Hello I'm trying to find any detials with regards to my Great Grandparents. They are Harold Woodward born around 1901 and his wife Marian Griffin also born around 1901, they were married in Birmingham in 1927 and had 3 children. Dennis Woodward (my grandfather) DOB 8/5/1928 born in the district of St Mary's in Birmingham. He had 2 brothers Kenneth Woodward born in 1932 and Laurence Woodward born in 1936. Unfortunaley i have had no luck in finding any details reagrding Harold or Marian so any leads would be appreciated Many thanks
