Hi Patricia,

Did you manage to contact your uncle?

Had you given the birthdate of your father as a checking point?

Let me know if I can be of any more help.

I was wondering about Ireland as they are Irish names aren't they?

Maybe you'll have some success when you manage to get hold of your uncle. Will be here for about an hour then away till about 6.

this is the problem see ,ant find any mathing siblings , the only reason i can think of is that joseph and rose had different mothers , or maybe my gr father had more than one wife ,( you never know it might be true ha ha)
im so stressed ,,just a thought they might of been born in ireland ,
thanks

I've done 1920-22 and the only Joseph P is Q3 1920 Tynemouth MMN Kirtley, lots of just Joseph but none with the 2 MMN Masters or Murray and none in York.

If you get hold of him let me know, but will have a look at 1920/21 if Ancestry doesn't play up

Only thing I can suggest is finding out the birth year of one of the other siblings and then I'll look for that.

Do you know that he is still alive as he would be 89 now.

If you get to know the birth year of your uncle I can look at the complete images to find the MMN

dont have mum marriage cert sorry ,,its doing my head in ha ha , my mothers side is a lot easier ,

The birth reg with Masters as maiden name was Towcester, Northampton wasn't it?

Do you have your mother's marriage cert as that will give your grandfathers name and we should be able to trace his marriage.

Just found the marriage in Towcester and that one is also James.
Surname First name(s) Spouse District Vol Page

Marriages Mar 1918 (>99%)

Kelly James Masters Towcester 3b 23
Masters Violet A Kelly Towcester 3b 23

so that idea is no good.


The lastest census available is 1901 so you have to get to know your grandparents names for that.

i have looked at murray and masters but i cant find anyother siblings except a liillian ,, can you do census lookups? i know the latter ones are harder to find . found out from my mum that he was born in york but the others might not of been born there , i just sent off for my dads birth certif with masters MMN , totally think i have someone elses certif now ,
ps i havent spoken to my dad in 30 odd years
