his birth cert will name his mother and his marriage cert will name his father -so you need both these first regards louise

I'd start with his birth certificate, since you know what year he was born. You can look for the reference on Ancestry. It will give you both his parents names, then you can look for them on the 1901 census. Kath. x

Hi Kenneth


welcome to the Boards.


Unfortunately, this thread is a very old one ............. 2006!!


It is very probable that Karina no longer looks on the Boards.


and GR does NOT send notifications of new postings on threads.


May I suggest that you send her a pm (personal message). GR will then send her an email to say there is a message waiting in the internal message system.


Just click on her name, or on Send Message. Type your message, then click Submit.


Then all you have to do is hope that she still has the same email address that is on record with GR.



Good luck
