Find Ancestors

Hi I am trying to trace info on my grandpa, he was born in Birmingham Warwick and in 1930 he married, this was in Bolton. He died 1956 in Doncaster. We think he had 2 brothers, who may all have had a middle name of Henry. He also had a sister called Maddie. We have no details of these or his parents, and their siblings.
I would be grateful if anyone could help.
Many thanks
Barbara

HIs father's details will be on his marriage cert

Have you looked for a birth registration?

In your original post, you said he died in 1956

It would be wise to get a copy of the marriage cert for factual info about his father's name

Did he serve in the Army ?

Hi I'm sorry if I have posted something in the wrong place, I,m not sure where I should post things. :-(

Nothing you have posted is in the wrong place, Barbara.

What gave you that idea?

You really do need to get a copy of the marriage cert......................without it, we are guessing when we post info.

If you want to have an accurate tree, you can't really get by without spending on certs, especially if the names are not very unusual

Have you read the posts on here?

Hi thanks. I will have to get a copy. My grandfather re-married and his 2nd wife took all the paperwork and my mum and aunt have nothing but they are too old/il to offer much.

Hi I managed to get a copy of my Grandpa's birth certificate. Charles Henry Roberts father was John Henry Page and his mother Elsie Tompkins. He had an older sister Florence Elsie Roberts born 1889 in Torquay. They moved up to Birmingham and she was put in an institution for epileptics. This was called Monyhull Community.

Hi I now have details of My great- grandfather and Great-grandma. Parents of my grandpa Joseph Monk born 1882 in Holborn London. They were William Monk, he was a master builder and Roman Catholic. She was Mary Murray, think she may be from Ireland. There is a family from Essex but not related.

So the 1901 census is the right family.........I hope you've noticed it by now.

Several siblings on there for you to research................
