Hello
I bought my Grandfather birth cert and I received it today to see who my great grandparents were.
I've been searching for my great grandparents marriages, births etc online but with no luck.

They are called: James Greer and Rose Greer (formerly Allen). The birth cert was registered in St.Pancras in 1929. There's no middle names on it.

My grandfather (their son) was James George Greer born 28/05/1929.
Any help would be great.

Thank you in advance.

Did your great grandparents live in and around the London area all their lives ... just trying to find a death registration which may give a date of birth!!

James Greer death registered Dec 1995, Haringey - date of birth 30.11.1907
James Greer death registered Dec 1993 Barnet - date of birth 22.09.1911

Either one could be a possibility with the date that their son was born!!

EDIT Not either of these two!

There are no marriages between a James Greer and an Allen (or variation) registered in Scotland 1900-29, nor in England/Wales - per ScotlandsPeople and FreeBMD.

Thanks for helping "Lynne From Up North", I know my grandad lived in London, and my dad was born there. But that's all I know.

Thanks ArgyllGran, I couldn't find it either.

Thanks PricklyHolly, that's my grandfather (dad's dad)

Thanks Gins

Andrew, that's whats down on the birth cert. Thanks for looking for me.

Do you think they possibly wasn't married, but put it down on the birth cert as formerly Allen? Could they do that?

Lynne that didn't even cross my mind being married before, thanks for helping. :-)

Andrew Report 2 Oct 2013 20:06

The trouble with that set of marriages is that Rose would be born c1875. So in 1929 would be c54. A bit old for having kids,

That Rose also looks rather old for 1929 birth.

patchem

patchem Report 2 Oct 2013 20:13

The 1929 birth is the only Greer/Allen birth.
Married in 1914 and then a very long wait ?
