    Default Roston or Ruston

    Hi my great grandmother Elizabeth Roston/Ruston was born in Smethwick Staffordshire c.!847. trying to find a birth certificate for her but without luck. To make matters worse on her marriage certificate to William Reading her name has changed again to Rushton. Can anyone tell me please what district would her birth be registered being born in Smethwick. If I could find that out it may make it a bit easier to find her.



    Thanks Marjie

    I also use this site when I don't know all the details as they perform searches for you and also supply the birth, marriage or death certificate

    Hi Marjie,

    The following link may also give some info to help you in your search, i.e Smethwick was in the diocese of Lichfield prior to 1900.

    Hi thanks a lot for the info. I think I may be able to find the birth certificate myself now. Never heard of certifiedcertificates before probably won't need it in this instance but Ive made a note of it for future reference, I'm sure it will come in handy.

    I can certainly say I did myself a favour by joining ancestry aid.



    Marjorie.
