Marge: For some samples of what you might expect take a look at some of the ancestor biographies on my website at http://www.kenscott.com That of Moses Good shows an extract from a marriage in 1849 as ordered from the record office; that of William Scott b. 1833 (family life link) shows a image of the original from 1875. Yes, the actual documents do provide a variety of additional information. In the case of Moses Good this provided us with confirmation that he was indeed the son of a John Good who had been a weaver in Barnstaple at the time of the birth of Moses in 1788; without this we had only been able to surmise.

My question is, if I order the certificates, will they have any more information than what is listed on Ancestry.com?? For example, the births do not give the actual date, just the year and the quarter the birth was recorded in.? Will the actual record give me the actual day, and month? And will it give me the names of the parents?? I am talking about births in the 1835-50 time frame.? And would the marriage records, in the time frame of 1867-1880 give me the parents names?? > > And another question, I woman is listed in the 1871 census as being born in Odiham, Hampshire, England, yet when I put that info in the search criteria, no names will come up for Odiham.? Is there another name of the town that might have the births for the town of Odiahm? > > By the way, the names I am researching are William Milward, born ca. 1835 in Henley, Oxfordshire (parents most likely are Henry and Ann Milward from the same town) and Fanny (listed on one census in the US as Phyllis), born ca. 1848 in Odiham, Hampshire, Parents unknown.? William and?Fanny had 4 children, 3 who lived to adulthood.? They are Edith A, Maurice W. (who were both born in Basingstoke, Hampshire) and their youngest son Frank, who was born in Michigan, United States.? I believe William and Fanny immigrated to the US in 1873.? > > Thank you so much for any help you can give me, > Marge > ________________________________________________________________________ > More new features than ever.
