Hi, Im looking to go further then i have on the family name Twell, I havent been doing this long so im a bit out of my debth and I havent got that far at all. I've managed to get to John Twell, who was born in Lincoln in either Jan, Feb or march of 1862 his wifes first name was jane but unfortunately i dont know her maiden name. They lived in Hull, I have them on the 1901 cencus, but thats all I've got, I havent got anything on who his parents are or what they're called or anything and i dont know where to begin. Any help would be Greatly appreciated

You need to buy the marriage certificate to confirm the wifes maiden name and the fathers of both bride and groom and other bits of helpful info. Buy certs on line at GRO for £7 using the GRO reference.
