Looks as if you are going to have to buy the marriage cert.

No obvious births showing in England or Wales and not found a match on Scotlandspeople either

His POB should be on the death cert

Farndale may not have been his registered birth name

GlitterBaby

GlitterBaby Report 8 Aug 2012 12:31

Just had a pm

NO, HE WAS MY MATERNAL GRANDFATHER , SO THE INFO I HAVE IS GENUINE. BUT I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO FIND HIS BIRTH PLACE OR PARENTS.OR ANY SIBLINGS. THE ONLY GEORGE FARNDALE I CAN FIND IS BORN IN EGTON YORKS WHICH MY SISTERS TELL ME IS NOT RIGHT.





You really need the marriage cert for name of father, if given, and the name of witnesses would be useful

Thank you very much for all your info.

just he is the mystery i seem to get to a dead end.
i did not know he had any medals ?

GlitterBaby

GlitterBaby Report 8 Aug 2012 12:51

BUT at the moment we can not prove the medal card is for the correct person

Are you going to get the marriage cert ?

Date of birth on death registration could be wrong
