Thread: Horton of Bedfordshire/Buckinghamshire

I need help to get going with part of my family tree I am stuck with my wifes great grandparents John Horton born 1900'ish and Florence May Williams also born 1900'ish, They had 10 children Florence may Horton my wife's grandmother born 1927, other children are Margret died 2008, Irene, Bill, Tony, Barry, Ronald, John, George and Roy.



The problem I am having is that because the information I have is so recent, I am having trouble finding them on any of the genology sites I have tried.



I would really apreaciate any help that can be offered.



Kind Regards R Jeffs

Hi Richie2021, Could this be their marriage? To get further back you will need to buy the marriage certificate, which will give fathers' names and occupations.

Hi, you can order certificates online at a cost of £7 from this website.

You have all the details to order ie. names, year and quarter of marriage, vol no 6b, page no 1225. Once you have the certificate we can then go further back. The certificate should tell you fathers' names, occupations, and ages of the couple at time of marriage. I did look at birth indexes around 1900, but there was more than one possibility for both John and Florence May, the cert will help narrow it down.



Good luck, when you receive the cert, if you need more help don't hesitate in getting back with the detais, als if there's any other help you need, you've only to ask.
