Linda,

Is the only source of reference to your grandmother's name the entry for mother's maiden name in the GRO index for your mother's birth.

Once you have your mother's birth certificate it will be interesting to find out her parents full names. There are very few entries on Ancestry with the surname BROLYN. I wonder if it has been mistranscribed. BROWN perhaps?

I'll be interested to hear the outcome when you get her birth certificate

Pete

Thats great news thank you i will order the certificates from Devon.

thank you

I can see no Austin/Brolyn marriage. You will need to purchase Josephine's birth certificate to get her parents' full details

Birth:



Name: Josephine M Austin
Year of Registration: 1921
Quarter of Registration: last quarter
Mother's Maiden Name: Brolyn
District: Devonport
County: Devon
Volume: 5b
Page: 452

thats right thanks

Thank you, this is new to me and i wanted to find out about my family so i will apply to the registry for their marriage lines and i will sort mine out

Okay, her death notes that she was Josephine Minnie Higman born 26 September 1921

My Mothers married name was Higman, she was married in plymouth devon, to William Athur. she died on oct 3rd 1975

If we're to help you, we have to start now and work backwards. Firstly, you need your own birth certificate, then your parents' marriage. From that you can ascertain your parents' ages at marriage and also details of their fathers.

You are right I asked my older siblings and that is when they thought he was born, yes it is a big diffrence so i think i will go back and ask again,i must be just writing things down without working it out, thanks for pointing it out!.

I'm sorry, Linda, but nothing is coming up. Exactly what information do you have? Eg, What was your mother's married name? When did she die?

Not compeletly sure of first male! female was my mother, and her name was Joesephine Mini , sure of other male his name was Stanly and the older Brouther was called Arthur.

Something doesn't add up. If they had their first child in 1890 and the last in 1948, there is a 58 year difference and I'm positive she couldn't have had children at that age!
