Okay then, so I've got the right Pantreys!
Do you have a subscription to Ancestry or any other site where you can search censuses?
I'd do it for you, but
(a) I should get some work done (b) that would spoil all your fun!
The fun really is in the discovering, I think.
I use Ancestry, which has a 14-day free trial subscription that might be all you need to find a lot of info.
With the names and ages of Edward's parents in 1901, you can probably find their births, then find them as children in their parents' households, then trace their parents back ...
Also, if you search at www.familysearch.org for Edward Pantrey, for example, you'll find a slew of them going back to 1606 in Kent, so once you get as far as you can go in the censuses and the GRO index, you might be able to get a lot farther back still.
Will we cross in the "post" again? ;)

Grandad Had four kids. Sharon Terry (my dad) Keith Kevin Alot of them were born & raised around Ticehurst/Goudhurst/Kent

I see you have an Edward Pantrey born 1840 in Kent in your tree, so I think I'm on the right track.
This would be the marriage of your great granddad's parents:
Name: Charles Edward Pantry + Elizabeth Saunders Year of Registration: 1893 Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun District: Cranbrook County: Kent, Sussex Volume: 2a Page: 1349
It's going to be an easy matter to trace the Pantreys, at least, back through the censuses and BMDs. You are fortunate to have a quite uncommon surname there. Me, I'm looking for people called things like James Hill and William Hill ...

No, you havent It was Ticehurst lot. The problem I have is there were quiet alot of them & no one eally knows. I know about my Grandad who was Edward Pantrey, I wounder then if his dad was also called Edward it is a family name.

Hi Maria -- tell us where your great granddad was born / lived / married, and an idea of when. In fact, tell us as much as you know! (including his children's names)
I'm going to take a wild guess -- might this be him?
Name: Edward Pantrey Year of Registration: 1897 Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep District: Ticehurst County: Kent, Sussex Volume: 2b Page: 103
(My gr-grparents were born around 1850-1870, and I'm guessing you're younger than me.)
I searched at
http://www.freebmd.org.uk
for an Edward Pantrey who married a Rose, but it didn't find anything. This is probably because he married after or just before 1920, and FreeBMD has not got all those lists transcribed so that they're searchable yet. They're coming along, though.
If that birth record is your great-granddad, then you can order the certificate to get his parents' names. Meanwhile, this would certainly be that Edward Pantrey in 1901:
Name: Edward Pantry Age: 3 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1898 Relation: Son Father's Name: Charles Mother's Name: Elizabeth Gender: Male Where born: Ticehurst, Sussex, England Civil Parish: Ticehurst Ecclesiastical parish: St Mary the Virgin Town: Ticehurst County/Island: Sussex Country: England Registration district: Ticehurst Sub-registration district: Ticehurst ED, institution, or vessel: 3 Household schedule number: 56
Household Members: Name Age Charles Pantry 34 Charles Pantry 5 Edward Pantry 3 Elizabeth Pantry 30 Ethel Pantry 1 Florence Pantry 6
It's quite likely that I've guessed entirely wrong; if so, hand over whatever you've got -- especially any idea you have of birth date and place -- and we'll try again!

Hello I'm enquiring about my past as i never really knew my dads side of the family. My mum & I have managed to get back to my great grandad, then we have no trace of people on my dad's side after that. I Ideally would like to know who his father was. My great grandad was called Edward Pantrey & he was married to a woman called Rose. Any information would be greatful.
