Hi I'm trying to trace my g.grandpa's (John Thomas Nolan) birth certificate. The only information that I have is that he is born in either 1893 or 1894. It doesn't mention his date of birth on his death certificate. I've tried tracing him down via the various census records and websites but nothing. Besides going through all the birth records for those 2 years is there anything else I could try? Thanks! Holllie

Have you found him on 1901 cesus with his family Jess

I had a look a while ago. Do they show middle names on the census?

Hi Hollie You could try asking someone on here for a look up. Someone, probably Jess, has nudged up a link for you on the board. Ann

Do you know his parents names? Middle name shown if they were given, which they often weren't. Where do you think they were in 1901? will ha[pily have a hunt about for you..but need to know kind of where you'd expect them to be

Familyrelatives has index transcribed 1866-1920 so i had a look. There were 19 births for John Nolan in 1893 and 1894. Would one of them be the one you are looking for. 1 Nolan John Altrincham.8a 174 Birth 3 1893 2 Nolan John Bury.8c 557 Birth 3 1893 3 Nolan John Bury.8c 616 Birth 1 1893 4 Nolan John Chorley.8e 481 Birth 1 1894 5 Nolan John Chorlton.8c 828 Birth 1 1894 6 Nolan John Joseph Manchester.8d 276 Birth 4 1894 7 Nolan John Manchester.8d 195 Birth 2 1894 8 Nolan John Campbell Marylebone.1a 554 Birth 2 1894 9 Nolan John Joseph Newcastle Under Lyme.6b 67 Birth 2 1893 10 Nolan John Gough Ormskirk.8b 809 Birth 4 1894 11 Nolan John Edward Prescot.8b 743 Birth 3 1894 12 Nolan John Prescot.8b 659 Birth 3 1894 13 Nolan John Leslie S Prestwich.8d 393 Birth 4 1894 14 Nolan John Rochdale.8e 66 Birth 4 1893 15 Nolan John Salford.8d 109 Birth 3 1893 16 Nolan John Toxteth Park.8b 131 Birth 3 1894 17 Nolan John Edward Toxteth Park.8b 202 Birth 3 1893 18 Nolan John West Derby.8b 249 Birth 3 1894 19 Nolan John West Derby.8b 449 Birth 3 1894

His full name is John Thomas Nolan. His father's name is John Benjamin Nolan. I don't know his mother's name. Unfortunately we don't definitely know where they were but have a suspicion that it was either up north or in Ireland.

I just had a quick look on ancestry but there are loads of John Thomas Nolan's as someone else said would need to know an area

Found this: John Nolan Male -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Event(s): Birth: 1894 Dublin, Dublin, Ireland Christening: Death: Burial: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Parents: Father: John Nolan Family Mother: Teresa Mary --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Judy Oh this could be it. Does it give an exact date of birth? Thanks! Hollie

If you can get a copy of his marriage cert, then this will have his father's name and occupation. If it's John Nolan for the father, that would match with the Dublin birth record. Then you would need to get the birth cert from Dublin (good luck with that lol) and hope the father's occupation is a sensible ''match'' too. Good Luck Sarah

Hollie: This was the only information that I found....I'm off to work but will dig a little deeper when I get in. I found the information at the LDS site: www.familysearch.org. Judy

I'm still search for an answer to your original question but did come across the following information (below.) This is the marriage of the parents I named above and the birth year for John (the father)..... John Nolan Male Family Event(s): Birth: 1870 Dublin, Dublin, Ireland Christening: Death: Burial: Marriages: Spouse: Teresa Mary Family Marriage: < 1893> <Dublin, Dublin, Ireland>

Came across Teresa Mary's year of birth, as well: Husband John Nolan Pedigree Birth: 1870 Dublin, Dublin, Ireland Christening: Marriage: < 1893> <Dublin, Dublin, Ireland> Death: Burial: Wife Teresa Mary Pedigree Birth: 1876 Dublin, Dublin, Ireland Christening: Marriage: < 1893> <Dublin, Dublin, Ireland> Death: Burial:

Hollie: Unfortunately those records from Family Search are 'record submitted after 1991 by a member of the LDS church', so we don't really know how they got the information. I think they just guessed it, so it doesn't really get you any further forward. Kate.
