    3. Hello all. Just wanted to share with you guys that after many long years of not knowing my paternal grandmother's line I have now have information. Thanks to a lady who is researching JONES family sent me the Free BMD of my grandmother's birth. Thank heaven that she had an usual forenames as her surname was JONES. Thanks to one of the helpful pers on our list (Howard), I was able to go online and order my grandmother's birth ceritificate. When I had her birth certificate I emailed back the lady that sent me the information in person who in turn found my grandmother's parents marriage and sent me all the censuses from 1871 to 1891. I have now sent for my great-grandparent's marriage certificate and should be able to track this family even further thanks to the earlier censuses where my great-grandfather was living with his parents. I will be checking the 1901 census and hope to be able to finally locate my grandparent's marriage. Well, that's all I just wanted to let everyone know that sometimes when you think that you will never find that elusive family member or a particular branch of your family that miracles can happen and just when you don't expect them. Cheers, Donna
