Hi Jacqueline,
Do you know the name of your grandfathers father and his occupation?
Regards Vera

Jacqueline Report 14 Dec 2007 20:05

sorry vera I do not, I think this was due to my grandfather not keeping my mother she was given away at birth to his mother in law which is my great grand mother. so my mother was brought up by her grandmother and not her mother so they had little contact, her mother and father moved to huddersfield and left her in barnsley

Jacqueline the first place to start is your Grandfather's birth cert which will give you both his parent's names.
From there you can search for Helliwell birth with the same maiden name as his mother. These will only show up for children born after 1911.
If you really want to find ALL his siblings you are going to have to be prepared to invest in some certs for births between 1901 (census) & 1911 (mother's maiden name appears on BMD listing)

thanks claire, can i get birth certificates on line?

Vera

Vera Report 14 Dec 2007 21:13

Hi Jacqueline,
You cannot see the certificates online.You can order them online.
You will need to get the correct year and quarter ,volume and page number.
