Hi, just wondering how I can find out if someone was born in India. My mum said she used to overhear adults when she was younger that her auntie was born in India, this might not be true how can I find out. I am going to find her marriage certificate beacuse I know she was married to Archiebald Smoker. We think she may have had a different father so I hope if I find her marriage certificate this should clear things up for me. Any ideas welcomed. Fern.
