Hello Colin, A suggestion for going forward is to check the 1861 and 1871 Census for the children of Hugh and Helen. Then you could obtain the birth certificates for these children. To go backwards, you would need to check the respective parishes for the parents of Hugh and Helen to get their marriage dates and then go forward on the Parish Registers to find their other children. Hope you have a Family History Center near you to help you in your quest. Marion [email protected] wrote: > Hi everyone, > > Can anyone suggest a way forward (or backward).
