I am trying to find the father's name regarding the following birth/christening. Ethel M. BURWELL (or SHAW) at Balby in 1870/71. In the 1871 census the mother gave her own name as Jane BURWELL and her daughter's as Ethel M. BURWELL. The mother's maiden name, however, was Sarah Jane SHAW and she used this name again in 1872 when she married at Yarmouth As a result, it is possible that Ethel was registered as Ethel M. SHAW (rather than BURWELL) in 1870/71. I have not been able to locate an LDS film for the 1870/71 births at Balby. Could anyone do a look-up for me or suggest a course of action I am in Australia and so I visit the Doncaster Archives. Many thanks, Tony O'Grady Melbourne Australia
Hi Tony, The civil record shows: England & Wales, FreeBMD Birth Index, 1837-1915 about Ethel Mary Burwell Name: Ethel Mary Burwell Year of Registration: 1870 Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar District: Doncaster County: Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Yorkshire - West Riding Volume: 9c Page: 582 You can order this online from the GRO and they will mail it to you in Australia. This will either tell you the father's name or let you know that you won't be able to find it because the mother didn't tell anyone! good luck Maggie -----Original Message----- From: Tony O'Grady <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tue, 2 Mar 2010 4:26 Subject: [WRY] Birth/christening record for Ethel M, BURWELL/SHAW I am trying to find the father's name regarding the following birth/christening.

Sorry for that careless slip. I meant to say that I am unable to visit the Doncaster Archives.
