Thank you sylvia i will look into all the information.
.the name harris was mentioned to me a couple of days ago by my auntie, which is close to the name
harrison but my auntie seemed to remember it being on my grandmas death cert, as mothers maiden name. maybe she got her wires crossed and the name harrison or harris was on my grandads death cert.
i will purchase my grandperants birth certs and see what i can find. thank you so much for your time and patience .

This is really really difficult ebcasue you have no geographical areas to help us, and Wood is such a common name.

This is one record for 1901 which has both a Mary Alice and a Gertrude ...... who you imply are the two eldest children .......... and a mother Elizabeth. Plus the area is close to Oldham where your parents were married.

However, they do have rather more children than you say!!!

BUT it is only supposition .................. we do need to know a better geographical area than England!

janinafix.

do you know some dates ..... when your mum and dad were born and were married, as a start


Have you any idea when your grandparents were married?

That can lead us ack to your great granparents.


Was Wood your g grandmother's married name or her maiden name?



Where did these events take place?




sylvia

You can buy a marriage certificate with just your G Grandmothers name.

When was she married??

What was your G Grandfathers last name??
