Hi, I have Percy on the 1891 census if you send me your email address I'll send you the image. It should help you find his birth reference. Updated - Besty Towle image sent also Gwynne |

Hi Claire and welcome, sure you will become totally addicted like the rest of us. If you read the link on the homepage for newbies that will help you a lot re finding people. Basically, if you have your dads birth or marriage cert that would confirm his parents (or just dad in the case of the marriage cert). From there you go backwards, as you seem to be doing, through the various certificates and by using the census available. It may be worth you considering a sub with ancestry at about £70 a year as this will give you access to all the census that are available currently plus the 1861 census in a few months time (we are told). Good luck. |
