Heya guys
I've just gotten to the dead end of my family tree with my GG Grandmother Kaye Holland.

My G Grandfather Herbert's father is unknown. I was wondering if there is anyway to maybe find out who the father was?

The area I am working on is West Yorkshire, primarily Castleford. Most definatly England.

Dates Herbert was born 1906 and we beleve his mother Kaye was born 1886

Do you have a copy of Herbert's birth certificate? Is Holland Kaye's married name? It could be that she was not married when Herbert was born.

Have you got Herberts birth cert?This is the only one i can see for Yorkshire in the time frame
Births Mar 1906
Holland Herbert Archer Tadcaster 9c 1014

His second name of Archer may be a clue as to his fathers name. If you can find his baptism it may name his father,depends how precise the vicar was in his records!

We are not sure whether she ever married. We have a feeling Herbert may be a bastard. His birth certificate didnt help us. We also don't even know if Kaye is even her name. That is just what was in our own family records. Kaye could be short for something or a middle name...

Shirley - I never considered that Archer couldbe hte fathers surname. However according to family legend Kayre nebver told anyone who the father was...Strange
