Does anyone know how to find out relative's birth/death dates just by using their full name? We've hit a brick wall!!! Thanks. Also - Where do we start looking for previous companies? Deborah

I just keep looking through the GRO lists on fiche. I usually find "it" in the end. "Previous companies"?

You must have some idea about which decade(s) these events occured in. Is this 20th century, or before? Could this person be on a census? Do you have a marriage cert? When you say "previous companies" what do you mean? Are you talking about somebody's occupation and their personnel files? nell
