I cant seem to find any records for my nan - June P Warren born 1946 in plymouth. mothers name was Elsie king.
I've tried searching different dates, surnames etc - i cant even find a record of the marriage to my grandad.

I dont know if im doing something wrong or whether there is a reason why there are no records for the names im searching for.

Please help! Thanks in advance :)

If you let us know your grandfather's name (send by PM if you want to keep it private) I/we can have a look for their marriage.

Sorry, didn't answer your question! Found birth on Ancestry. It is a bit odd isn't it. looking at county! Obviously her though.

For some reason Ancestry tries to derive the county from the district - I've noticed it frequently gets it incorrect.

This can lead to you getting no results if you have happened to enter the correct county......!
