Dot ,i have at last found Allen Beevers!After yet another blind search i found that his name was transcrbed incorrectly as Beeveur.I have used soundex so many times without any luck.So i've just come in from the pub and thought i'd have another go,now i can at least get his birth certificate and find where his father came from.Thanks again for your help and interest.Polly

That's brilliant Polly, it is the price we pay for this Government seconding the applicants from the YTS scheme in the 1980s into transcribing the census ( I kid you not!) hope it moves you on in your research polly.

Actually by 'this Government' I meant the British Government not the Labour Party lol

Was John Williams's father William Beevers born 1841 in Mexborough? He was a Waterman.....also William,s father John Beevers born 1815 Mexborough was a Waterman......

Are birth certs public property? Y then do passport/DVLA/Insurances ask me to supply mine?

[craft1948]

you can buy a copy of any birth certificate on-line for £7.00 tambo...

[tamborine]

omg....crafty - does that apply to marriage certs etc. Would I be informed of such transactions?

[craft1948]

No you wouldn't be informed .......doing my genealogy I currently have approx 100 certificates......and you don't have to say why you want them or prove any relationship....

[craft1948]

having said that I've never applied for a certficate for anyone who is still alive.....

[tamborine]

ffs....will be deported now OH has passed as am not a citizen!

[ummmm]

What?

Tambo, Are you an illegal immigrant. ?

[Polly1958]

Hi Craft,He was a possibility but tracing through the census records shows he married but not to my Gt Grandmother,there was another one in Cowick too,so unless he was a bigamist he wasn,t that one either!The most likely one was born in Hull, i 1864 but there is no record of him in 1871.I have his marriage certificate,he married my Gt Grandmother in 1888 in Scarborough.Thanks Polly

Hi Polly
Well there are a few people with trees on ancestry who have jumped to the wrong conclusion then......
