When was your G/Dad born

If you do a name search on here someone has a Violet & Francis Linstead in their tree

my grandfather was born around the 1920s i think he was from the east end,he has 2 daughters my mum susan and my aunt stella,i dont know where my aunt lives i havent seen my mums side of the family for years

Is this your grandad's birth:-

Maxine,

As Julie has said, if you put any of these Linstead names into the quick search boxes at the top of the page, you will find someone who has these names in their family tree. You can click on that person's name and send them a personal message. They may be able to tell you more about these people.
