My grandfather, Frederick Newsome was born about 1863. I know his fathers name was James as it says so on Fredericks marriage cert. I can not find his Mother. I have looked for a birth certificate or baptisms with James as the Father, but can not find anything.

    Hi Cathy, Frederick married Eleanor Whitfield in 1902. Frederick was a warehouseman and James, his father is deceased on the Marriage cert. his occupation is down as a foreman.

    I have looked at so many Frederick Newsome and James Newsome, I am going round in circles.

    I have found a Martha Newsome on Church of England birth and baptism with a son named Frederick in 1864 in Dewsbury, but I can not verify it.

    Any help would be really appreciated

    Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.

    I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

    FYI

    I just took a quick 'look' in:

    FreeDMD ... ( 1860 - 1870 )

    https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

    image.png

    GRO, England and Wales ... ( 1863 ±2 Years )

    https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/Login.asp

    image.png

    A couple of options.

    The Cost of a "Digital" PDF Copy for a "Birth" record from the GRO is about £7.

    I just thought that these may help, if you were not already aware of them.

    Thank you so much Brett. I have searched on free bmd before, but nothing came up! Maybe I was doing something wrong. I never tried GRO online!

    Thank you for the welcome too

    @madjev

    FYI

    I am just glad that I could provide some help/assistance ...

    That is what this "Community.FamilySearch" was originally established for ...

    Users/Patrons, HELPING / ASSSITING, Users/Patrons ...

    By the way ...

    That 'On-Line' Search facility, of the 'Civil Registration' for both, "Birth"; and, "Death", of the 'General Registry Office' ( GRO ) of 'England and Wales', is FREE to, "Register"; and, "Search", the "Indexes".

    From when the 'Civil Registration' for both, "Birth", commenced in the Third Quarter in 1837, until about 1921, the Mother's "Maiden" Name, is recorded, for a Child's Birth. And, if there is ONLY a "▬" (ie. "Dash"), the Mother's "Maiden" Name, such indicates that the Child's Birth, was "Illegitimate" (ie. 'Born Out of Wedlock').

    Good Luck.

    Brett
