Hi Thelma You can still order with checking points but relevant to the type of certificate applied for (birth, marriage or death) There are differing checking points for each type It is as I described previously When you go to the GRO site, log in and select "Place an Order" On the first page select the type of cert (in this case death) You can add the age at death if you wish to but its available on the next screen as well Lower down is a tick box for "Is the GRO Index Reference Number Known" (yes or no) It defaults to no but select no if its not already selected Enter the year of the event (they will search that year plus one either side of it) Click submit and you get a second screen which allows Surname of deceased Forenames of deceased Date of death (if known) otherwise enter 01/01/year Age at death (again) 0 for infants under a year Place of death or last known address Occupation of deceased Marital status There is no box to enter either parents or informants names, but parents names would only be recorded if an infant I am awaiting a reply from the GRO to see if that is possible or not now It may be that you have to email the GRO with a specific enquiry but will report back if and when they reply to my enquiry Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 23-Feb-17 4:16 PM, Thelma Wigley via DERBYSGEN wrote: > Sadly it seems no longer possible to add checking points when ordering a > certificate from the GRO, apart from the year, unless the event was within > the last 50 years.

Hi Joy, I've just been doing the same course (though still in week 5 as have had a busy couple of weeks!) Thought it was excellent and have lots of fresh ideas and websites to try. I think it was also thanks to a tip off from Nivard last year that pointed me towards it, so thank you, Nivard! I'd certainly recommend it to anyone else, whether a newbie to family history, or an old hand like myself!

Many thanks Nivard. I'm looking for an 1874 death certificate which I've been unable to trace anywhere. As it was almost certainly a death in childbirth and I have the child's birth certificate I know the address and husband's name. I think the surname on the death cert could have been entered as Edwards instead of Edmonds. I'll give it a try anyway. Thanks again. -----Original Message----- From: Nivard Ovington via DERBYSGEN Sent: Thursday, February 23, 2017 11:40 AM To: [email protected] Cc: Nivard Ovington Subject: Re: [DBY] GRO Hi Thelma Its a lot easier now When you go to the GRO site and select order a certificate there is a tick box for do you have the GRO index reference (or words to that effect) Do not select that and you then are offered the option to add checking points You pay for the certificate in the normal way £9.25 If they find a match you get the certificate, but if they don't you get a refund , so no real risk outside of the possibility that they find a certificate with matching points identical to yours which is rather unlikely Of course if you give a checking point of say brain surgeon and he/she is a doctor it may mean a rejection (if you see what I mean) Are you looking for a birth marriage or death ?

I seem to remember there used to be a facility whereby the GRO could be requested to check certain additional details on a certificate to ensure it was the correct one? If it was the wrong one you were charged a reduced fee and didn't get the certificate. I can't find this on their site now. Does anyone know whether this is still possible?

Annette & others When I get additions and corrections for the www.lynamhistory.uk <http://www.lynamhistory.uk/> site I make them immediately on my master database (in case I forget) but may not upload straightaway onto the web as I have not yet fathomed a way of uploading just an amended record. Currently I have to re-upload the whole data base of several thousand names which takes a good deal of time so I will upload at the end of each month if new stuff comes into the database. I hope to discover a better way. I am adding new information (non data-base) to the site almost on a daily basis. Currently adding Lynam wills and hoping to discover more WW1 Derbyshire Lynam soldiers. Great fun which will keep me in a chore-free zone for quite a while!

Hi again Joy, On further checking the Frearson Tree, there is a possible Thomas, son of my 6xG Grandfather Joseph Frearson b.1690 in Ockbrook, who was born in my records in about 1717/1718. However, the marriage of Thomas in 1755 suggests he was 25, and this born in about 1730 - so there is a 10 year discrepancy. However, there isn't much info on that Thomas - no 'obvious' marriage, no death - perhaps there is no record of the death - and perhaps 6xGG Joseph had another Thomas much later than son Stephen in 1725. I must recheck the Will etc for any Thomas clues etc. It would be good to sort it - I don't like the Butler line descending from an infant who died aged about 1 month!! Best etc John -----Original Message----- From: John Frearson Sent: Tuesday, 21 February, 2017 11:51 AM To: Derbyshire genealogy Cc: Joy Hungerford Subject: Re: [DBY] New website for LYNAM of Derbyshire Hi Joy, Yes indeed, at least one other has done work on the Frearson-Butler line. As I have it, the Joseph and Ann Butler relationship, with Joseph Butler Frearson b.30 Jan 1790, just after Joseph's marriage to Eliz Baggualey [26 Jan 1790]! This assumes that this is the same Joseph Frearson who later died in London, and this may not be as solid as some claim!! I have Joseph born either in 1857 in Ockbrook or Sept 1765. One Joseph was buried at a very early age. My thoughts are that Joseph was the son of Thomas Frearson, b.c.1730 prob in Ockbrook based on I recall various documents at Derby RO. However, I have not got a father for Thomas who married Mary Burrow. Some are happy to connect him with the main Ockbrook family, I'm not sure although there were other non-family connections with the Burrow family. Having done some DNA testing on the main Derbyshire Frearson family - lots more to do on the project - it would be interesting to test a Butler on the direct line. Whilst the DNA is a fairly common one, at least it might narrow the possibilities. It seems we are now allowed to mention DNA on this site - I nearly got thrown off for suggesting it some years ago!!

Bob, I'd suggest that baby Joseph was born to the Mary who died but not baptised until the February afterwards, so in 1747/8. Unless he was born-before-wedlock to John and the 2nd Mary. It's possible perhaps that other dates which seem wrong may have been transcribed wrongly because the years in the register are hard to make out. I often have this trouble, frequently have to go back and forth in the register trying to see where one year ends and the next begins - that's extra hard to do when unable to look at the register itself and having to use images of pages instead, online or on film/fiche or photos, as the transcribers may have done. Could be worth asking Notts Local Studies (at Central Library) or the Archives to check for you?

Thanks so much for creating the Lynam website. My name is James Linam, and I have been trying to find a link between my South Carolina Linam’s and their English homeland for 50 years now. I have focused on Derbyshire because of the many Lynams, but without any real evidence of a link. I joined DerbysGen a couple of years ago and narrowly missed contacting Valerie Jones. An Irish DNA authority checked my DNA and concluded that my genetic “homeland" was within 10 miles of Belper. This weekend, Ancestry.com <http://ancestry.com/> allowed open access to their UK files, and I have spent several hours looking at the Lynams in Derbyshire. There seem to be two centers in the 18th century: N. Wingfield and Duffield. Christian names are, for the most part, very similar to my family. However, I’m not looking for Quakers, and I know that some Derbyshire Quakers went to Philadelphia and the Delaware valley. My oldest ancestor in America was George Linam, born about 1746 (place unknown) and died in 1815. He owned a plantation in the upcountry (highlands) of South Carolina and was, thus, a slaveholder - anathema to the Quakers. If there are Lynams remaining in Derbyshire (including your wife), who may have any insight into Linam emigrants to the American colonies in the 1740s, I would very much like to correspond with them. Also, I have done some fairly extensive y-chromosome testing through FamilyTreeDNA and have a minority haplogroup: I-1a1b. The subclades are Nordic and suggest Viking, Norman or Anglo-Saxon ancestors. But that’s all much earlier than the link I’m looking for. Once again, thanks for the website. Best regards, Jim Linam

Congratulations Peter for getting it up and running, I’ve had a quick look and it all looks fine and easy to navigate!
