Find Ancestors

Im looking to trace my fathers family and have come to a bit of a standstill really on my grandfathers side.
My dad was Anthony Healy born in 1957, 2 sisters Linda and Frances and a brother John Patrick.
Their father Michael F Healy 1919 - 1972.
If anyone has any info from that side of the family would be extremely greatful.
Thanks for reading

Have you tried searching Trees on here??

Use freebmd to find info

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

Once you trace Michael's birth.........you'll be able to look for the marriage of his parents..............as the MMN is on the index after 1911

TIP

When you ask for help - location info is useful, to say the least

EDIT

Healy is an Irish name, so we shouldn't actually assume you'll find anything on freebmd.

Is this the man's marriage?

Marriages Jun 1949 (>99%)
Dixon Constance Healy Leeds 2c 776
Healy Michael F Dixon Leeds 2c 776
Healy Michael F Kilbourne Leeds 2c 776
Kilbourne Constance Healy Leeds 2c 776

Buying the cert would be your best bet....................if he knew his father, the details will be on it

The first marriage for your grandmother

Marriages Sep 1945 (>99%)
Dixon Albert Kilbourne Leeds 9b 1096
Kilbourne Constance Dixon Leeds 9b 1096

There was one son...............

Births Dec 1925 (>99%)
Kilbourne Constance Morton Leeds 9b See M'28

Births Mar 1928 (>99%)
Kilbourne Constance Morton Leeds 9b 619

Births of Anthony and full siblings confirm the accuracy of the data I've posted

Yeah I have info on my grandmother but its my grandfathers family that I have become stuck on, The info on here doesn't have who his mother was so wasn't able to even trace through her name :(

Do yourself a favour and buy the marriage cert for Michael and Constance

You need the marriage certificate for details of Michael's father.

Michael may not have been born in England or Wales.

On Rootsireland.ie , a Michael Francis Healy was born in 1919 in Co. Leitrim.

Please note: I don't know if this is the right person.

But as others have said already, you need the marriage cert to find out his father's name. Then you'll be able to check if the birth in Ireland is the right one.

If it turns out to be the right birth, then you can search for his father and possibly other relatives here (Irish census 1901 & 1911):

as well as continuing your search on Rootsireland.

Thanks for the info, will have a look in the morning :)
