Trace the family forwards or backwards?

What research have you already done yourself?

Use "Search" top right of this page and the Search all members trees. Input what details you have to see if there is a match and you can the hopefully contact others who are researching the same people.

It's unlikely anyone researching the same family will just happen across your thread.

You should be able to find him with his family on the 1901/1911 census if you have access and if you have his marriage then you can check for children born to him and his wife.

Using the free website
http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

you can find 2 possible births to the marriage in Coventry. Not posting here as a possibility they could still be alive.

and then you can check for their possible marriages and children using the same website and you can also check for deaths.
All records on the site only go up to the 70's as it is an ongoing project from 1837 on. Other commercial websites will take you to around 2007

Yes it is an unusual name.
I have had success before of someone recognising my post so here's hoping it might happen again. Just wondering if any relations of his or Beatrices are interested in the family history and can fill in a few blanks I have.
Thanks

The birth record in Coventry has solved a mystery regarding a photo that I have. It says Peter 18 months.
Thank you.
Every bit helps!

On Ancestry it gives the marriage date as 27 Dec. 1921 but when I look at the document it says 1920! Thanks for pointing that out. Find my past have it as 1920, I hadn't picked up the mistake.
Thanks
