If there is no father named on the birth certificate and your mother doesn't know her father's name then anything would be based on guesswork. Neville may be either a given name or surname. |

Hello Linda, I wouldn't assume that the name 'Neville' is your grandfather's name, it might just be a name that features somewhere in your mum's mother's line. |

Thank you. Unfortunately my mum and grandmother have passed but I will certainly go and check the baptism records |

It might be worth checking out any Nevilles' in the area just prior to the date of birth, at an appropriate age. |
