hiya, what you need is a birth or marriage cert for one of the brothers, this will give you, fathers name and mothers maiden name on birth cert, do you have any of these???? if not you will need to search www*ancestry*co*uk for the complete index of Births Marriages and Deaths, this is FREE to search, if you replace * with dots it will take you to site, when you have parents names then you can possibly find them on 1901 census hope this helps JUlie

Do you know what happened to these men? If any of them have died and you know when and it was after 1969, then their date of birth will be in the death indexes. If you are able to post any dates of death then someone should be able to look them up for you. Merry
