Find Ancestors

If anyone has any information on my nanny and grandad in the london area- please let me know Her name was gladys maud lock and i know my grandad went to war,

Carol If you have any idea when or where they lived it would help. Do you want to trace your tree or do you want to contact people who might have known them? nell

You need to add dates when they were born, where they were born.Where tey lived. Otherwise no one will be able to help you

Naughty Christopher, lets try and help Carol as she is new on the board Linda

Is this her??? Name: GLADYS MAUD LOCK Death Year: 1999 Age: 87 Birth Date: 1 Sep 1912 Death Registration Month/Year: May/99 Registration District: Reading Inferred County: Berkshire Register Number: A3B Entry number: 34

No unfortunately but my grandad was born in london

He fighted in ww2 ,he did not die at war

If this is her birth it would give you her parents names to trace back. Name: Lock, Gladys Maud Record Type: Births Quarter: September Year: 1903 District: Hackney County: Greater London London Middlesex Volume: 1b Page: 507 (click to see others

Well i do know she was born about 1920

Given that you haven't given even rough dates, this might be your grandmother's birth reference, you'll have to buy the certificate for more details. Do you have your grandparents marriage certificate? That would also help you in finding out more about their ancestry. Name: Lock, Gladys Maud Record Type: Births Quarter: September Year: 1903 District: Hackney County: Greater London London Middlesex Volume: 1b Page: 507 (click to see others on page)

What about your grandad? When was he born roughly? For 1920 you'll need to look at 1837online.com for the birth certificate reference because it's too late to be on any of the free sites.

No i dont unfortunately :-( Thanks anyway for all of your help

Carol, Are you trying to do your Family Tree OR are you trying to trace folks who may have known them ? IF you are doing your Family Tree, Then you need to apply for the Birth Certificate of the lady named above. The Numbers given are what we call the reference numbers ... you need these to apply for the certificate. The birth certificate will give you both her Mum & Dad's names ... which means we can try and trace your famnily further back for you, stating with the 1901 Census. Do you have any idea when your Grandad was born ? or when he died please ? ... how old was he when he died. Where did they live ? We can't help you much more if we don't have the above information, as much as we would like to pet. Dancer x

Carrol Give us all the information you have, approx birth year and where born on both people will be needed for us to try to find them. As you can see we are all looking in any era and just clutching at straw's. You must have more information than you have given.

Well do you know when they married?? If so, look up their certificate reference on www.1837online.*com -remove the * - and buy it, and then see what it says. Sorry to lose my patience, but you have to do even a little bit of the work/hunt yourself before asking others - it's a bit rude. More than happy to help when you have a better idea of dates etc.

god im only 13

I just want pictures and info about them thats all

You shouldn't be using this site if you are only 13 .... sorry petal .... can you ask your parents some more questions ... to help you build a better picture. Dancer x

Despite your age, that still doesn't mean we can help you more. Pictures - what makes you think we'd be able to get you pictures when you don't know much about them? You didn't say what you were looking for. You didn't say when they might have been born, when they roughly married, if they were still living etc I was 14 when I started (I'm 22 now), and I bought certificates out of the money I earnt at my Saturday job. I was just saying that we can't do all the groundwork for you. Surely you understand that. I did say that I didn't mean to be harsh. I wish you all the best in your research. Chloe x

Ok all i know is gladys maud lock died young of cancer and my grandad alfred richard casson went to war ww2,he was not hurt in the war, Gladys was born roughly 1920's. Any pictures or info would help I think they were born in the london area Carol
