Wish List...

If you would like to help with this project there are several ways you can get involved. The most useful and interesting thing you could do is write down your memories of members of the family, especially older members and send them to me to include in the narrative I am writing (and which will be shared with all the family). Also, if you have any photos or interesting documents eg school records, old letters, these too would make great additions to the site. And please do get in touch if you come across mistakes in the website e.g. incorrect dates of birth or wrongly spelled names.

If, instead, you'd like to spend some money (!) then you could offer to pay for me to order one of the following certificates:

• Death certificate of Annie Faller to establish cause of death (Deaths Jun 1905, Faller Annie Theresa, 15, Halifax 9a 290)


• Birth certificate of Geoffrey Toft (Births, Dec 1842, TOFT Geoffery, Huntingdon 14 176 ) to establish if he was a member of our family


• Death certificate of Mary Toft, to find out where she died and to try and establish if she was indeed Richard Toft's first wife (Deaths Jun 1839, Toft Mary, Huntingdon 14 124)


• Marriage certificate of Ellen Toft, to find out who she married (Marriages Jun 1902, Toft Ellen Mary, Wellingborough 3b 277)


• Marriage certificate of Alice Toft, to find out who she married (Marriages Sep 1910, Toft Alice M, Wellingbro 3b 379)


• Birth certificate of Emma Jane Toft (Births Mar 1872, Toft Emma Jane, Wellingbro' 3b 165) to confirm that she was a daughter of Richard and Avis


• Marriage certificate of Harry Smith Toft (Marriages Mar 1902 Toft Harry Smythe   Lambeth 1d 422)to find out who he married.


• Birth certificate of Richard Toft (Year of Registration: 1871, Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar, District: Huntingdon, County: Huntingdonshire, Volume: 3b, Page: 274) and death certificate of Eliza Toft (Birth Date: abt 1839, Year of Registration: 1871, Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar, Age at death: 32, District: Huntingdon, County: Huntingdonshire, Volume: 3b, Page: 195)to check whether Richard was indeed a child of James and Eliza, and also to see if Eliza died giving birth


• Marriage certificate of James Toft and Mary R Wood, in 1st quarter of 1911 in Uppingham district (Rutland) to see if they are related to James and Frances Toft of Barrowden.

Certificates can be ordered online and cost £7 each. Each certificate ordered helps piece together the puzzle of our family tree, and potentially opens up new lines of research.
