well if you get the birth cert for the details it shouldn't be too hard to find out some more :) Falconer is not too usual a name . Good luck with it.

This may be birth (on Ancestry), the only one that comes up for right date and place. if you get the birth cert it will give parents names to go from.

Name: Frank E Francis
Year of Registration: 1913
Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep
Mother's Maiden Name: Falconer
District: West Derby
County: Lancashire

Hi, can anyone help me with founding more info on relatives I know little or nothing about?

My Mum's step Dad raised her and later adopted her. She has 3 half siblings. They believe he was born in 1913 on 3rd June. They also belive it was in West Derby somewhere and that his family are from Liverpool. He died 23rd May 1983. My Nan has also died now so I'm struggling. We dont know any of his other relatives and the ones we did are also dead. I found there marriage and his death but I really want to find more on him. His name was Frank Ernest Francis. He resided in Leamington Spa with my Nan Gladys Josephine Mary Thacker. Please help me. My Mum and Aunties would be so happy if I could find this.

I also a little stuck with my Dad's family. We dont have any contact. How do I find someone I know nothing about? I know the odd name but not always a maiden name. I know roughly when they might have been born just on the generation but I'm stuck. He doesn't know or doesn't remember.

I'm on ancestry as well.

thanks kelly
