Was Handley-greaves his birth name or just greaves as both Ralph and Lillian are on the bmd's under G, Ralphs father William was also a H Greaves

I have just answered my own question. Been on 1911 and on there it states that my G-G parents had 2 children and one was now dead. So Lilians parents are the same as my Grandads.

This site gives instructions about how and where to apply for a copy of a will or order of probate proven between 1858 and the present.

My grandads birth cert shows the correct parents as we know them but I don't think they were ever married. We were always led to believe that Ralph Henry was disinherited because he went off with the maid so Lilian may not have the same mother as my grandad.

Ah, 9 months old so her birth should have been registered ,have you looked under Wilkes

Shirley~I,m getting the hang of it Report 10 Sep 2010 11:16

there must have been other children so getting one of their birth certs will help

Ralph died in the April quarter of 1925 and there is a probate dated 1925, if you can hold a copy of the will it might help you.

Her father is definately my G-grandfather but i want to find out who her mother was. My G-grandfather was Ralph Henry Handley-Greaves and he was supposed to have married Kaziah Wilkes but I have not found a marriage cert for them either. Any help would be appreciated.
