them)
