Rather confused by the timescale Andrew...what year was Charles Rhodes born and where ? As the couple never married he maybe registered under Patterson.

I think Charles was born 1944! (Looked for birth on ancestry, do not have psychic powers).

Charles is my dad's dad so he would be my grandfather ??

I know he died 1950 but not sure when he was born he would be called Rhodes and I think his dad Harold or Harry Rhodes was in the army please forgive me as it is all a bit hard to follow at times...

My dad was born in Middesbrough and his dad Charles I believe was also born in Middlesbrough....

Andrew

Andrew Report 27 Jul 2009 01:02

Jan I am not sure that is the same Charles ie my dad's dad but it could be my dad's brother as he also was called Charles !!!!

I am not sure this is the same person to be honest unless Middlesbrough back then came under Durham...

Hi Jan

Andrew, the 1944 Charles is Rhodes mother Patterson.
Jan


Thankyou very very much ( this is then my dad's brother_ then

I wonder if you could tell me is Charles (the father) or Harold or Harry the father 1 of Charles (1944)

A bit of a sad story here but Charles ( 1944) committed sucide infront of a train think he died in 1974...

Andrew, without birth cert you can only get mother's maiden name.

Andrew, I wonder if your dad has the generations mixed up?
It looks as if that 1944 Charles is your dad's brother and his mother's maiden name is Patterson.
Do you have your dad's birth certificate? It must have parents names?

With just a little knowledge of the Welsh pronunciations (Welsh ancestors etc) and looking at google maps could Brin Eridid be Brynhyfrid I wonder...a small villiage within the area of Swansea.
