Do you mean parents or children

[jourdain2]

I would have thought so. Have you tried the Army?

According to FreeBMD, the only people named Hubert Foreman who were born in the relevant period (i.e. when they could have later served in WW1) were these:

Hubert Charles Foreman (b. Blean, Kent, Dec 1874)
Hubert Foreman (b. Faversham, Kent, Jun 1886)
Hubert Leslie Foreman (b. Blean, Kent, Sep 1894)

Assuming that the middle initial ('H') to be correct (and equally assuming that his middle name might have been omitted from his birth certificate) the most likely match would seem to be the Faversham one. FreeBMD further suggests that he married (also in Faversham) in Jun 1907.

Using those starting points, you could research further using paid subscription services (such as http://www.ancestry.co.uk/ , which offers a free 14-day trial) or order copies of his birth and marriage certificates from here:

Aagh!!!

I can't spell! (Or, more accurately, I can't read properly!).

Well done, UKB, for noticing that it's 'Forman' and not 'Foreman'!!!

Just to tidy your information up a bit though, the d.o.b was in March 1895. He was married in Jun 1q917. He died in Louth in Sep 1955.

you have to be careful with dates because they are clustered quarterly and the record says the last month habitually. I research family trees for others as a hobby and earner and have the full Ancestry International package. if you have any bottlenecks in your tree please ask ( my speciality )

[Buenchico]

>>>you have to be careful with dates because they are clustered quarterly and the record says the last month habitually

Thanks for that, UKB. I'd worked out that 'Mar' in the search field actually means '1st quarter' (etc) but my poor, tired old brain had failed to recognise that it works the other way round too!

[ukbod2015]

You are welcome how did your win 10 go

[Buenchico]

^^^Now you're getting confused, UKB. I wouldn't touch W10 with an infinite number of the proverbial bargepoles. ("If it ain't broke, dont' fix it" is my motto!).

[ukbod2015]

Funnily enough it works fine - they are already talking about stopping support for 7 ( my fave ) the worst issue was it changed the date format to US.

what sort of relatives? Do you mean more information about their immediate family, or are you looking for descendants alive today?
