Find Ancestors

trying to find any information on my grndad robert warren all i know is he lived in pitt street, norwich norfolk in the 1920s his wife was elisabeth norman. they had three children bertie,robert and rose.rose married into a greengrass family.robert never married and ran a fish and chip shop in norwich.bertie went into the navy,came to london where he married iris blake. any info appreciated.

This appears to be their marriage reference. Getting the certificate will give you both their fathers' names.

brilliant, thanks very much,i hope this is the same ones.will wait to hear from you. PAM

Several Robert Warren's born right area right time so its best to get the marriage certificate to confirm father. Then you can find the family on the 1901 census.

No other children found apart from those that L Lass found

Selena

bertie is my dad he was born 4th march 1920,so that sounds good.as he is 88 he cannot remember too much and the rest of his family are dead. PAM

new to this ,how do i get the certificate. PAM ps, really gratfull for your help.

You can order online

www.gro.gov.uk

certificates should only ever cost 7 pounds. You will need the quarter, year district, volume and index number given above

Selena

Does you dad remember his grandparents names? If so you can ask for a 1901 look up for Robert and his father.

Selena

no asked him that, he said in those days they were just grandma and grandad. not like now mine know our name.PAM

Then I think marriage certificate of Robert and Elizabeth is the next step.

Also have you checked to see if anyone on site has matches in their tree? just put the names in the quick search box at the top of the page.

Good luck,

Selena

hope you dont mind me asking but do you do this as a hobby as im also trying to get info on my other grandparents. there is no one left to ask ,i should have started this when they were all alive. pam

Yes its a hobby, I've been doing it for five years. It can get expensive but you get lots of help from the other members on this site.

Selena

would you mind if i gave you info on my other gparents. dont expect you to do it now but when you can .thanks for your help i will keep in touch .pam ps, this must be fate i have a gdaughter named selina she is a twin. pam

Pam,

I still can't find the birth for Rose, any idea on a year of birth.

Just noticed your father took the name of his younger brother who died.

LL

Just found her Pam,

Rosa L Warren born Oct/Dec 1916 ref 4b 184

PS - if you post up the details of your other grandparents, someone will, I am sure, take a look to see if they can help.
