The best ideas I can come up with in a hurry are for you to study the history of your areas of interest so you'll know what's going to be most helpful to you to search. Also, to check at your local Family History Center for whatever microforms are available for you to view, whether they're already in-house or to be rented from the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. Get to know your local historical and/or genealogical society people who have ability to point you in the direction you need to search, and make contact with those who currently live in your areas of research interest. The work takes much time and effort. Although there is a great deal of information on the two websites you've checked, they are only two of a great many. Much is in hard copy--books, periodicals, card files and miscellaneous collections of libraries here and there--and hasn't yet been made available for digital reproduction to websites. Whoever is the local expert--in your area of inter!
est--will be able to suggest a myriad of documents to view that may or may not have information you're seeking; however, the deal is to look anyway and make note of what is or is not found in order to facilitate your research. That's it in a nutshell for a quick response. Good luck. It's worth the effort. Eventually you'll start to find what you need, after the work is expended. Or, you could get lucky--many do--and find something wonderful right away.

I am helping a friend of mine with her family tree but I'm missing many dates and places and I'm looking for help or suggestions. She was born in 1979 and her parents are in thier sixties so that gives an idea of possible birthdates for her ancestors.
Her great-grandfather was Albert Edward Fletcher and he was from England. He married Florence Ida May Tansley.
Albert Edward Fletcher's parents were John Henry Fletcher and Catherine Colbourne. Catherine (Colbourne) Fletcher was from/of Horsley Wood, Derbyshire, England.
This is all I have to go on and I can't find anything on the LDS website or Rootsweb to point me in the right direction.
Any info or suggestions?
Maggie

Hi
No, her maiden name was Taylor. She was my Great-Aunt. She married a man named Wallace Colbourne, who also came from Priston, near Bath, as she did.
Sorry, the link didn't fit!
