I am searching for any information for my grandfather who was married to Ada May Davison and lived in Rotherham, Yorkshire. I cannot find the names of his parents.

Thanks.

No mother's maiden name on the GRO- could indicate an illegitimate birth.

Birth:
CHANDLEY, FRED - (no mother's maiden name listed)
GRO Reference: 1892 S Quarter in WORTLEY Volume 09C Page 303
---------------------------------

Perhaps the illegitimate child of Mary's daughter, Frances? (Unlikely to be Annetta as she married Jos Fletcher in 1888)
