I have hit brick walls with my g.g grandparents. I have addresses where they were born (early 1900's) and parents names but am stuffed after that! I have all their names but clueless as where to go next. Parish names confuse me - how do I get a complete list - area is Manchester Ancoats/Bradford

ANY help would be great xxxxxxx

This is not a brick wall!!

Do you have their birth certificates? Have you got the marriage of the parents or found them on the 1901 census?

If you don't have their birth certs, you need to buy them.
