Thank you for all taking the time to reply - I will get on with ordering the certificate so that I can start.

Many Thanks

His birth cert would be the best place to start as this will give you both his parents details.

I do not have much information on my grandfathers family at all, and he was born in 1902 - so I can't find him on any census.

How do I find out information to get me started - is the only way to order his birth certificate?

My grandfather is William Edward McArthur, born in London - possibly Fulham in May 1902.

Any suggestions greatfully received!

Thank you
