Another oddity i've come across whilst searching for my great grandmother is that i've found her in the census of 1881,1891 and 1901 her age and father match all 3 but she has 3 different people listed as "mother" the 1881 census i'm assuming its her real mother as she is 1 then and her mother is listed as being 31. In the 1891 census she is 11 but the woman listed as her mother is 24! and in the 1901 census she is 21 but her mother agian different woman is listed as 35! Whats going on there i wonder?
....

remarriage after the first census I'd assume - I'm not sure if the term was in use generally, but "step" definitely doesn't get used on censuses

3 wives in 30 years the dirty old buggar

You can look between 1881 and 1891 for her mothers death.

From a research point of view it's the least useful certificate to get - but from a more general point of view it can be really interesting.

Interesting in what way?

Could be a middle name.

You have a 10 year window each time - you can look for his marriage.

And divorce is very unlikely - so for each remarriage there is very likely to be a death.

If it was something 'juicy' they died from

There is some information about location and who reported it for example - but mainly a tragic accident or a horrific murder most horrid would make a great story

Bit of scandal would be good!

is this the site for certificates: http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/

Trying to order but slight stumbling block is i don't know the full date only that it was march 1903. i put this in but it says it wants dd/mm/yyyy?

Also they were married in the district of foleshill so is there any where i can go to view the marriage details?

[Jon MW]

ffs - can't believe I have to do some actual work. It's Friday for crying out loud.

Thanks mate you've been a star, anything i can do for you don't hesitate to ask.

[pokefast]

May have asked this before but i'm very tired and alittle confused!!

On a birth certificate does it have the mothers maiden name?

I don't really know what you're looking at there

There's more than one church in this district so unless you had any other reason to believe it's a specific one then the certificate is easier.

yes

[pokefast]

On the certificate website,on the bit where you fill in the details of the certificate you want,it asks for date of marriage in dd/mm/yyyy. I only know the month and year ( march 1903 ) so i tried with 00/03/1903 then just 03/1903 then march 1903 but each time it kept returning me to the details of certificate page with a warning in red " the date for the event is a required field " arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggghhhh!!. Think i'll give them a ring on monday.

Another daft question,as i don't know much about this ( can you tell?  ) Can i go to any register office and order a certificate,or do i need to go to the district the event was registered in?

Reason i ask is i also think i need my grandmothers birth certificate because i'm having conflicting reports as to her mothers maiden name and need to clarify.
