ErikaH Report 14 Mar 2021 09:05

Look for his birth on LancsBMD site, or the GRO site

Use the MMN info to find the marriage of his parents

Then work backwards in exactly the same way

Finding the info yourself will be much more fun for you

I spent hours and hours some time ago backtracking Lisa's family directly with her and sent all the paperwork to her. Usual advice to check info herself, all sources identified and buy certificates where necessary.

She has all the information found this morning, but her online tree is rather confused.

Alice Wallworth married Robert Disley, they had 3 children, there's then one who I didn't find a baptism for so ? Father, 2 who were baptised with Edward Waddington named as Father and finally George William and James, no Father. (Banns called for Alice and Edward 1883, Alice finally married Edward Waddington in 1906, but somewhere along the lines he was a bigamist/Fathering children not with his wife).
