Only 3 or so on FreeBMD; am pming the others I can find as most could well be living, and this is a public forum.

Only found 10 probables.

?????

Name: Cyril William Radford
Birth Date: 12 Feb 1913
Death Registration Month/Year: Jun 1998
Age at death (estimated): 85
Registration district: Coventry
Inferred County: Warwickshire
Register number: B58A
District and Subdistrict: 0631B
Entry number: 9

No birth on Ancestry matching the DOB on the death record..............

Maybe he changed his name around a bit. No birth for Cyril, but one for Cecil...

Birth:Radford Cecil W Simons Warwick 6d 1593 JFM 1913.

i think they were both in their 80s
I think my nan was born in Wales and im sure my grandad was born in coventry.

Thank you

Don't forget to look at your messages inbox for the children, Pauline.

Please can u help me find any cousins for my grandparents children.

Do you know if your grandfather had any brothers or sisters?

If you are able to get the marriage certificate it will give you their father's names and also the witnesses may be relatives.

Hi could u find my grandfathers parents please any brothers or sisters.

hi again could you please find out his birth parents. any sisters or brothers

Pauline, It's getting to the stage where you will have to purchase certificates as Selena has pointed out, in order to find out more information, without which we probably can't help you any further.

The marriage cert for Edna and Cyril/Cecil is probably the starting point.

BTW, what was your grandfather known as by the family? You started the thread by calling him Cecil, but most records have him as Cyril. I'm still wondering if the 1913 birth ref for Cecil W Radford I found is him. His birth cert should give names of both his parents.

Certificates cost £9.25 to order online and can be ordered from the site below. they usually take a week to arrive.

To find cousins, you have first to establish whether or not you grandparents had any siblings.

This is something you can do yourself.....................look on freebmd for the births of your grandparents and then look for possible siblings........the MMN will be the same.

The most interesting part of family history research is the info you find for yourself..............you really will find it fun if you start doing some of your own research.

Happy hunting

One of the problems was that Pauline was struggling to find her grandparents' birth records - Flick, you kindly found a death record for Cyril W Radford, but could find no matching birth ref on freeBMD in 1913.

I think I found it as Cecil W Radford, in Warwick, as previously posted.

Edna Jenkins is probably going to be difficult unless Pauline can narrow down the window for her birth - possibly by finding her age given on a marriage cert, hopefully it won't just say 'minor', or 'of full age'.

I do agree the info you find for yourself is the most satisfying!
