i am trying to find out about my grandparents, my grandfather john francis died in may 1964, he was a fireman, my grandmother was called anne nee booth, and she was a member of the salavation army until just before her death in 1981.
Apart from them having four children, john,alan,margaret and susan, i can`t seem to find anything else out, so if there`s anyone with any info i really would appreciate it ...

1st I looked for his death reg. Found it. This gave me his age (roughly)

John F Wildman
1964
Age 47
Leeds
2c-182

This means he was born about 1917.
Checked all of 1917 and found nothing!

Found his birth in 1916 quarter 3 (jly aug sept)
John F.Wildman
W.Derby
7b-1079
Mothers maiden name 'Hall'

You can now buy this birth cert and it will give you both his parents names and Fathers occupation.
(a tip)Never pay more then £7 for any cert!

Hope this helps

Good luck and have fun
