Hi

lincstothepast.com is another good website which has Lincolnshire parish records on it.

Jane

Researching the records often requires lateral thinking, Sue.

Thinking of ways in which someone might possibly have mis-heard, mis-spelled, or mistranscribed a name is something you take for granted after a while!

The use of wild cards is also valuable, and less is often more in a search

Many Thanks for all your speedy replies it is greatly appreciated, it will give me something to go on.
I made a mistake when researching looking for the exact surname spelling but this was wrong to do.

Any other advice would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks
Sue

I am trying to trace the STORR family , born Boston area in Lincolnshire , My Grandparents were William Henry Storr and Phyllis Edith Mary Elston. Williams father was Christopher Storr who married Paulina Elizabeth Dawson in 1907.
I believe that Christopher's dad is Joseph Storr and Mum Elizabeth ?. This is as far as i have got, if any one has any information please contact me
Many Thanks
