Thank you Keith, I will further investigate. I am not completely sure on how to use FreeReg, but I do refer to it and then to Familysearch.org to get more information. My Maude, immigrated to Canada in 1913 - apparently very pregnant at the time with my grandmother. he married Allen Simmons and 6 to 8 months later gave birth to my grandmother in Quebec, Canada. As she was the middle child, based upon your information below, it seems that the old 2 and younger 2 stayed in England. I also have issue with find my past. I do better with ancestry and family search. Thank you for all your help. I greatly appreciate it. Cheers, Jennifer R.

Maude Taylor of Griston In response to Rosie's message, FreeBMD has only one Maud(e) TAYLOR or TAILOR born in Wayland registration district between 1875 and 1895. Not absolutely certain but well over 90% confidence it is the one that relates to the James TAYLOR family for both the 1901 and 1911 entries that Rosie has found. The reason I could not find these entries is I was using Find my past and having to search on current location because I have not found a way of using Find my past to search on birth location. I was also time limited, as I was using this in the local library and had some of my own research to do as well. So I was not making a statement that they were not there at all. One strategy is to identify all the other possible candidates born at the same time and eliminate them. In FreeBMD, there are 11 Maud(e) TAYLOR or TAILOR born in Norfolk between 1880 and 1890 so if you are being careful you might want to see if all these are elsewhere in 1901 and 1911 (or died before then). There are a further 22 where Maud is the middle name, but none from Wayland registration district. (This analysis does not cater for entries missing from FreeBMD, or from the original GRO indexes). Family search does allow search on birth location, but does not allow access to the actual census entries. It will however allow to identify claimed parish of birth against current location, so given appropriate access, you should be able to cross check most of these in a couple of hours. Finally, in regard to my previous mail, I am satisfied that the older two children I have found married in the 1911 census are the correct marriages. I am reasonably certain for the younger two that I have found the correct marriage, but you should find one more data point for each for correlation before being certain (e.g. the actual marriage certificate, correlation of birth date with some other record, or mention of married surname in a probate record). I have not done any checking in freereg because from your original mail, it looked like you had already done that. regards Keith Drage Swindon UK On 19-Mar-16 7:58 AM, xpn11 via wrote: > Just a follow up to Keith's mail.
