Hi..... :)

Just found the site as I just started to research (hopefully) the Hargreaves name in my family on my dads side. Just wish there wasn't so many Hargreaves' and Elizabeths'... Originally from Lancashire now living in North Yorkshire for the past 4 years. No doubt I will need some help at some point. Thanks. Judith

Hello and welcome to AA.

Good luck with your research. When you are ready give us a few details about your ancestors and what the 'brickwalls' are that you have and I am sure someone will be able to help.

If you want help or advice about the site, please ask.

Brian

A very warm Ancestry Aid welcome to you Judith..You have come to the right place for help as our members are only too willing to lend a helping hand..I have the surname Davies to sniff out and coming from Cornwall so you can imagine what a task and a half they are to try and find..Good luck and all the very best to you Judith with your search.

Welcome to AA Jude59,
The next step after getting a marriage cert is to try and trace the father of the groom by his name , occupation and a rough guess of his age age. The marriage cert will also give the age of groom if he is under full-age and then a search of censuses should reveal a family and places of birth. And then do the same with the wife. Sometimes it's plain sailing and sometimes it isn't... but we are all here to help you with look-ups, suggestions etc.
Good Luck
Lola

Thanks Lola ..

I have had lots of help so far and I am progressing slowly, it was overwhelming at first with all the dates and names coming to me but I am tackling it one step at a time.. and starting to build my tree. Thanks to everyone involved.

Hi Jude,

I'm late for the party but offer you a belated welcome, you seem to have already made yourself at home which is lovely, I've seen you in the Games Room having a little lighthearted break from research.

Catch you later, good luck.
