Hi Jillian - you're very welcome - glad I could help.
You can order certificates from the UK very easliy. It costs 9.25 (GBP - or sterling) per certificate including postage worldwide. I use the service all the time and have had much success with it.
Go to the GRO web site here: http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/ then click on the "Order Certificates Online" link and away you go - you'll need to register etc (Register/Log in link). Have a read and you''ll become familiar with how it works.
The freebmd website at http://www.freebmd.org.uk/ is where you can search the index of England and Wales Births, Marriages and Deaths occuring between September 1837 (this is when civil registration became mandatory) through 1982. Before that we rely on Parish records kept by the church - so your Edward will be the only child of the couple that "had" to be registered. This is where I found Edwards birth. You can even view the original image of the index to be sure the transcription is correct and save any errors (I checked Edwards already and it's fine).
So - what you need from the freebmd site to order Edwards birth from the GRO site is the following:
You will be asked to select whether a Birth, Marriage, or Death - birth obviously, then...
Name: Edward Mitchell
District in which the birth was registered: Cranbrook
Quarter in which the birth was registered: September
Year in which registered: 1841
Volume number: 5
Page Number: 73
It's really very easy and will probably be with you in about three weeks. I usually get mine within two weeks to Canada. :)
Cette option s'affiche sur la page d'ouverture d'un site (voir les statistiques familiales).
J'aimerais savoir comment ces statistiques sont calculées, puisqu'elles m'indiquent que plus de 90% des naissances et décès ont eu lieu aux USA, le solde se trouvant... en Angleterre, alors qu'en fait ils ne représentent que moins de 1% et qu'aucune personne n'est née ou est décédée en Angleterre !
I would like to know how this statistics is calculated. They show more than 90 % of births and deceases in USA and England. In fact they represent only less than 1 % and than no person was born or died in England!
Have you come to a halt researching some US history facts?
Or, are you just trying to get started on your research?

Six degrees of separation (also referred to as the "Human Web") refers to the idea that everyone is at most six steps away from any other person on Earth, so that a chain of, "a friend of a friend" statements can be made to connect any two people in six steps or fewer. So lets try it! These two people I am trying to locate for my genealogy research.
Ellen May Allport born in Lindsay Ontario Canada on July 16th 1920 and Charles Edgar Allport born on December 9th 1922 in Welland Ontario Canada. Ellen was placed in the Children’s Aid Society of Niagara shortly after wards (1936) returning from living with her Grandmother (Maria Polley) in England. Ellen may have moved to the U.S in 1940 after her release from the CAS of Niagara. Charles was placed in the care of the CAS of Niagara but his adoption was never finalized. His last ware about was in Grimsby Ontario in 1950. There father was George Allport and mother was Ivy May Wotton.

Hi - I am looking for any information on an ancestor by the name of William Robin Johnston. He was born in Ayrshire, Scotland in about 1761. He married an Irish girl, Margaret Ferguson, and it appears that all fourteen of their children were born in Ireland (mostly in Co. Cavan); note: I've only been able to find names for ten of the children. It seems that many of the children emigrated to Canada as young adults to the Carp and Huntley areas (Ontario) in the early 1800's. One of the sons, Samuel, is the next link in our ancestral tree. If anyone has any information on this family could they please let me know. I'd be so grateful.
Instead of matching our faces with celebrities, can we just match faces with other random users on here? If that isnt available then I think it'd be a nice feature to have.
