    I don't think it was an actual District was it?

    The nearest area would have been either Hampstead or Finchley I reckon

      I lived in Highgate many years ago.

      My grandmother did too, before her marriage.

      What street was it? It might depend which part of Highgate.

        Thanks Joan
        I'm totally confused as it appears as a place of birth on some of the censuses but looking in the Atlas it's near Hampstead, Islington, Camden and Hornsey

          Hello Elizabeth .... we posted at the same time !

          I don't have a street or any definite information ... think I've found myself another nice brick wall ... it's given as a place of birth

            Rachel, this is why it might be easier if we know the street. The part of Highgate I lived in was close to Hornsey. North Highgate is close to Barnet and Haringey. South Highgate is close to Holloway, and the western part close to Hampstead.

                I'm 99% sure it's Edmonton district.

                  Unfortunately, all I can say is that she was born abt 1832 and in 1851 she's working in Islington, giving her place of birth as Highgate, Middx.

                  1861 she's living in St James, Westminster and gives her place of birth as St James

                  1871 her place of birth is once again Highgate ...

                  1881 .... Westminster

                    Erm...maybe I'm being particularly dim, but why do you need to know the registration district she was born in if she was born before civil reg began??

                      I was trying to get an idea of who her parents might be ... I was pretty sure I found her family months ago in another county, but now there's a question about her father

                      Think I'm clutching at straws, so will have to give up for now

                      thank you all ....... maybe tomorrow

                        You're basically going to have to assume 9 more than likely) It's Camden and then have a search at the LMA. Next check bordering Islington parishes.

                        Have you got a marriage for her and Fathers name?

                          Hi Peppi
                          I don't have a marriage cert as yet

                          There's a marriage on Freebmd and Ancestry which fits .... but the IGI has an extracted entry for this marriage, naming her father as James .... which is not the person I thought it should be

                          I may have to send for the cert and see if the ages match, but was hoping it wouldn't be necessary.

                              Rachel, could you post details of the person in question?

                              Then we could send out a search party through the censuses, IGI and Pallot's Index etc to see if we can ferret something out!

                                I'd prefer not to post details on here
                                but if anyone has a fresh brain cell, a bit of time and would like me to pm the 'story so far' .... I'll try to write it down concisely with the census refs.
