Anne if you want any help you will have to give more information but be careful of what you post if it refers to living people.

To be first cousins 1 of your parents and 1 of his parents must be related as brother or sister

sorry but i don.t agree with you maidwell is not a common name there is not many people with this name.

RutlandBelle

RutlandBelle Report 24 Dec 2010 18:18

I didn't mean it was 'common' but that you shared the name in that it was common to both of you

OK so I havee got back to Graham's parents (I think but without certs all speculation)

Cyril F Maidwell married Lilian Rookwood in 1930 Lambeth

Cyril F Maidwell was born as below:

Births Dec 1906
Maidwell Cyril Frederick Bromley 2a 532

as he is not in your father's family in 1911 he may be perhaps related to Robert Charles Maidwell you grandfather

19 rabbits! my goodness. My dad used to keep and breed rabbits in the 1950's but for food not as pets!

Does Graham have his father's birth cert (Cyril Frederick Maidwell) that would give his father's name which you could then try and tie up with your tree.
