Kerrie, You can search 1837online for any births or order parish records at your local LDS Centre. Baptisms won't give the date of birth but you will get the parent's names. Crista

Hi Kerrie, You need to find either the nearest county records office to you or the nearest lds centre and check out the fiche. From 1911 births were indexed with the mothers maiden name. Then it will be just a matter of trawling through to find your grandfathers siblings. Befor 1911 may be trickier unless he had a really unusual surname. Good luck Janet

Hello, I am trying to find out if my Grandfather had any other brother or sisters. His parents married in 1907 so the 1901 census wont be any help. There is quite a big gap between them marrying and my Grandfather being born in 1921, which makes me think there may have been older children. It is quite impossible for me to visit the record office as my Grandfather was from Haltwhistle, Northumberland and I live miles away in Runcorn, Cheshire. Has anybody got any suggestions?? Thanks Kerrie
