Hi, im trying to find the names of my grandfathers parents. He was born Albert Thomas Song in Poplar June 1917. I have found him on the births register which has given me his mothers maiden name which is Rhodes, but i am usure of how i can proceed furthur. I am quite new to this, so may possibly be overlooking something fairly obvious. If i was to order his full birth certificate would this give me the full name of either of his parents? Thanks

Christina the birth cert will give you the names of both his parents.

This is the only Rhodes/Song marriage I can see between 1900 - 1920

Rhodes Ethel Song Poplar 1c 1333

Tong Song Rhodes Poplar 1c 1333


Tong Song has been transcribed twice in the index once as Tong Song & once as Song Tong

Possibly Ethel in 1901 but you will need the marriage cert for her fathers name to be sure.
