As you have the index you might want to get the certificate
http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro £7 using index details
then you could post parents names for a census look up

Many Thanks for your replies, I haven't used this service before and wasn't expecting anything.

I visited Layton Cemetery Blackpool two years ago to view a grave plot that my Thomas b.1865 bought (I have the invoice) and in this plot I found

Elizabeth b. 1890 died 1904 (daughter)

Robert Gregson b.1870 died 1938

His wife Annie ( nee Webster) b.1874
d. 1945

Is this my Thomas younger brother?

Whilst at Layton Cemetery got information of two more plots with various surnames as well as Gregson, one even had Eveline like my name. but as yet cannot connect them to my tree.

Again many thanks,

Eveline

I really appreciate people helping out from the goodness of their heart.

I also thought that James and Elizabeth may be the parents of my Thomas as these two names carry on to the next generation, but where was Thomas on the 1871 census?

I now think that William and Martha may be the parents, but neither of these two names carry on to the next generation?

I am going away for a week tomorrow, when I come back I shall probably have to take the bull by the horn and send for a birth certificate and hope it is the right one.

Once again many thanks for the help
