can some please help me i need gro to cross reference a name can some one tell me how i do that im on gro site now but how do i ask them to cross ref a name for me

what do you need help with ???

i always double check things with freebmd and latterday saints

Depending on the district that you're searching in, you might be better off going through the local registry office for it. You have to pay for any checking points through GRO and if it's not the right one end up paying, I think it's £4 out of the £7. However, many registry offices will check and if it's not the right cert refund you the full amount.

Which district is it registered at?

im trying to find my grandmothers grandmothers birth cert but cant find a birth for her, we know when she was born and died BUT the problem is her parents in 1881 census she has got a different mother than the 1901 and her birth name changes forfm JENKS to JINKS so we dont know who her parents are and thats what we want to know

If you give us the name prehaps we can cross check it for you

Was she married ??? i mean on paper

it would be registered BILSTON in STAFFORDSHIRE

her name is MARTHA JENKS born APRIL 1875/1876

we will need her first name and approx date of birth ......

A well GRO won't be able to help you with that, you're far better off writing or ringing the reg office of where you think she was born.

The Jenks/Jinks could well have just been an enumerators error when they first wrote it down. Accents have lead to all kinds of spelling errors. Although my hiscocks line were originally hiscox but one of my cousins has documentation of the change apparently.

she was married and married to ALFRED JONES

How's this one:

Name: Martha Jinks
Year of Registration: 1875
Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun
District: Wolverhampton
County: Shropshire, Staffordshire, West Midlands
Volume: 6b

i thouhgt it was a miss print too for the census but the problem is her parents

Do you have a tree on Ancestry.com

Bilston, I believe, comes under the reg district of Wolverhampton. Would be worth contacting them to check
