You may want to look for Avrel Pickford. He researched the Pickford family lines back to their original name Pigge. Has photos and war stories . He is from Jeannette , Pa. Also traced them back to Great Brittan and Germany. Good luck.

The BMD records office will take you back to the 1830's then you have to go to the county records office. You can view BMD records on-line through http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/.
Before the 1830's you have to go to the county records office of the last known municipal borough. They will have the BMD records of each parish in some cases going back as far as the 1500's. You can see most of these on the Mormon website www.familysearch.net The birth records normally give the parents names and then you can look for marriage lines. Once you exhaust the parish records you need to look at deeds of land records and wills etc for additional information. I have traced my surname back through land deeds to Edward White 1070 who we are 90% certain was son of Wulfweard the White. Surnames started around the time of the Norman conquest.

Pickford
English: habitational name, perhaps from Pickforde (‘pig ford’) in Ticehurst, Sussex. The surname is now most common in the Manchester region, but it does not seem to have reached there before the 17th century.

Hope this helps a little more

I'm Theresa. Lol

I know James Pickford was born in Salford 1919 as he was my husbands grandfather.

His perents were John and Emma Pickford both born in salford in the late 1800s.

Thank you so much for the list of pickfords Im this will be of some help.

A kind lady from a salford forum is going to check the marrage cert of John and Emma at the manchester library is going to find out who there parents were as I am from yorkshire it is a way to travel just to see a cert.

I noticed that on your pickford list you have a pickford from the 1600s how do you trace someone back that far?

Don't forget to ask around your family, and people who contact you via genesreunited for old photos, you can add these on to your final tree too! Its always interesting to look for family resemblances. :)

I suggest you join the PICKFORD emailing list at RootsWeb part of the Ancestry group.

These are like forums for researchers to share data, you email the "List" and everybody on the list gets your email, then you get everybody else's emails to the list - obviously a lot of it will be irrelevant to your search, but by following how other people get their results and give each other advice, you learn a lot about how to do it.

I'm only interested in helping people with Norfolk (UK) ancestors, so there's no point in us being "Friends" on here until you find a Norfolk connection in your tree :)

Good luck with the search - it took me three years to do mine :)

Hi! Just got your email re Arthur Phipps via Genes reunited-his sister is my Great Nan. I've replied and shared the tree- Best wishes, Neil

I don't have birth certs (yet) I have got most of the info from a number of people and will only put it on my family tree if they match.

I will be getting birth certs for each one but at £7 each a cant afford to get them all now.

When I started this I tought you could get all the census form and certs for free off of the internet, (doh).

I hope your set back doesn't put you off, I have only been doing this for a week or two and now I am addicted. :)

2007-08-05T11:03:52+02:00

I hope your getting all the birth and death certificates hun. To prove these people are who you think they are.

I thought I had gotten my family tree back to 1680; only to find out that the woman I had gotten most of my info from didn't have proof that the people she was finding were actually related. So I'm only positive from 1850 onward now. Turned me right off.

There are a number of ways you can get the information you need. www.ancestry.co.uk is probably the best but you have to subscribe or pay as you go. This will give you census informatio for 1841 to 1901 (in ten year intervals). I subscribe and if you give me a while I will check on the people you mention and see what I come up with. The other useful site is Free BDM which gives you births deaths and marriages for the UK from 1837 to present - but not all data is on line yet.

I'll be in touch

Actually, just checking, if you click on th first link:

http://www.1901censusonline.com/search.asp?wci=person_search

You can search earlier dates for free too :)

Good luck!

In response to:Can you help me?

2007-08-02T15:34:33+02:00

You could try the 1901 census online. Anything earlier than 1901 I think you have to go one of the libraries that stores all the old records (again I'm not sure where they are).

Here is a link that could help:

http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/census/

The 1901 census search is free and if you want to go any earlier I think you will have to pay a small fee.

I hope this gives you a good starting point :)
