Thankyou everyone, very helpful! I have my grandfathers birth certificate which names Joseph William Humphries as his father, that is the only info I have - any suggestions on how I can connect the 2 people. When people were born were their second names always registered? As My grandfather was born in Camberwell so i am not sure which one it might be... if that makes sense thanks Sharon
