Hi everyone. Its taken me about a year to piece together my mothers family tree. I was lucky that she had a fairly uncommon surname. It took a while as one of the ancestors decided to change his the spelling on his last name for everything from marrigae certs to sons birth certs and divorce papers. He aslo had on a number of papers that he was born in New York and even changed his middle name, but when I finally found his death cert it had all the same info as when he was born.
Ok so what I need some advice on is how to find his farthers birth and death details. I have his mothers birth date and her mothers birth date from the 1851 census. So any advice would be helpful guys. The details I have are below.
Frederick George Mortyn born 1850 in the parish of St mary islington, Middlesex (Baptism in 1853)
Mother, Elizabeth Mortyn (Backhouse) born abt 1834 in the parish of Nottingham St Peter (1851 Census)
Mothers Mother, Elizabeth Backhouse born abt 1796 in the parish of Nottingham St Peter, Newark, Nottinghamshire, England
I can't find where the father of Frederick was or born or his parents. The fathers name is Charles George Mortyn, One document I do have says he was married in Islington as well.
So any help advice would be helpful in finding the next generation would be great. Plus is there a way I can find out more about the last name Mortyn ?
thanks for your help
