Hi Bernie, So, the 1901 entry would be a great help, showing the children that belonged to the family. I presume you have looked on Lancashirebmd list. I still need to check which folios are missing on the CDs. A thought, - has anyone on the list got an Addenda for 1901 from the firm that sells the CDs. I have an Addenda for 3 of the other years. Olive

Hi Bernie As Jackie has found the census entry I will check on the folio numbers and check them against the CDs. There were a few blank pages and I need to find exactly which they are before I contact the makers of the CDs. Olive

Bernie Winifred Melling born Fylde Dec Qtr 1902 8e 622 is included on the GRO records, the certificate for this will be available from them or from the new Preston Office. Maybe GRO is a better choice from Canada. Olive

PS To Bernie of Ottawa, Cananda Winifred Melling was born Fylde, Dec Qtr 1902 - 8e 622; and you are correct there is no recorded image for this entry. Perhaps, therefore, the recorded family I sent earlier, does not connect. The last known child (Frederick) of this John Melling was born in 1888, leaving a gap of 14 years to Winifred born in 1902! It would be wise therefore to order the birth certificate of Winifred, if you do not already have it. Lostock

Hi Olive, Thank you for the lookup. I have already contacted Blackpool Central Library. They do not have the 1901 Census on fiche. I have also contacted the LRO at Preston by email, but as yet they have not replied. I suspect that the pages are missing altogether, but thank you again.

Hello Bernie I have just looked on the 1901 CD set that I have. Highfield Road is not listed, Bensons Lane covers just a few houses, no one named Melling. However, when I start to search Lytham Road there are blank folios for this area. I suggest that you contact Blackpool Central Library and ask for their assistance. central.library@blackpool.gov.uk It looks like I shall have to report another error on the CDs and ask for replacements. Olive

Hi Bernie Have you tried looking at the National Archives 1901 index? http://www.1901census.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ You can search the index for free and pay per view if you find the right one.

Hello Jackie There is no MI for Ernest in either Layton or Carleton Municipal cemeteries. You could contact the office, the office covers both cemeteries, in case he is buried without a headstone. Or you could also try Park cemetery at Lytham. I am not sure when this opened. Carleton crematorium@blackpool.go.uk tel 01253 882541 fax 01253 899011 Park Cemetery Lytham 01253 735429 cemcrem@fylde.gov.uk The only other help I can give is to email Blackpool Central Library and ask if there is an obit in the newspapers. Good luck Olive

Hello again to all on the list, I have been quietly researching away and have come back to my Blackpool ancestor's again to make some further headway. One moved to Durham & then died in North Yorks & its amazing what you learn about a place when you have a genuine interest! I am requesting a MI lookup for Ernest SWIFT who died 4th April 1974 at Wesham Park Hospital. His address was given as 46 Broughton Avenue, Layton. His daughter was the informant & her name was Clara WHITEHEAD. Thanks, now back to the Christmas present list that I am suppose to be doing (so thinks my husband!) Why do these certificates arrive whenever you have loads to do!! Jackie in Southampton

Hi Bernie Can you send more details of John. Do you have a street name, or an area of Blackpool? I wonder if the information would be on the 1901 CDs. Maybe you can send more information please? Olive
