It's http://www.freebmd.org.uk/

If you try looking on the site for your grandmother's birth, you'll find that she is registered under Doris R Otway, but also under Doris R Emberton.

This would suggest her parents were not married to each other at the time of her birth.

Hi Flick,
Thanks for the info, it ties in with what I have been told by my grandmother.
No, I havn't tried freebmd as I'm not sure which site it is, is it www.freebmd.org.uk or freebmd.rootsweb.com?
Thanks,
Chevaun.

I'd be grateful for any information relating to George Otway who died in 1941 in Kensington, London.
George was my great grandfather but I'm not sure if he ever married my great grandmother Rose Emberton., although they did have a child (my grandmother) Doris Otway, born 1933 and they all lived together in Westbourne Park Road,W11 from 1933-1941. There is also a prior link to Yorkshire. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks,
Chevaun.
