I have managed to trace my grandmother and grandather, who were not married, in the records. I have their full names and address from 1919 but I have no idea of what I can do now to see if I can trace any other descendants? My Father was placed into care at birth so therefore we have no records of his family history until we have recently found our grandparents on the records.
Can anyone help on what we do now?
Thanks
Martin

Were they born before 1901? Perhaps we can find them on the census.

I have found my grandfather on the 1901 census but my grandmother was born sometime in 1901 so is not shown. But we do know where they were both residing in 1919. What we are trying to find out now is what happened to them after this? Did they marry, each other of someone else? Have more children? etc etc...
This seems to be harder.

Have you checked FreeBMD to see if they married each other?
