Thanks malyon, I have found that info, but as he is a 3rd cousin I can't afford to buy all the certs for them. There are a couple of Billinghurst researches on GR but they don't have any information either.
So many of my Phillips seem to lead to 'dead ends' but as only 1 of the family emigrated, trying to contact living relatives in the UK [who are interested] is hard.

Why not order the marriage certificate to get fathers' names?

Thanks, I have done all of that, if I had any response from it, I would not have used the message board as a last resort.
I have been with GR for about 8 years, so I do know how it works.
Regards and Thanks

The way GR works is for you to Search All Trees, and see if anyone has either of these people there.

You are very unlikely to get any help by someone "passing by" ........... we think that much less that 1% of the 14 million members actually use the Boards. It's probably in the low hundreds!


Go to Search at the top

click on Search All Trees

If you do get a match, send a pm (private message) to the tree owner.

GR will send them an email to say there is a message waiting

Then you have to trust that

they still have the same email address that GR has on file

they are still interested

they have not died or become incapacitated.


You can check to see if they have opened your message by checking back to Sent Messages in Messages ......

....... if there is a green envelope to the left of the person's name they have not. opened it. If there is no envelope, they have opened the message and you can but wait to see if they respond.

I'm hoping there are some Billinghurst researchers who know this marriage and can give me the father of William Phillips, so I can include or dismiss him.

The missing spouse is Lucy Billinghurst. Looks like her record has not been transcribed.

I have come across this marriage on freebmd
Marriages Dec 1912
PHILLIPS William Billinghurst Houghton 10a 1008

no spouse entered yet.
This could possibly be my second cousin William who was a single 29 year old coal miner in Houghton le Spring in 1911.
Any connections to the Billinghirst family who know this marriage?
No children on freebmd yet.
Thanks
Dianne
