I know little of George other than he was living in Ogmore Vale in 1917 when his son Norman marred .......

ErikaH Report 22 May 2013 13:10

Please say you know where he was living.

The marriage cert records the addresses of the 'happy couple'...........not their parents.

How old was NORMAN in 1917?

What was the father's occupation?

Have you done any research yourself?

freebmd is your best bet

Hi Brynbach and welcome to the boards.

Can you please say where and when Norman was born?

We might then be able to find him on a census with his parents.

If you have Norman's marriage cert.........please can you give us all the details.

Prickles.

In that case, look for Norman's birth on freebmd....then find the marriage of his parents

Or do you have the birth cert?

If you do.....please give full details
