I wondered if someone might be able to give me a few pointers? I am doing ok with my Dad's side of the family but my Mum's side just draws a blank everywhere I look! Any ideas? Thank you very much :) |

Who is Edith? Is she Jean's mother? If so, should we be looking for Edith Spooner? |

That's her, thank you Rose. I don't fully understand what you mean by buy this to get the parents? Is this where the records credits come into play? I haven;t bought any yet as I see they only last for seven days and I have a busy week of work ahead so feel I might not get to use them in time. |

Rose means buy a copy of the birth certificate which will give you the names of the parents. |

I have my grandparent's names, Edith Spooner and George Sambrooks. 1907 I think for birth years. Interestingly my Nan always told us she was born on 5th December 1907 (I think, maybe 1906), not March as her look up suggests? Or is that just when she was registered? |

March was the quarter when the birth was registered. |

Oh yes sorry, it was 1906 :S I got muddled. It would have been my Mum who informed them of her death. So if I buy her birth certificate I should be able to access her parents details some how? Is that correct? I am very new to this and have done ok so far with my Dad's side of the family but my Mum's is a lot harder! |

Hmm....also says it's costing me £10 per birth cert? Do you have any idea why that is? |

Yes, Edith's first child. Gives us a clue as to when to look for the marriage. Can be time consuming otherwise. |
