pm sent with three other possible sibling births Scrase/Parkhouse. May still be alive therefore not posted.

So have you got your dads brothers birth cert to compare.

I think its just a mistake they have wrote Scrase instead of Parkhouse.

Thanks Glynis.

So mother :Mrs Parkhouse formerly Scrase
Father : W.H. Scrase

Unusal to say the least.



and yet on your dad's birth cert it has mother's maiden name as Parkhouse according to freebmd !

So this one?

Are we looking for William Henry Parkhouse or Scrase ?

Glynis, could you confirm again your grandmother's surname at birth?

Your opening post suggests it was Parkhouse, and your father's father as possibly being William Henry Scrase. You then say she was born as Scrase.

It's these little details that help us find the right people.

EDIT - I see Mike's found a Scrase birth that could be her - so how could the father's name also be Scrase (unless distantly related)?

Your Nan ?

Sorry, not understanding this.

Your Nan was born Scrase
she had your dad when she was Parkhouse.
So who is William Henry Scrase ? - Your dad's father ?

I found a William Henry Scrase born 13 November 1911 in Stafford. Died November (approx) 1990 in Birmingham. However, he may be too young to have been your dad's father.

no she was born lillian frances scrase

Is this your Nan ?
