Can anyone help with my search of UK lords!!
Hello, I have only recently begun to investigate my family background and i havnt got too far! I am lucky enough to have an old famly bible which gives me details of my great,great grandparents. However beyond this i am lost!
My G.G grandfather is James Lord born july 19th 1871 and my G.G Grandmother is Elizabeth lord (nee Bolton) born July 28th 1870. I know that they come from Cliviger, Burnley and that they had 4 children Annie 1894, Gertrude 1895, sarah alice lord 1898 and Ada Emma (not sure what year but died aged 3 days). Also in the family bible is a name i cant read and a child called Ruth Hey??? My grandparents are no longer alive so I have no sources of information. I have considered writing to the registry office for James and Elizabeths birth certificates but on the forms you have to know their mothers and fathers names which i dont. Im really a novice at such things and wold be grateful for any help anyone could give me! Also are all births from 1870's onwards at the registry offices or was it common practice just to fill in a family bible??? thanks for any help, melanie
