I am trying to find the name of my greats nans dad my family believe he died during ww1 but no one knows his name just his surname. Tooke

He only has one daughter Sarah Caroline Tooke born in 1915 Greenwich,London.

His wife was Sarah (known as Sally) Farrow who was born in august 1984

Any help on either of my great great grandparents would be very much aperciated

Many Thanks

Looked on freebmd cannot find anything or any of the information that everyone has found the search tool is to hard what am i doing wrong!!!!!!!!!!!

This information seems to be correct want to find out more

Any one help how to use freebmd

To Find the births & marriages on Freebmd (I am putting everything from start to finish):

Go to www.freebmd.org.uk
Click on "search"
Click on births or marriages option in box for "type"
Fill in relevant name(s) - note the surname is in 1st box, I'm forever doing it the wrong way round!
Forget year and area in this case, you will find these people easily without that

Good luck! Sorry if you know this, but I assume you are aware that the other finds - i.e. census reports and baptism - are from other sites??
