this my first post so please bear with me. trying to find the birth certificate for samuel edward stafford born abt 1875 in new mills derbyshire.
I know the following
1)he married charlotte sweatmore on 13 march 1897 and gave his fathers name as Edward Stafford on marriage certificate.
2) in 1891 census he is living in new mills with his sister margaret ann stafford and her daughter mary hannah RG12 piece 2787 folio 6 page 7
3) I found him in 1881 census RG11 piece 3464 folio 64 p13 living with his mother mary stafford aged 40 his sister margaret aged 10 and other sister sarah a stafford aged 20 and the landlord Edward Louns.
I have looked on freebmd, ancestry, family search but cant find a definitive birth for samuel edward stafford in 1874-1876. I have tried looking for samuel stafford and also edward stafford in this area. but i cant find the right one.
i have bought the birth certificate for his sister Margaret to try to find out herfathers name but none is given.
I do have to warn you though that New mills is a nest of Staffords and there are millions of them.
I think the fathers name of Edward may not be right and it may infact be Stephen Stafford who ends up in Bakewell as a shoemaker but not with wife Mary (mother of Margaret Sarah and Samuel Edward).
But i am stuck so any ideas would be gratefully received.
thankyou for reading this.
