My name is Gordon Wynniatt. My great grandfather was Robert French who was born in 1840 in Northamptonshire. His father James French was a labourer. Robert married Sarah Ann Taylor (also from Northamptonshire) at St. Thomas Church in Birmingham in 1873. Robert is shown on the marriage certificate as being a widower. His occupation is shown as retail brewer. Sarah Ann gave birth to a child in 1871 in Farthinghoe, Northamptonshire, out of wedlock, and then gave birth to my grandfather, George Frederick French in Farthinghoe on 28th February 1874. She had two more children, Daisy May and Minnie. Robert French died on 8th June 1880 in Birmingham General Hospital from Hiemoptysis Pneumonia. At the time he was retail brewer at The Rose and Crown pub in Hingeston Street, Hockley, Birmingham.
I have disocvered a family tree on Ancestry which shows James French, born abt 1813 married to Ann with Children Maria, Elizabeth, Robert and Frances. James died in 1898 and Ann died in 1901.
I want to try to obtain some birth, marriage and death certificates for some of these people if I can tie them in to my own family tree. If anyone can give me any further information which will help, (including Ann's surname) I will be very grateful
