post 44 , Hi i have struggled to Get the children of Margeret Smallshaw (holland ) in a order , and how many children she actually had with who as there are lots of children. I do know that she had the three children before she was married . But then she has other children as a gaskell and holland . .i would like to get them into a kind ogpf order with fathers if possible . obviously the first three we do not know the fathers names . But any help would be gratefully received .

I don't think you mean post #44!

By chance, I read post #42 and that sent me back to post #35 where I think I've done a lot of the work for you already.

You just need to use the GRO index and work your way through it using the various surnames to fill in any gaps I've left.

I've already written about Thomas, Mary and Esther.

You need to look for James and John as I didn't look up those two.

Then the next set are Henry, Ellen Sarah and Margaret and I've already posted their registrations.

I would suggest you make a list of all of these and see how big the gaps are in between to determine whether you need to be looking for any more children who may have died between the census returns.

You need to post what you know already, with dates, places, census ot whatever etc and the source(s) for that information and then what your question is, please.
