If you have 2 Windbridge brothers marrying 2 Harris sisters the births on FreeBMD could be either family. For instance there's a Gladys registered Sep. Q 1914 and a Norah registered June Q 1915. Unlikely to be same family.

Thank you very much.I think im a bit slow on the uptake.Its only just registered that Donald and siblings are/could be other children of Emily and Jacob.There are a lot of trees searching the Windridge family and not one mentions any other than the first four children.Thank you yet again

The only way to confirm his parents is to buy the cert if you dont know where he fits in the family

Do you use FreeBMD?

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/

If you click on Biths, surname Windridge, mother's surname Harris, you'll find 7 children born Coventry between 1912-1924.

Look for the birth in freebmd.........the mother's maiden name will be on the entry

Use that info to look for their marriage...also on freebmd

It's a very easy site to use.........................................
