The only way to find the information is to buy the certificates or use the information from the censuses and cross reference them with the entries on the GRO indexes. Post 1912 you get the mother's maiden name and the spouse's surname so it's possible to find which children belonged to which parents and who married who. FreeBMD also helps in that respect. You just don't get the actual place or date. www.freebmd.org.uk has a system of Postems whereby people add information from certificates or parish registers to entries but there's only a small percentage of index entries that have these at the moment.

There is also another website which can be extremely useful in accessing records, which is UKBMD. This comprises records from the local registrars' offices, as opposed to the GRO, and the Yorkshire section of this is at..... http://www.yorkshirebmd.info/ Here you will find entries for births, marriages and deaths from a number of Yorkshire registration districts. These can be very helpful in cases such as marriages where at FreeBMD you get four or even eight names on a page and you don't know who married who. The Yorkshire BMD site MAY give you the answer! -- Roy Stockdill Editor, Journal of One-Name Studies Guild of One-Name Studies website: www.one-name.org Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."
