A couple of years ago I though I'd found them! Sons of Mary Tomlinson and John Pickup. Under 'Source information' it gives the following: Batch No: Dates: Source Call No: Type: Printout Call No: Type One was Thomas Pickup born 1806 Liverpool and the other William Tomlinson Pickup born 1810 Liverpool. Can't find a thing about them now either on IGI or Ancestry. Do the Source Call No: etc. actually mean anything? I thought I'd struck gold with the William Tomlinson as a Christian name as that is the name of the mother's father. I'd be much obliged if someone could explain this to me. Thank you

Is this him? THOMAS PICKUP Male Event(s): Birth: 31 JUL 1806 Christening: 12 OCT 1806 Saint Peter, Liverpool, Lancashire, England Death: Burial: Parents: Father: JOHN PICKUP Family Mother: MARY TOMLINSON Carole

Hi I have been told that the IGI records are rotated on the site, so that sometimes you can't find what you know you found before! The batch numbers etc are there so that you can order the film at one of the LDS centres I believe. Do know which was parish you found the entries for the children? . Heather

and in the same batch: MARK PEACOP - International Genealogical Index Gender: Male Christening: 02 OCT 1808 Saint Peter, Liverpool, Lancashire, England 2. THOMAS PICKUP - International Genealogical Index Gender: Male Christening: 12 OCT 1806 Saint Peter, Liverpool, Lancashire, England 3. WILLIAM TOMLINSON PICKUP - International Genealogical Index Gender: Male Christening: 08 JUL 1810 Saint Peter, Liverpool, Lancashire, England 4. JAMES PICKUP - International Genealogical Index Gender: Male Christening: 02 SEP 1804 Saint Peter, Liverpool, Lancashire, England

Eureka Carole --Yes that's one of them!!!!! How did you manage that??? The other one, William Tomlinson Pickup 1810 was also christened at St Peters Liverpool on 8 July 1810. Thanks for that. (whispers) any chance of the other one please?? Pretty please? J PS Just seen the other messages and thanks so much. Are the parents the same??

easy-peasy they're back on there so just used the batch numbers to find the others - which other one do you want - think the 'peacop' is one of yours too

Carole - it maybe easy peasy to you but it aint to me!! ANY of them providing the parents are the same please. I've been trying this brick wall so long I'd nearly given up until I started sorting papers today and then thought of the boards. Thank you and thank you!!! Just seen your latest reply - and thank you again. I'd no idea they had so many. I'm descended from a John. I know that for sure from family papers. Any mention of him??? J PS I tried the batch numbers before coming on the boards but got nowhere.

use the batch numbers to find the other children once you find one child, click on the batch number at the bottom of the page this will take you back to the IGI search page (but you'll see the batch number has filled itself in). Then just enter the surname of the child and the father's and mother's names - this will bring up the other siblings recorded in this batch. hope this helps Carole

re John Pickup There are sevaral possibilities on IGI with parents John and Mary (but no surname for mother) which doesn't make for positive identification. Do you know where/when he was born, have you found him on any census? Carole

Thanks Carole - just did as you said but seems there's no John so must be James. 1804 is the date I have for John so no wonder I couldn't find him!! Thank you so much for your help. Damn! I've now got to print out the tree again - but it's worth it! J

The mother's surname is defintely correct. I have been unable to find John on any other sites so it must have been James. He would have been born in Liverpool almost definitely. Thanks again. J

Personally I'd try and check the parish registers - john could simply have been omitted from the IGI or born in a different parish altogether so James might not be your ancestor - even if the birth dates conincide they could have been twins!

Thanks Alan I hadn't come across it myself, but had been told it by other people who sounded certain! I will not pass on incorrect information. I will not pass on incorrect information. I will not pass on incorrect information. I will not pass on incorrect information. I will not pass on incorrect information........ Heather

In Heather´s defence !!! Someone on the board had been told by the Shropshire LDS or Records Office that the IGI was rotated over a 6 week period. I particularly remember this as some of my ancestors are from Shropshire. In fact the more I think about it - I think it was from the Shropshire Records Office and it was in their information as to what you could/could not access when visiting.
