Hi Clive

What a shame, I think in that case you need to order the birth and marriage certs from www.GRO.gov.uk using the references given earlier, they cost £9.25 each.

when you have them, we will be pleased to help you further

Clive, that's really sad. They can't stop you buying your own copy of the certificate, though.

Clive Report 24 Oct 2010 19:09

my dad gave all info he had when lorna died to my brother,and has been very hedgy about letting me know any info,it is possible that he has told my brother to make it difficult,its almost as if there is something in his background that he doesn't want me to know,my brother hasn't updated his tree for a while and again he is not very forthcoming with any info he has that i dont.

thanks

You say your brother has Lorna's birth cert?

it should give the full name of her mother (and hopefully her father)

we need to know these names if we are to help you further.



Clive

Clive Report 24 Oct 2010 18:48

i only have howlett as mothers maiden,no father,so those on my tree may be wrong
thanks

Clive, I think it would be well worth sending off for that birth certificate to see what the parent details are.

Hello again Clive. There is a tree on Ancestry, owned by a Clive Maddock (yourself?), which gives Lorna Elizabeth Mills birth date as 11/06/1913 in Cheadle, Staffs, death is 2003. Married to Ernest Henry Maddock 1904-1964.

Tree gives mother's surname as Howlett.

Clive,
You need to get a marriage certificate to find out her Father's name.
Also, are you sure about the date of birth?
Thanks
