My Grandfather was Alfred Prangle from Winchester.I would love to learn more of his family and know more about him.He died in 1942 when I was two.I know he served in the Kings Royal Riflers. As Prangle is not a comman name are there any out there who may know of him or be related. He also trained ay Neller Hall Miltaryt School of Music as a cornet player.Doreen

If you bought your grandparents marriage cert you could also see grandads fathers name and occupation.

If this is Arthurs birth cert you could buy it for both parents names and the address of his birth: Go to GRO online and register, use the reference details given below and pay £7 -

You should be able to print info from here by hightlighting and copying the text then pasting it onto something like a blank page on your word processor?
