I am trying to find more about my grandfather. His name is Charles McDonald. He was born approx 1902. He married Olive Goodfellow on June 2nd 1931, Olive was 17. My grandfather was a labourer and they both lived at 19 Coburg Street Leeds at the time of their marriage. They had 2 sons Derek born 1932 and Owen born 1935. My father was Derek. I can find no trace of Olive and the marriage certificate shows no fathers name or occupation. I was led to beleive that Olive died when my father was 4 and my great grandmother brought both boys up. I beleive that my great granmothers name was Mary and she lived in Kincardineshire. She lived to be 96. Can anyone help as I have come to a dead end. Many thanks Lynda
