If you give the names of your grandparents and where they lived or were born, then someone will be able to find their birth references for you.

With that you could buy their birth certificates and these will give you their parent's names and you can then look for your great grandparents in the 1901 census.

My grandads name is Bertie Charles Farrow and he was born in november 1916 in woodbridge, suffork.

He married my grandmother who name is Agnes Wilkinson and she was born in 1919 in tyne and wear area.

I do not know when or where they got married. they had five children between 1947-1959, they lived in the gateshead area from at least 1947.

This is all the information i know.
