Hi i am posting this to found my granddad family for my mun. My mum is Margaret E Metcalfe born about 1936 at Gateshead

Her mother was Olive Miller,we know alttle about her family,but all we know about t grandad is he was John Mathew Metcalfe born about 1907 we tink he had 2 brothers 1 may have been Thomas and the other Richard know as Dick. Dick was a steel jack all something like that in world war 2, Not a lot a go on but thank you for any information anyone can gave us.

Your grandparents' marriage cert should give his father's name and his birth cert both parents' names:
